Börse Express – New York shares Conclusion: Slight gains

NEW YORK (dpa-AFX) – The US stock exchanges started the weekend with slight price gains. However, the sharp increase in yields on the US bond market prevented larger price jumps. Ten-year US Treasuries hit their highest level in almost three years. They are now profitable at 2.5 percent. This can make companies’ refinancing costs more expensive and reduce profits. In addition, risky equity investments become less attractive when bonds that are considered safe offer higher yields.

Der Dow Jones Industrial , which had gained a good one percent the day before, closed 0.44 percent higher at 34,861.24 points. The impasse below the 35,000 point mark continued. On a weekly basis, the Dow posted a moderate plus. The market-wide S&P 500 Gained 0.51 percent to 4543.06 points on Friday, during the Nasdaq 100
fell by 0.08 percent to 14,754.31 points. He had gained a lot the day before./bek/jha/
