The beginning of winter was marked by new record-highs of stock indices thanks to resumed negotiations about fiscal incentives that leveled out negative moods from weak macroeconomic data. On Friday, 04 December, all three key indices in the US – the S&P 500 Index, the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the NASDAQ Composite Index – set new historical record-highs. The last time they set record-highs on the same day was back in 2018. The news about the UK approving the COVID-19 vaccine made by Pfizer’s / BioNTech for use supported optimistic moods among investors.
