US-Börsen: Auch Wall Street vor neuen Rekorden – Amazon reißt nächste Billionen-Marke
Der Rückgang der Ölpreise treibt Anleger wieder in Aktien und Anleihen. Die Leitindizes Dow Jones und S&P 500 liegen am Montag nur knapp unter ihren Bestmarken.
US investors reacted with relief to signs of progress in the Iran war, allowing Wall Street to inch closer to new records. Despite Iran denying negotiations with the US, stock prices on Wall Street climbed towards records on Monday. President Donald Trump had temporarily halted a planned military attack on Iranian targets. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 1 percent to 53,150 points, just below its previous record of 53,300.
The S&P 500 index increased by 1.5 percent to 7,604 points, needing only 19 points to set a new record. The tech-focused Nasdaq index rose 1.9 percent, and the narrower Nasdaq 100 index increased by 1.8 percent. While these tech-heavy indexes are still far from their record levels due to recent weakness in chip stocks, Trump's statement about postponing a military attack until new negotiations with Iran could begin further pressured energy commodity prices.
Brent crude oil for October delivery fell over 4 percent, while WTI crude oil for October delivery dropped 4 percent, and for September even 6 percent.
