Stock prices fell sharply on the New York stock market on the 22nd as the Biden administration reportedly planned to raise taxes on gains on the sale of stocks.
The closing price of the Dow Jones Industrial Average on the 22nd was $ 33,815,90, down $ 321.41 from the previous day.
The US media said that the Byden administration plans to raise the tax rate of "capital gains tax" on gains on the sale of stocks to 39.6%, which is almost double the current rate, as part of the strengthening of taxation on the wealthy. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell by more than $ 400 at one point.
In addition, the Nasdaq stock index, which has many IT-related stocks, also fell.
