NEW YORK (Reuters)-The New York Stock Exchange ended in dispersed order on Wednesday, the Dow Jones recording a slight decrease while the S&P-500 and the NASDAQ reached records, carried by technological values ​​and the announcement of a trade agreement between the United States and Vietnam which reassured the issue of customs duties.

The Dow Jones index sold 0.02%, or 10.52 points, to 44,484.42 points.

The wider S&P-500 took 29.41 points, or 0.47%, at 6,227.42 points.

The NASDAQ Composite advanced 190.24 points (0.94%) to 20,393.13 points.

Wall Street had dropped after the publication of disappointing data in the private employment sector in the United States.

Investors are now awaiting a monthly report on the US labor market, scheduled for Thursday, to have indices on the possible rate of drop in rates of the Federal Reserve (Fed).

Stressing that an economic slowdown sends “very contrasting” signals, Jim Awad, Clearstead Advisors LLC, in New York, said that a weakening of the labor market “would be positive” if it pushed the Fed to reduce its rates.

“But if the weakening is very important,” he added, “it will be negative for growth and profits”. After its adoption in the Senate on Tuesday, the massif project of budgetary reform of Donald Trump was debated in the House of Representatives, under pressure from the American president who intends to promulgate the text by the American national holiday on Friday.

In addition, the Trump administration continues to carry out bilateral negotiations with a number of business partners, while the deadline, fixed on July 9, approaches the important taxes so -called reciprocal, announced last April by the White House.

“There has been a certain relief with regard to advances in trade,” said Michael Arone, chief strategist of State Street Global Advisors, in Boston, noting that investors continued to scrutinize any progress on the issue of customs duties.

“The agreement with Vietnam has been good news,” he said after the United States announced at mid-day having concluded an agreement with the Southeast Asian country, most of which were 20%taxed.

Washington also suggested that an agreement with India was near, while warning, however, that it might have to wait beyond July 9 to see additional agreements.

The Nasdaq was carried Wednesday by the gains of technological giants including Nvidia, Apple and Tesla despite, for the latter, a clear decline in its deliveries in the second quarter.

Some traders said that the data communicated by Tesla were less gloomy than anticipated. The car manufacturer took 5%.

Also note, on the values ​​side, the plug -in of 40% centene after having withdrawn its annual profit forecasts.
