NEW YORK (Reuters) – The New York Stock Exchange ended up on Tuesday, registering in green after sawtooth movements, while investors have taken into account a series of quarterly results, economic data and potential developments on the issue of customs duties.

The Dow Jones index won 0.75%, or 300.03 points, at 40,527.62 points.

The wider S & P-500 took 32.08 points, or 0.58%, at 5,560.83 points.

The Nasdaq Composite has advanced 95.19 points (0.55%) to 17,461.32 points.

The S & P-500 has finished increasing for the sixth consecutive session, an unprecedented series since last November (seven days in a row in the green), confirming the signs of stabilization on the markets.

However, the main Wall Street indices are still in negative territory across the start of the year.

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bresntnt said progress on Washington trade negotiations on Tuesday with several countries, including Japan and India.

He also predicted that China could quickly lose some 10 million jobs due to customs duties.

Washington and Beijing have an exacerbated trade war by the surchants on Chinese products decided earlier this month by US President Donald Trump.

The announcement by the White House, on April 2, of so -called reciprocal taxes on imports from dozens of countries rocked the markets, investors worrying about an imminent slowdown in global economic growth and a rise in inflation.

As reported the day before, Donald Trump signed on Tuesday, just before the closure, a decree lightening customs duties for car manufacturers whose production is based in the United States, while parts and vehicles imported from abroad are subject to new taxes of 25%.

The securities of companies in the sector, however, have not experienced significant movements. General Motors even sold 0.6% after revising its annual forecasts downwards, despite a solid first quarter.

“A large number of economic data will be mixed. It will be very complicated to discern the impact of customs duties for a month or two, probably,” commented Anthony Saglimbene, chief strategist of America Financial, in Michigan.

“The companies most affected by customs duties do what we could expect from: they come back their forecasts down or suspend them,” he added.

Additional economic data is expected this week, with the highlight on Friday a key report on the American labor market.

Several of Wall Street’s “Seven Magnificent” will also communicate their quarterly results, including Apple and Microsoft. Investors should scrutinize any element on the impact of customs duties.

The Dow Jones was notably worn Tuesday by Honeywell gains, which climbed 5.4% after publishing an increased profit up in the first quarter.

Coca-Cola also ended up 0.8%, following quarterly results above expectations.

On the other hand, United Parlia Service fell 0.4% in the wake of its quarterly results and the announcement of the abolition of 20,000 jobs. Wells Fargo increased by 2.4% after the announcement of an equity buyback program of $ 40 billion.
