NEW YORK (dpa-AFX) – Wall Street is threatened by the US President on Friday in view of the corona infection Donald Trump significant losses. The labor market report for September showed surprisingly low job growth, which also depressed sentiment.
The broker IG valued the Dow Jones Industrial (Dow Jones 30 Industrial) before trading began 1.76 percent lower at 27,328 points. The weekly plus of the US leading index would thus shrink to a good half a percent.
With regard to Trump’s corona infection, a market watcher spoke of a “great shock”, which naturally reduces investors’ willingness to take risks. The American presidential election will take place in just over a month. Because of his quarantine, Trump is now missing election campaign events in three important contested US states, with Florida being especially important, added market strategist Stephen Innes from broker Axi.
Even positive company news had a hard time in the weakly expected market environment. After the recent recovery, Tesla stocks lost over five and a half percent before the market, although the electric car maker had reported surprisingly good sales figures for the third quarter.
The title of the ailing smaller Tesla competitor Nikola dropped by eight percent after the price jump from the previous day. Car giant General Motors (GM) ‘s considerations for a higher stake did not impress investors. GM shares lost just under three percent.
Walmart (Walmart) shares were 1.7 percent weaker with the market, despite the retail group having announced that it would sell a large part of its stake in grocer Asda in the UK to investors for £ 6.8 billion. However, Walmart expects a loss of $ 2.5 billion in connection with the sale in the coming year./gl/jha/
