US-Börsen: US-Börsen erholen sich – steht der nächste Absturz bereits bevor?

Investors started the new trading week with positive sentiments. The US elections, which hinge on relevant issues for investors, drove the week's activity. The Dow Jones, comprising blue-chip stocks, gained 1.0 percent to reach 52,309 points. The broader S&P 500 rose 0.6 percent to 7,622 points. The tech-heavy Nasdaq closed at 25,658 points, up 0.8 percent.

The Nasdaq 100, representing the 100 largest non-financial companies by market capitalization, rose 0.4 percent to 28,509 points. On Friday, Wall Street investors sold heavily. Particularly the tech-heavy Nasdaq suffered a significant loss. Disappointing quarterly results from several tech giants sparked the wave. October was the worst month for the Nasdaq since 1.5 years, with a total loss of 5.3 percent.

The Philly Semiconductor Index fell 15.3 percent, driven by a correction in Intel's forecast. Analyst Daniela Hathorn of capital.com said, "Investors remain ready to buy dips, but confidence in the technology sector is fragile after a weak October." The focus now lies on upcoming tech results. After the bell on Friday, Apple released its quarterly earnings.

Apple had dethroned Nvidia, its rival in the race to become the most valuable listed company, on Friday. The tech giant's stock had risen about a quarter since June. This translates to roughly a billion dollars in market value. "Apple's earnings are particularly noteworthy, as the company is relatively insulated from the massive expansion of AI infrastructure," said Hathorn.
