PARIS (Reuters) – The New York Stock Exchange opened on Wednesday after several tumultuous sessions while investors are waiting for the quarterly results of Nvidia and are concentrated on the tax reduction plan wanted by Donald Trump, as well as on the prospect of a peace agreement in Ukraine.

In the first exchanges, the Dow Jones index earns 33.57 points, or 0.08%, at 43,654.73 points. The Standard & Poor’s 500, larger, increased by 16.09 points, or 0.27%, to 5,971.34 points. The Nasdaq Composite takes 72.11 points, or 0.38%, to 19,098.50 points.

These last two indices recorded their highest decrease in four sessions on Tuesday since September, mainly sealed by technological values. TD COWEN analysts fear overcapacity in infrastructure for artificial intelligence (AI) after Microsoft has given up on to rent important data centers in the United States.

The market has also been on the alert since last week after a series of data that has rekindled the fear of stagnation by the US economy when the second estimate of the United States will be published on Thursday for the fourth quarter and Friday the monthly inflation index.

The recent weakness of American economic data, however, fosters the hope of a recovery of the monetary easing of the federal reserve in July, show figures compiled by LSEG. The interventions of Fed officials such as Thomas Barkin and Raphael Bostic, planned during the day, will be particularly scrutinized in this regard.

In the meantime, the market is cautiously returning to risky assets, while on the budgetary level, the tax and security reduction program at the border by President Donald Trump, an amount of $ 4.500 billion, will be sent to the Senate after being adopted on Tuesday evening by the House of Representatives.

The clues are also supported by the prospect of a peace agreement between Ukraine and Russia, Washington and Kyiv being agreed with the terms of a draft agreement on the exploitation of Ukrainian mineral resources.

On the business side, the NVIDIA action wins 3% while the flea specialist intended for AI must present his financial accounts in the evening, a month after the presentation of a low-cost AI model by the Chinese start-up Deepseek who had shaken the sector. Its competitors, Broadcom and Advanced Micro Devices took 2.19% and 0.68% respectively.

In the other sectors, General Motors increased by 5.75% after the manufacturer’s announcement by an increase of 25% of its quarterly dividend and the launch of a new share buyback program of six billion dollars.

Lowe’s advances by 1%, the distributor having reported a surprise increase in his sales on a perimeter comparable to the fourth quarter.

Intuits jumped 11.40%, the management and accounting software publisher having announced to anticipate a turnover for the current quarter of expectations.

Lower 3m decreases by 1.58% after confirmation of its annual organic growth forecasting forecasting in a range of 2% to 3%.
