US-Börsen: Dow Jones notiert unverändert – Boeing-Aktie verliert zweistellig

The excitement surrounding Anthropic's planned stock market debut wanes slightly on Tuesday. The US stock markets show mixed performance. The Dow Jones Industrial Average, tracking blue-chip stocks, remains nearly unchanged at 52,395 points. The S&P 500, a broader index, gains 0.7% to 7,728 in trading. The Nasdaq, a technology-focused index, sees a 1.3% rise, closing at 26,508. The Nasdaq 100, comprising the 100 largest non-financial companies by market capitalization, gains 1.2% to 29,618.

Investors are closely watching upcoming corporate earnings, the Federal Reserve's upcoming interest rate decision and tensions in the Middle East. The Federal Reserve convenes on Wednesday to decide on interest rates, while the European Central Bank meets on Thursday. Market participants expect interest rate changes from both central banks, but the words of monetary authorities are closely monitored.

Daniela Hathorn, market analyst at capital.com, notes that markets have been particularly sensitive to the possibility that higher energy prices and ongoing inflation might force the central banks to maintain a restrictive monetary policy.

For stocks, the distinction is increasingly important between higher returns stemming from economic resilience or from inflation and fiscal concerns. Hathorn says the former can bolster corporate profits, while the latter may continue to put pressure on valuations. The earnings season continues on Tuesday, with companies like PayPal, Coca-Cola and UPS reporting their results. UPS shares rise about 1% at market open. Coca-Cola remains unchanged, having raised its full-year revenue guidance earlier.
