Dow Jones, S&P 500, Nasdaq: Bessent bewegt US-Börsen nicht – Zuversicht vor Nvidia-Zahlen
Die Worte des US-Finanzministers verhallen an der Wall Street weitgehend, einzig der Ölpreis fällt deutlich. Die Aufmerksamkeit der Anleger liegt an anderer Stelle.
The US stock markets showed little reaction to remarks made by US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent regarding Iran. Instead, focus remained on technology stocks. The Dow Jones Industrial Average remained slightly higher at 53,510 points, while the S&P 500 gained 0.4% to reach 7,684 points. The Nasdaq, heavily weighted towards technology, saw a 0.7% increase to 26,165 points.
The Nasdaq 100, comprising the 100 largest non-financial companies, also rose by 0.8% to 29,245 points. Bessent's announcement of new Iran sanctions remained vague, with no significant impact on stock or commodity markets. Oil prices continued to fall, with Brent crude for October delivery down 3.5% to $88.80 per barrel, and US WTI for October down 3% to $82.40 per barrel.
However, Nvidia's upcoming earnings announcement was drawing attention, as it could provide a significant boost to the AI boom globally. Despite some losses in the chip industry, Nvidia, Micron, and Broadcom showed gains. Analyst Kathleen Brooks noted that the sentiment shift was fueled by falling oil prices, with investors hoping Nvidia's figures would spur the AI trade.
Stocks related to sporting goods, like Dick's Sporting Goods, fell by over 20%, while Nike and Under Armour each dropped 4% and 3% respectively. Moderna, which announced breakthroughs in cancer drugs last week, doubled in value, with its stock fluctuating significantly, gaining nearly 10% by Tuesday.
