Equities New York: Dow builds on the recovery from the previous day

NEW YORK (dpa-AFX) – On Thursday, the US stock markets continued the gains of the previous day. The Dow Jones Industrial (Dow Jones 30 Industrial) rose 1.08 percent to 32,467 points in early trade. The leading index could now leave the downward trend that began in April behind. According to stockbrokers, as on the previous day, the fact that the minutes of the US Federal Reserve gave no indication of even more aggressive steps to combat high inflation in the USA has a supportive effect.

The market-wide S&P 500 went up 0.90 percent to 4014 points. The technology-heavy NASDAQ 100 rose by 0.76 percent to 12,035 points./bek/he
