NEW YORK (dpa-AFX) – Russia’s attack on Ukraine kept US stock markets on their downward slide on Thursday. The Dow Jones Industrial (Dow Jones 30 Industrial) fell after half an hour of trading by 2.31 percent to 32,367.93 points. He is heading for the sixth day of losses in a row. Within a week he had already lost more than 7 percent because of the conflict, which was now also being led by the military. The price gains he had made since March 2021 have now evaporated.
Global stock markets plummeted Thursday after Russia launched an invasion. There was a slump in Europe in particular. The Dow and its US index colleagues had already lost feathers the day before, so that the losses here on Thursday were somewhat milder than in Europe. The broader S&P 500 fell 1.90 percent to 4,145.34 points, while the tech-heavy NASDAQ 100 fell 1.66 percent to 13,285.53 points.
Attacks from different directions were reported by several sides, including Ukraine itself and NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg. “The Russian invasion of Ukraine is a serious geopolitical crisis with far-reaching implications,” said Bank Berenberg analyst Kallum Pickering. It will hurt near-term economic performance, particularly in Europe, and give global investors an additional impetus to reduce their risk exposure./tih/he
