NEW YORK (dpa-AFX) – Wall Street took a break on Tuesday in the latest record hunt. The most important indices closed slightly in the red. Overall, the mood on the stock market remains quite good after US Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell recently reassured investors. According to Powell, the Fed is likely to reduce its bond purchases to support the economy, but not yet raise interest rates. The record-low interest rates are one of the drivers of the long-term stock market rally.

From a technical chart point of view, the Dow is currently still having trouble finding buyers above its most recent interim highs, wrote the expert Andreas Büchler from Index Radar. But if demand picks up again, the uptrend channel could be exhausted.
