In the early stages, risk aversion sales preceded, the virus of the variant spread in the UK, British Prime Minister Johnson announced lockdown again in some areas, the UK EU trade negotiations are coming to a close, the position adjustment of Christmas week The atmosphere was anaerobic, and the atmosphere was “Is it finally a rough Christmas with the incorporation of Tesla stock SP?”, But after the sales cycle, the buyback came in favor of the economic measures agreed on the scale of 900 billion dollars. I did. However, the S & P 500 and Nasdaq have closed due to a decline from last weekend, and the chart shape needs attention.
