NEW YORK (dpa-AFX) – The Dow Jones Industrial started trading on Friday with profits. With a plus of 0.28 percent to 31,581.70 points, it continued its recovery, which began the day before in the course of trading. With the friendly start, the New York benchmark index remained within reach of its record high of just under 31,644 points, which it had reached in the middle of the week. He is currently heading for a weekly plus of 0.4 percent.
On the last day of trading of the week, the recent discussion about a return in inflation lost some of its momentum. The recently dominant concerns about a significant rise in interest rates and the associated price losses on the stock market faded into the background after the situation on the bond market had recently eased. Instead, familiar topics such as the corona situation or company news came back into focus.
Against this background, the other New York indices also gained a bit on Friday, so that they too stayed in touch with their latest records. The market-wide S&P 500 rose 0.30 percent to 3925.68 points, while the technology-heavy Nasdaq 100 rose 0.29 percent to 13,676.41 points./tih/he
