The Dow Jones ended virtually unchanged and the Nasdaq rose 0.35%. The number of unemployment claims last week stood at 375,000, just as expected. It was also announced that producer prices (PPI) rose by 0.9% last month, while an increase of only 0.5% was forecast. The sharp rise in producer prices calls into question the idea from earlier this week that the worst inflation is behind us.Investors' attention was also briefly focused on a number of interesting companies that came up with figures.

Shares of Airbnb, however, fell by 4.48% after-hours , after the company warned of uncertain results during its quarterly report due to the delta variant of the corona virus.
