NEW YORK (dpa-AFX) – The apparently growing insight from the still-US President Donald Trump in its election defeat brought the Dow Jones Industrial (Dow Jones 30 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 technology stocks index NASDAQ 100, which was already weak the day before, only recorded a price increase of 0.17 percent to 11,926.28 points.
The transition between incumbent Trump’s administration and elected US President Joe Biden begins. Trump announced on Twitter that he had instructed the authorities and his employees to cooperate with Biden. Shortly before, the responsible authority GSA had classified Biden as the obvious election winner. This marks the end of a week-long game of hanging over the leadership of the United States./gl/la
