In line with the negative world stock markets, the US stock markets are also likely to open in the red on Monday. As in Europe, technology stocks should be under particular pressure.

In the previous week, the US benchmark index had barely moved on balance.

After the engine failure of a Boeing 777 near Denver, the US Federal Aviation Administration ordered inspections for machines of this type which are equipped with certain engines from Pratt & Whitney. The Japanese aviation authorities have already issued a flight ban. In the pre-market trading, the Boeing papers fell 2.9 percent. The shares of Raytheon Technologies, parent company of Pratt & Whitney, lost 1.9 percent pre-market.

Biontech stocks gained 1.4 percent in pre-market US trading, while Pfizer stocks fell 0.2 percent.
