Dow Jones, S&P 500, Nasdaq: Wall Street starts barely changed - waiting for Xi-Trump meeting
Geopolitics remains in focus for investors. There is initially little movement on the US stock exchanges. Upcoming speeches at the UN General Debate and a meeting with the US President could change that.
US stock indexes show little movement on Wednesday, with Dow Jones remaining unchanged at 51,778 points, S&P 500 steady at 7,750, and Nasdaq down 0.3% to 27,155. Oil prices rise 2.3% to over $100 per barrel, driven by uncertainties in the Iran conflict and increasing tensions. US President Donald Trump considers an export ban on diesel fuel in response to rising prices. The UN General Assembly continues in New York, with Iranian President Massud Peseschkian and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky set to speak.
