NEW YORK (Reuters) – The New York Stock Exchange ended up on Thursday slightly, after a sawtooth session, carried by the gains recorded by NVIDIA following its quarterly results, but against the backdrop of questions about the commercial policy of the American administration Donald Trump.

The Dow Jones index won 0.28%, or 117.03 points, at 42,215.73 points.

The wider S&P-500 took 23.62 points, or 0.40%, at 5,912.17 points.

The Nasdaq Composite advanced 74.93 points (0.39%) to 19,175.87 points.

A Washington Federal Court of Appeal suspended the blockage on Thursday afternoon, ordered the day before by a judge, large so-called “reciprocal” customs taxes announced in April by Donald Trump, fueling uncertainty surrounding the various trade measures of the American administration.

The White House denounced the initial court decision, also stressing that the American president had other tools to implement his commercial policy.

Donald Trump “has already suspended most of these customs rights anyway, so these court decisions are simply major titles,” said Adam Sarhan, managing director of 50 Park Investments, New York.

If the main Wall Street indices ended in the green, they fell in relation to the peaks affected during the session.

Optimism about the quarterly results of S & P-500 companies, and in particular Nvidia, supported the market, underlined Oliver Pursche, Vice-President of Wealthspire Advisors, in Connecticut.

However, he said, there is no new “impetus”, while uncertainty about the Trump administration’s commercial policy is not lifted.

Data published during the day by the American Department of Commerce show that the US gross domestic product (GDP) contracted by 0.2% in the first quarter, a decline in the consensus which appeared at -0.3%.

Nvidia took 3.2% after having communicated the day before the closing of its greater sales growth than expected over the January-March. However, the heavyweight of artificial intelligence (AI) warned the impact of new restrictions on its flea sales to China.

Salesforce sold 3.3% even when he revised his annual forecasts up.

Best Buy dropped 7.3% after degrading its annual forecasts, citing concerns about consumption in connection with American customs duties.

Boeing climbed 3.3% following comments from its director general according to which the aircraft manufacturer plans to accelerate the monthly production of its 737 max planes.
