“Here we go!”

No one knew who yelled this. In the trading hall of Nauritus City, everyone suddenly felt their passion subside in an instant.

This was like facing an important exam. All kinds of tension and anxiety from before were gone the moment they sat down in the examination room to face this exam. Everyone had a serious expression as they dealt with their own affairs meticulously and attentively. On the trading floor, no one in the team of dozens of people was chatting. What was left was the sound of clicking coming from the countless keyboards and mice.

Soon, the intelligence collector was the first to speak and break the silence.

“The Dow Jones Stock Index opened at 7429 points, and opening trading volume continues to increase.”

“The leading rising sector is Internet, energy, and aerospace. Meanwhile the leading falling sector is banking, building materials, real estate, and shipbuilding.”

“One minute after the opening, the Dow Jones stock index fell 9 points and is currently at 7420 points.”

Based on the information gathered by the intelligence collector, the analyst summed up the current situation immediately.

“The rising sectors are basically high-tech industries, while the heavy industries continue to fall, indicating a lack of market confidence.”

“If there is no external intervention, the decline will continue but will not be too big.”
