The US stock market was mixed on the 2nd. The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at 44,782.00, down 128.65 points, and the Nasdaq closed at 19,403.95, up 185.78 points. This week, adjustments intensified ahead of the release of important economic indicators such as employment statistics. After the opening, the market was mixed. Concerns rose over the Dow facing a crisis of rising long-term interest rates, geopolitical risks in the Middle East, and the French cabinet potentially collapsing due to a vote of no confidence, leading to a soft trend throughout the day. The Nasdaq was supported by high tech and remained strong.
