After the new course records on Wall Street on Easter Monday, the standard values stayed near their highs on Tuesday. The Dow Jones Industrial
was listed in the first hour after the stock market launch, only slightly weaker with minus 0.10 percent to 33,492.84 points. In the medium and long term, the trend arrow in the Dow clearly points upwards, wrote chart technology expert Franz-Georg Wenner from Index Radar. In the coming days, however, investors should be patient.
A surprisingly sharp increase in employment in the US in March had both the Dow and the broad-market S&P 500
already driven to highs the day before. On Tuesday, the S&P 500 set another record. Most recently it was 0.09 percent higher at 4081.55 meters. The tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 advanced 0.10 percent to 13,611.81 points.
“The growth impulses come from the Covid-19 crisis, because the proportion of those vaccinated is increasing,” wrote analyst Chris Hussey from Goldman Sachs . He spoke of the recent impressive economic signals in the USA. There are no signs of overheating or inflation concerns.
Little has happened on Tuesday with the individual titles. A canceled buy recommendation from Goldman Sachs for the shares of Chevron had no negative effects on the price of the oil company with plus 0.4 percent. After several years of above-average price development for Chevron shares, the investment bank now sees more potential in other industry giants such as ExxonMobil . ExxonMobil gained 1.4 percent.
Pharmaceutical and healthcare stocks ended up at the bottom of the Dow. The titles of health insurer UnitedHealth Group lost 1.5 percent at the bottom. Coca-Cola papers were in the lead with a plus of 1.1 percent
