On the 7th, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell by more than $ 200 due to concerns that the economic recovery would slow down due to the spread of the mutant virus "Delta".

The closing price of the Dow Jones Industrial Average on the 7th, which was a deal after the holidays because the day before was a holiday, was just $ 35,100, which is $ 269.09 lower than last weekend.



With the spread of the highly infectious mutant virus "Delta strain" in the United States, there was growing concern that the economic recovery would slow down, and many stocks were ordered to sell.



Meanwhile, the Nasdaq stock index, which has many IT-related stocks, rose to a record high for the fourth consecutive business day.



"Many investors were worried about the negative impact of the spread of Delta stocks on the economy, partly because a major investment bank lowered its outlook for economic growth in the United States," said a market source.
