The Stock Market was up this week.. Let’s take a look at some of the top news of the week first. Stocks in the United States stayed higher on Thursday, adding to their gains from the previous two days. By Thursday 4 PM, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.1 percent. The S&P 500 gained 0.2 percent, while the Nasdaq Composite gained 0.4 percent… In addition, the coronavirus Delta strain is unlikely to disrupt the US economy. That doesn't rule out the possibility of it causing damage to some areas. For a time, America appeared to be making significant success against the Covid-19 pandemic. Other than this Inflation is causing CEOs of household-staples businesses like Unilever UL -0.19 percent as much grief as it is causing shoppers. Where and what they sell determines their capacity to pass on price rises.
