NEW YORK (awp international) – The apparently growing insight of still-US President Donald Trump into his election defeat brought the Dow Jones Industrial a record high on Tuesday. In the first hour of trading, the best-known American share index rose to 29,982 points – most recently an increase of 1.28 percent to 29,971.39 points was recorded. The much-noticed mark of 30,000 points is now within reach. The market-wide S&P 500 gained 0.91 percent to 3610.31 points. In contrast, the Nasdaq 100 technology stocks index, which had already been flagging the day before, recorded only a price increase of 0.17 percent to 11,926.28 points.
The transition between incumbent Trump’s administration and President-elect Joe Biden begins. Trump announced on Twitter that he had instructed the authorities and his employees to cooperate with Biden. Shortly beforehand, the responsible authority had classified GSA Biden as the obvious winner. With that I mark the end of a week-long game of hanging over the leadership of the United States./gl/la
