NEW YORK (dpa-AFX) – The most recent record rally on the US stock markets continued towards the middle of the week. Hopes for a new US economic stimulus package soon and interest rates that will remain low for a long time to come, it said. Investors picked up stocks again out of concern that they would miss something, said a market watcher. Without real disruptive factors, the optimism could not be stopped for the time being.
