(Reuters) – The New York Stock Exchange ended up sharply on Friday after a sawtooth session marked by mixed indicators on the economy and the altercation between Donald Trump and Volodimir Zelensky in the White House.
The Dow Jones index gained 1.39% to 43,840.91 points The S&P-500 1.59% to 5,954.50 points and the NASDAQ Composite 1.63% to 18,847.28 points.
The verbal confrontation between the American and Ukrainian presidents, a source of new uncertainty for investors on the course of the war in Ukraine, after an inflation indicator reporting an increase in prices always solid in the United States, plunged the S&P 500 but it later erased its losses and finished in green.
To the particular values, the Action DELL fell 4.7% after the PC manufacturer announced predict a drop in its gross margin rate for the tax fiscal year 2026. But the progression of other technological values ​​like NVIDIA, Apple and Tesla has contributed to supporting the S&P.
Over the past month, however, the S&P lost 1.43%, the Nasdaq 3.97%and the Dow Jones 1.58%. This is the highest monthly contraction in Nasdaq since April 2024.
The Commerce Department announced before the session that consumer spending, which represent more than two -thirds of the US economy, had dropped by 0.2% in January, their first decrease in almost two years.
The trade deficit for goods has also widened, companies increasing their purchases of imported products before the establishment of additional customs duties by the administration of Donald Trump.
“Discussions around customs duties have a negative effect on the equity market and this will probably restrict its progression until there is a little more clarity on this subject,” said Sam Stovall, strategist at Cfra Research.
