Indices in the USA started the day with an increase. The registration of the victory of Joe Biden in the elections was reflected in the indices as a rise. In the USA, after the election results became official on behalf of Democrat Joe Biden, indices were opened in the country with a rise. At the opening of the day, the Dow Jones index increased 0.48 percent and was traded at 30,977.12 points. While the S&P 500 index increased 0.89 percent to 3,781.40 points, the Nasdaq index increased by 1.42 percent to 12,922.07 points. Indices started to act positively after the election results were officially registered in favor of Democrat Joe Biden at the Congress session, where the votes of the Electoral Council determined in the presidential elections held in the USA on November 3, 2020 were counted. Congress, which was reunited after the Congress building was raided in the USA yesterday and continues to count delegate votes, officially acknowledged that the new president is Democrat Joe Biden. On the other hand, the unofficial results of the Democratic candidates winning the second round of Senate elections in the state of Georgia and the Democrat control of both the House of Representatives and the Senate raised concerns about new tax regulations, but on the other hand, expectations for a new support package to ensure economic recovery were strengthened. In addition, according to the data announced today in the USA, the number of people applying for unemployment benefits for the first time in the country was 787 thousand in the week ending January 2.
