Indices in this article
NEW YORK (dpa-AFX) – On the New York stock market, the Dow Jones Industrial (Dow Jones 30 Industrial) should first make up part of its losses from the beginning of the week on Tuesday. The broker IG estimated the leading index just under an hour and a half before opening 0.24 percent up to 34,365 points.
With the exception of the Dow, the most important US stock indices had continued their record run the day before. The technology-heavy NASDAQ 100 is likely to remain close to the record on Tuesday, but hardly any changes are expected at the opening.
The focus is on economic data, for example from the house market half an hour before the stock market starts, as well as consumer confidence half an hour after it opens. Investors are also observing the ever faster spread of the Corona variant Delta in more and more countries.
On the corporate side, the focus is on the banking sector, because the leading Wall Street banks want, as expected, to distribute more money to shareholders after passing the stress test. Morgan Stanley wants to double the quarterly dividend to 70 US cents and use up to twelve billion dollars for share buybacks. The papers rose preliminarily by more than three percent.
Goldman Sachs (Goldman Sachs) also wants to increase the dividend vigorously. Goldman shares rose nearly one and a half percent principally. Of the large institutes, only Citigroup does not want to change its previous plans for the time being. The papers lost just under one percent in pre-market trading./ajx/mis
