New York.– Wall Street opened this Monday in mixed terrain and the Dow Jones Industrials, its main indicator, fell 0.23% in the last day of a very volatile month.
Twenty-five minutes after the start of operations on the New York Stock Exchange, the Dow Jones subtracted 79.82 points, up to 34,645.65 units, while the selective S&P 500 advanced 0.25% or 11.23 integers, up to 4.43 .08 points.
For its part, the composite index of the Nasdaq market, in which the most important technology companies are listed, increased by 1.21% or 167.17 units, standing at 13,937.74 integers.
Despite closing last week with profits, the New York stock market seems doomed to seal January on a bad note and accumulated losses reminiscent of those at the start of the pandemic or even the financial crisis.
The Nasdaq index is the one that comes out worst – it has cut 15% of value in the month and is in correction territory, while the S&P 500 subtracts an accumulated 7% and the Dow Jones 4.4%. The 10-year Treasury bond yield rose to 1.802% earlier today.
Most corporate sectors operated in the green, led by non-essential goods (1.46%) and technology (0.65%), and the most affected were financial (-1.01%) and energy (-0.89%).
Among the 30 values of the Dow Jones, which operated in the red, the most notable falls were for Caterpillar (-2.79%), Dow Inc (-1.88%) and Visa (-1.82%).
The biggest gains were for Boeing (1.33%), Salesforce (1.27%) and Walt Disney (1.16%). In other markets, Texas oil rose to $87.20 a barrel, gold fell to $1,800 an ounce and the dollar was weakened against the euro, with an exchange rate of 1.1189.
