Wall Street: Nasdaq rises, Dow Jones weak - highlight of the week: US inflation data

According to a report by finanzmarktwelt.de, there is an inconsistent picture on Wall Street. While the Nasdaq, particularly Big Tech, is rising, the Dow Jones is posting significant losses, largely due to weak Boeing stock. The low-news environment is driving the Nasdaq rally primarily through Nvidia and Apple, while the Dow Jones is under pressure.

A video points out that increased Fed interest rates could trigger a wave of bankruptcies among US companies. It also points out that Russia is fanning the flames of energy problems in Europe.

These developments could have far-reaching effects on the market and the financial industry. The increased Fed interest rates could actually lead to a wave of bankruptcies among US companies, which in turn could put a strain on the overall economy. The situation in Russia could also lead to an increase in energy prices in Europe, which could severely affect both consumers and businesses.

US inflation data on Thursday is expected to be a highlight and litmus test for the current rally on Wall Street. There is also a risk that the Gaza war could escalate into a “real war” between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon, which could bring geopolitical uncertainties and associated impacts on markets and the financial sector.
