Current situation on the US stock market: Dow Jones up, Nasdaq down - Great expectations for the Fed's interest rate decision.

According to a report by www.boerse.de, the Dow Jones Industrial promises another record hunt with an increase of a good two percent for the end of January, while the Nasdaq 100 is expected to record a loss of 0.9 percent. This mixed price development is mainly weighed down by negative figures from Alphabet and missed targets from AMD. In contrast, Microsoft posted a better performance, although it failed to excite investors given the company's already record-high valuations. In addition, positive company news such as Walmart's announced stock split led to rising prices. Overall, the mood on the stock market is divided, with developments in tech companies and retail chains having a significant influence on price developments.

This highlights the ongoing volatility and uncertainty in the markets, particularly in the technology sector, which is subject to strong fluctuations due to developments at tech giants such as Alphabet, AMD and Microsoft. The increased negative news and missed forecasts have led to a downward trend in this sector, while positive corporate news such as Walmart's stock split has generated a positive reaction. This development reflects the markets' high sensitivity to company news and economic indicators.

Byron Allen's proposed acquisition of Paramount Global could also have an impact on the industry as it signals major shifts and restructuring in the media and entertainment sector. Overall, market volatility is expected to continue for the time being, particularly in the technology sector, while positive corporate news and unexpected acquisitions could continue to cause price swings.
