In the US NY stock market on the 4th, the Dow fell by $198 (0.59%) from the previous day, falling for the first time in five business hours. The Nasdaq closed softly at $63, or 0.52%.

The New York gold futures price rose again above the $2,000 level per 1 troy ounce. Due to the deterioration of the situation in Ukraine in August 2020, the price is approaching the all-time high of $2,070 in March 2022.
