NEW YORK (dpa-AFX) – Despite the still completely unclear outcome of the US presidential election, the US stock markets continued their clear recovery course on Wednesday. In the run-up to this, the Brsians had feared the scenario of a hanging game with a dragging election result and possible legal challenges. The list of winners was topped by stocks from the health and communications sectors.
The Dow Jones Industrial (Dow Jones 30 Industrial) rose above the 28,000 mark in early trading. In late business, however, it fell noticeably and closed with a plus of 1.34 percent at 27,847.66 points. The Dow plus this week now adds up to around 5 percent, which means that the leading index has already largely made up for its 6.5 percent loss from the previous week.
The market-wide S&P 500 gained 2.20 percent on Wednesday to 3443.44 points. The NASDAQ 100 benefited from clear price increases of some technology heavyweights and advanced by 4.41 percent to 11,777.02 points./edh/he
