Dow Jones Industrial Average

Asian and European markets are in turmoil after another significant drop in American stocks. The main US index, the Dow Jones Industrial Average suffered its second 1,000-point loss this week, triggering a worldwide sell-off.

China's Shanghai Composite index closed over 4 percent down, Hong Kong's Hang Seng dipped over 3 percent, and Japanese Nikkei closed over 2 percent lower.

During Thursday's trade, the DJIA Blue Chip Index rose for the first time in history over the 25,000-point psychological barrier, while the other major stock indices marked new record highs as Wall Street investors welcomed the solid a report by the ADP agency on employment in the US private sector in December, the BNR reported.

The Dow topped 22,000 points for the first time in opening trading on Aug. 2, bolstered by a six percent gain in Apple, the latest blue-chip company to report strong earnings.

About three minutes into trading, the Dow Jones Industrial Average stood at 22,011.48, up 0.2 percent and on track for its sixth-straight record close, as reported by AFP.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average finished above 20,000 for the first time, marking yet another milestone in the stock market’s post-election hike.
