Practically fifty years upfront, the Dow is caught in nine-day shedding contact as soon as extra. To take an extra trace from the Billboards graph, all financiers want for Xmas is the Dow to stop hemorrhaging purple.
That claimed, it is not a big damage for the 30-stock index, whatever the terrifying numbers.
Outside the Dow, the stock market is still cheery. Despite the S&P and the Nasdaq also slipping in their last trading session, both indexes are hovering near their record closes. This suggests that it’s mostly the Dow constituents â “old-economy” stocks like industrials, financials and consumer discretionary â that are flailing.
“Wall Street is waking up to the fact that a Trump presidency might not be as great for stocks as some people hoped,” said David Russell, global head of market strategy at TradeStation. “Financials and industrials jumped on his win but now may have to face higher rates and trade uncertainties, and healthcare faces its greatest political risks in recent memory.”
Moreover, the losses for the Dow might be consecutive, but the incline isn’t that steep. The index is just 3.6% off its record high, and its 50-day moving average is still trending upward.
Though it’s not as if the stock market is giving investors money for nothing, we still aren’t quite in dire straits.
