Earlier, the New York Stock Exchange, which closed on the morning of the 6th Korean time, showed mixed results across its indices. The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at 54,349.00, up 263.12 points (0.49%) from the previous trading day, with an intraday high of 54,744.33 and a low of 54,266.12. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 index closed at 7,723.42, down 13.10 points (0.17%), and the Nasdaq Composite closed at 26,363.44, down 221.55 points (0.83%).

Although the Dow index rose, technology and small- to mid-cap stocks showed weakness, leading to mixed investment sentiment toward risk assets. The domestic stock market is widening its losses as foreign and institutional selling overlaps with the mixed trend in the New York market.

As domestic stock market trading is currently in progress, the index and supply-demand figures may change before the market closes.
