(Reuters) – Wall Street is expected to drop slightly on Friday and European scholarships are advancing at mid -session, while the legal battle on the customs duties of US President Donald Trump invites uncertainty to the investor program. Futures in New York indices report an opening of Wall Street down 0.02% for the Dow Jones, by 0.13% for the Standard & Poor’s 500 and 0.14% for the NASDAQ. In Paris, the CAC 40 earns 0.24% at 7,798.49 points around 10.45 gmt. In Frankfurt, the Dax advances 0.94% and in London, the FTSE 100 rises by 0.72%.
The Eurostoxx 50 index increased by 0.45%, the FTSEUROFRST 300 wins 0.62%and the Stoxx 600 takes 0.59%.
The markets have experienced fluctuations throughout the week, investors trying to overcome agitated news.
On Thursday, a Washington Federal Court of Appeal restored so -called “reciprocal” customs duties announced in April by Donald Trump after an appeal brought by the US administration. The Manhattan International Commercial Court had ordered the blocking of these customs rights on Wednesday on Wednesday that the American president has exceeded his authority.
“Trump’s commercial program remains alive, and the legal battle adds a new layer of uncertainty,” said Rodrigo Catril, senior strategist in foreign currencies at the National Australia Bank. “The only thing that seems more certain is more uncertainty,” he added.
Despite the uncertainty aroused by the judicial saga, the administration of Donald Trump said that negotiations with his main trading partners were continuing tirelessly. The secretary of the Treasury, Scott Bessent, said in an interview with Fox News that he had to meet with a high -level Japanese delegation on Friday in Washington, while specifying that negotiations with China were “somewhat at a standstill”.
After data on growth and unemployed registration published Thursday, the markets will be attentive to PCE inflation in the United States expected before the opening of scholarships across the Atlantic. The values ​​to follow at Wall Street [L5N3S20H1]
