(Reuters) – The New York Stock Exchange opened on Thursday after a US court ruled against most of President Donald Trump’s customs duties and the artificial intelligence giant Nvidia has published quarterly sales higher than expectations.
In the first exchanges, the Dow Jones index earns 73.88 points, or 0.18% to 42,172.58 points and the Standard & Poor’s 500, wider, increased from 0.83% to 5,937.20 points.
The Nasdaq Composite takes 1.44%, or 275.76 points, at 19,376.70 points.
The global appetite for the risk sets the tone for action markets after a court judged that Donald Trump has exceeded his powers by imposing so-called “reciprocal” customs rights against the United States business partners.
This decision offers a respite but does not dissipate uncertainty as to the response of the American administration.
According to analysts from Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank and Panmure Liberum, the White House, which has already appealed the decision, could use other laws to pursue its commercial policy.
Proof of persistent doubts, American term contracts have reduced their gains throughout the morning and the dollar erased its earnings at the start of the day, losing ground compared to the main currencies.
In addition, the data published before the opening to Wall Street were not particularly encouraging: weekly unemployed registrations in the United States increased more than expected and the Commerce Department has confirmed a GDP contraction in the first quarter, although slightly lower than initial estimates.
Regarding the results of companies, the gains of Nvidia in the aftermath of the publication of its quarterly results supported the Nasdaq, index with a strong technological component. The American flagship of artificial intelligence advances more than 6% in the first exchanges. In its wake, the semiconductor sector is up, including Advanced Micro Devices which takes 2% and Super Micro Computer which increased by 3.7%.
SalesForce is receiving 7% after the publication of its quarterly results.
