The New York Stock Exchange on the 23rd saw an increase in sell orders due to concerns about the situation in Ukraine, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average temporarily dropped by more than $ 500.
The New York stock market on the 23rd said that tensions are rising, as a buy order was placed immediately after the start of the transaction, but a senior U.S. Department of Defense official said that Russia's military invasion of Ukraine could start at any time. As a result, concerns about the future increased, and sell orders increased.
As a result, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell sharply by more than $ 500 at one point, and the closing price was the lowest at 33,131.76 cents, which was 464.85 cents lower than the previous day.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average has fallen for five consecutive business days, with a drop of more than $ 1800 in five days.
The Nasdaq stock index, which has many IT-related stocks, also fell sharply by 2.5%, the lowest price of the year.
Market officials said, "While some people are skeptical about the effects of sanctions on Russia by Western countries, it was reported that official websites such as Ukrainian government agencies were hit by cyber attacks, so avoid risks for the time being. Many investors have placed sell orders, and whether the stock price will continue to fall will depend on the situation in Ukraine. "
