Dow Jones, S&P 500, Nasdaq: Wall Street im Minus – McDonald’s-Aktie unter Druck
Steigende Ölpreise belasten erneut die Stimmung an den US-Börsen. Der Blick der Anleger richtet sich zudem weiterhin besonders auf geopolitische Entwicklungen.
Investors paused their activity at Wall Street mid-week as major US indices experienced losses on trading days. The Dow Jones Industrial Average, composed of leading stocks, fell by 0.3 percent to 51,688 points. The broad-based S&P 500 dropped 0.5 percent to 7,725 points. The technology-heavy Nasdaq saw a decline of nearly one percent to 26,970 points.
The Nasdaq 100, tracking the 100 largest non-financial companies by market capitalization, also fell by around one percent to 30,420 points. The Nasdaq Index reached a new record high for the second consecutive day. However, tensions over the Iran war and rising oil prices cast a shadow over the market sentiment on Wednesday. While initial concerns were eased after Saudi Arabia resumed operations on its East-West pipeline to the Red Sea, Brent crude oil, used for November delivery, ended a five-day losing streak.
Brent oil price increased by just under two percent, pushing it above the $100 mark per barrel. Concerns over escalating diesel prices led the US government to consider a fuel export ban. President Donald Trump mentioned the possibility of such a measure during his remarks at the UN General Assembly in New York on Tuesday, emphasizing his long-time support for the action.
