NEW YORK (dpa-AFX) – The New York stock exchanges are paying a little tribute to their rapid recovery since the beginning of the week on Thursday. The Dow Jones Industrial fell 0.34 percent to 35,633.44 points in early trading. For the current week, however, there is still a profit of three percent.
The tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 was on Thursday 0.35 percent in the red at 16,336.89 points. So far, the tech values barometer has even gained more than four percent this week. The market-wide S&P 500 lost 0.20 percent on Thursday to 4691.75 points.
The market said that investors still have their concerns about the economic risks posed by the new Corona variant Omikron due to the measures required to contain it. This curbs the recently noticeable optimism that infections are likely to be mild and that booster vaccinations are apparently effective. “There is still too much to learn about this variant to be able to draw firm conclusions,” said market observer Craig Erlam of broker Oanda.
