US stock exchanges: Wall Street turns positive - and defies negative signs
While Bitcoin and gold are gaining interest from investors, the dollar is increasingly losing it. For this to change, the stock exchanges need a signal.
US stock market indexes have ended the week on a positive note, with the Dow-Jones Index up 0.8% to 53,168 points, the S&P 500 up 0.5% to 7,681 points, and the Nasdaq up 0.5% to 26,200 points. The yield on 30-year US Treasury bonds has risen to 5.25%, its highest level since 25 years, amid concerns over inflation and US debt, which has surpassed $40 trillion.
Oil prices have also increased, with Brent crude up over 5% to $93 per barrel, due to tensions in the Middle East and the blockage of the Strait of Hormus. Meanwhile, Bitcoin and gold have gained value, with Bitcoin rising to nearly $78,000 and gold trading at around $4,560 per ounce.
