US-Börsen: Hohe Ölpreise lasten auf Wall Street – Starke Nachfrage bremst Anstieg der US-Anleiherenditen
An den Märkten in den USA dominieren die Entwicklungen am Öl- und Anleihemarkt. Für die Aktienmärkte stehen wichtige Impulse in den kommenden Wochen an.
Wall Street investors are feeling pessimistic on Thursday, with major indexes mostly in the red. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.44 percent to 50,960, the S&P 500 dropped 0.4 percent to 7,770, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq slipped 0.6 percent to 27,366. The Nasdaq 100, representing 100 non-financial companies with the highest market capitalization, also lost 0.6 percent to 30,969. The stock market had largely remained unchanged on Wednesday.
The rise in oil prices on Thursday is causing concern, as higher oil prices can negatively impact US bond yields. Brent crude oil for December delivery and US oil WTI for November increased by 5.2 percent each, reaching $105.46 and $92.84 per barrel, respectively. Fears of supply disruptions due to the conflict in the Middle East and a potential hurricane affecting US offshore drilling rigs are driving up the notations.
Reports have also emerged of possible new US attacks on Iran, according to The Atlantic magazine, which cites two government officials. President Donald Trump's administration reportedly instructed the Pentagon to develop options for potential attacks on Iran before the November midterm elections, contradicting the widely held belief that Trump would avoid further escalation of the conflict.
