Market overview 2024-01-21

The U.S. stock market was mixed in Tuesday's trading, which resulted in a small rise in the broad S&P 500 and Nasdaq indices led primarily by the news from China about a possible new batch of support for the Chinese market; and of a possible return of D. Ma to Alibaba, which would no doubt reflect well on the shares of this major player, and a weak negative close for the Dow Jones blue chip index, which was more focused on U.S. domestic economic data and geopolitical risk. Corporate news continues to shape the sentiment of participants, especially now - when the "whales" come to the forefront of reports. Their results will determine market movements.
