[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Ga-yeon] As protests against the death of George Floyd spread in the United States and concerns about violent protests grew, New York City decided to implement a nighttime curfew.
On the 1st (local time), New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo and New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio announced the implementation of a nighttime curfew. The curfew hours are from 11 PM to 5 AM the following day.
Amid tense domestic conditions in the U.S. and ongoing concerns about trade conflicts with China, the New York Stock Exchange closed higher, driven more by expectations of economic recovery. The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at 25,475.02, up 91.91 points (0.36%) from the previous session. The S&P 500 index rose 11.42 points (0.38%) to 3,055.73, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq closed up 62.18 points (0.66%) at 9,552.05.
