Dow Jones Industrial Average Jumps to New Record High

Friday saw a significant change in stock prices for notable organizations that were able to establish equilibrium in their prices once again. Bank of America (NYSE: BAC) recorded a jump in prices by 3.3% whereas Royal Caribbean and Wynn Resorts closed a record high of 3.6 % and 2.2 % worth of financial gain.

General Motors Company (NYSE: GM) shares also documented a substantial rise in prices by 4.8%. According to Wedbush, the stock of general motors was worthy of investment as investors have realized the promising potential of the tech and electric vehicle sector.

Big Tech Stocks’s financial gains were capped this week considering the decision of Biden signing an executive order that highlights the competitive practices by sector giants. Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ: AMZN) also noted a fall in prices with 0.3%.

The losses incurred on Dow Jones on Thursday have been regarded as due to Covid making a comeback again with a new delta variant. It can also be partly due to the decision of the Olympics banning their spectators due to rising covid concerns in Tokyo. These two conditions have added enough fuel for the economic index to register a steep fall in market evaluation.

Furthermore, the latest report on jobless claims released on Thursday has hinted at a potential slow down that can hit the labor sector this year.
