Weak European stock markets, good Wall Street

2020-09-30T16:02:47.019Z

A nervous session for the European stock exchanges, which changed sign several times and then closed in negative territory: Milan lost 0.24% while London, Frankfurt and Paris lost half a point. All the spotlight today was on the United States after the heated TV duel between Trump and Biden. The second quarter GDP came from the US, the worst since the end of the Second World War (-31.4%), but slightly better than the previous estimate (-31.7%). But what pushed Wall Street was the data on the sale of houses in August and the creation of jobs (749,000). The Dow Jones marks a one and a half point rise and the Nasdaq one point. Gold, a safe haven asset par excellence - in the face of the new wave of infections worldwide - raises its head: the value of the ounce touches again $ 1,900.
