NEW YORK (dpa-AFX) – On Monday, the standard and technology stocks ran in different directions on the New York stock market. The tech indices shone again with records. At the end of the day, the Nasdaq 100 gained 0.54 percent to 12,596.47 points.
With the start of trading, the leading index Dow Jones Industrial also increased a bit on the record it had reached on Friday with the closing price, but then immediately turned into the red and slipped again briefly below the round mark of 30,000 points. It closed with minus 0.49 percent to 30 069.79 points. The market-wide S&P 500 fell 0.19 percent to 3691.96 points.
Fear of further lockdown measures due to rising corona infections held investors back in part. They are all the more waiting for the parties to agree on a new stimulus package as soon as possible. Above all, the extended Thanksgiving weekend at the end of November apparently caused the corona infections in the USA to rise significantly again./ajx/men
