UN General Assembly and economic data influence stock market sentiment

Statements by US President Donald Trump in a speech to the 81st General Assembly of the United Nations (UN) are clouding the mood on the stock markets. Investors' hopes that the war in Iran would soon end had previously pushed the German leading index up by almost one percent. On Wall Street, the Dow Jones index fell slightly. The AI ​​euphoria, on the other hand, drove the US technology exchange Nasdaq to a record high for the second day in a row.

On Wednesday, investors will continue to look at developments in geopolitics, the economy and the technology industry. The general debate at the UN General Assembly is entering its second day. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) presents its updated economic outlook. The focus of the economic data is on the purchasing managers' indices for the euro zone and the USA in September.
