Dow Jones, S&P 500, Nasdaq: Wall Street im Minus – hohe Verluste bei Einzelwerten
Erneut rutschen die wichtigsten US-Börsenindizes ab. An der Wall Street befeuert der Anstieg der Erzeugerpreise im August Spekulationen auf eine baldige Zinserhöhung durch die Fed.
After three consecutive days of losses, Wall Street showed no sign of a trend reversal on Thursday. Data released on Thursday about August producer prices weighed on market sentiment on Wall Street. The US Standard Stock Index Dow Jones fell around 0.5 percent to 52,125 points. The broader S&P 500 shed around 0.6 percent to 7,586 points.
The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite fell 0.4 percent to 26,139. The Nasdaq 100, which reflects the 100 non-financial companies with the highest market capitalization, fell around 0.7 percent to 29,209 points. Oil prices continued to rise despite the unchanged situation in the Persian Gulf. Brent crude oil for November delivery briefly surpassed the 107 dollar mark per barrel.
The trigger: A commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards declared that Tehran was ready for "blitz offensives" for national defense. This marked the annual high for Brent oil in April, but it was still far from the recent 126 dollar level. The price for the US October delivery of WTI oil rose significantly, touching more than 100 dollars per barrel for the first time since May.
However, the price briefly fell back under the 100-dollar mark in the afternoon, only to recover again by 4.5 percent in the early evening.
