New York stocks: losses – tech indices slide into the red after record highs

NEW YORK (dpa-AFX) – At the start of a week full of company reports, investors on Wall Street last shied away from risks on Monday. The standard values ​​in particular came under pressure. The two most important technology indices had performed strongly in early trading and reached record highs before turning negative.

The leading index Dow Jones Industrial recently fell 1.16 percent to 30,638.21 points. With the S&P 500 it was 0.75 percent to 3812.75 points down. The corona crisis, which remains like a sword of Damocles over the stock markets, continues to dampen sentiment.
