Dow Jones-after the longest winning series of the S&P-500 for over 20 years, investors are tilted to take profits on Monday. Because the recently positive headlines in the trade dispute are now largely priced in, it says in the trade. This applies all the more because US President Donald Trump and his advisors, according to a leading government employee, were less concerned than before the situation of the economy. This assessment could encourage the Trump administration to form a more researcher appearance in the customs dispute, so warning voices on the market. In the very early shop, the Dow-Jones index drops 0.4 percent to 41,153 points, S&P-500 and Nasdaq composite fall by 0.7 percent each.
In the trade, reference is also made to the two-day and starting session of the US Federal Reserve on Tuesday, which initially brakes the buying mood. In the middle of the week, the Fed interest decision is then expected – anything but confirming the interest rate level is likely to be seen as a surprise on the market. The admissions of US Federal Reserve Governor Jerome Powell are likely to be more exciting. Because US President Trump had recently spoken out for interest cuts several times. In the meantime, he had even underpinned his demands with threats to dismiss Powell. Then Trump was thrown back. However, investors are excited to see whether and, if necessary, how Powell will react to the Trump demands. “Our US economists expect the FED to keep interest rates stable and avoid an explicitly future-oriented orientation,” explains analyst Peter Sidorov from Deutsche Bank.
Not much is happening on the pension market, the yield of ten years of US state bonds remains at 4.32 percent. Traders await the next impulse on Wednesday with the statements of Powell. The dollar builds its losses from the week of the week, the dollar index lost another 0.5 percent. According to Swissquote, the Fed should at least show the possibility of interest rate cuts in the coming months.
Oil prices are falling vigorously by up to 2 percent because the group opec+ extends the funding – despite the cloudy economic prospects. The gold price, however, rises generously by 2.3 percent – supported by the weakness of the dollar. As at the foreign exchange market, investors apparently also speculated on a deaf fed with gold, it is said.
Trump sends media values south
Netflix decreases by 4.2 percent. Other entertainment titles from the media industry are also very weak. Trump plans tariffs of 100 percent for foreign film productions. Walt Disney lose 1.9 percent.
Investor legend Warren Buffett takes off and passes the management of his investment company Berkshire Hathaway to his successor and Vice-Chairman Greg Abel. This should take over CEO posts in 2026. Chairman wants to stay Buffett at first. The B shares lose 4.7 percent.
Higher research and development costs gave Biontech a higher loss in the first quarter than in the previous year. The Mainz biotechnology company confirmed its outlook for the year as a whole, the titles are 0.6 percent lower. Tyson Foods emit 4.9 percent, the meat producer disappointed in the second quarter with sales.
