new York The risk of a Russian invasion of Ukraine continues to concern the markets. Wall Street closed with losses, the indices in Asia benefited from slight signs of relaxation in the course of trading.
The German stock market is also slightly up at the start of trading. The Dax thus confirms its volatile trading without a clear direction over the course of this week. On Thursday, the leading index slipped into the red in the afternoon.
The increased risk of war in the Ukraine is the dominant topic on the stock exchange floor, along with the upcoming turnaround in interest rates in the USA. US President Joe Biden again on Thursday classified an invasion of Ukraine by Russian forces as very likely.
After the close of trading on Wall Street, however, there were new signs of relaxation: US Secretary of State Antony Blinken accepted an invitation to a meeting with his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov. The meeting is scheduled to take place late next week.
