Börse Express – New York shares Close: S&P 500 with the weakest first half of the year since 1970

NEW YORK (dpa-AFX) – The US stock exchanges clearly contained their significant losses from early trading on Thursday. In view of economic and inflation fears, however, the price losses for the first half of the year were higher than they had been for decades – for the broader S&P 500
it was the weakest development in the first six months since 1970.

At the end of trading, the leading index Dow Jones Industrial recorded
on Thursday a daily minus of 0.82 percent to 30,775.43 points. The S&P 500 pared its loss to 0.88 percent at 3785.38 points, while the tech-heavy pick index Nasdaq 100 ultimately fell by 1.33 percent to 11,503.72 points. For the first half of the year, the three stock market barometers posted substantial discounts of 15, 21 and 30 percent./gl/men
