NEW YORK (dpa-AFX) – The US stock markets posted moderate losses on the penultimate trading day of an extremely successful stock market year. Until shortly before the close of trading, the leading indices were almost consistently positive on Thursday, with the Dow Jones Industrial -0,01% climbed another record high at 36,679 points in early business. In the closing minutes, some investors seem to have got cold feet after all.
Ultimately, the Dow fell 0.25 percent to 36,398.08 points. The US leading index is thus heading for an annual profit of just under 12 percent. The S&P 500 -0,47% fell 0.30 percent on Thursday to 4778.73 points. It had also hit a record high in early trading. The Nasdaq 100 -1,10% lost 0.38 percent to 16,429.10 points. This looks much better for the technology-heavy index – viewed over the year: The previous annual balance sheet is up 28 percent./edh/he
