(Reuters) – The New York Stock Exchange opened on Monday in a context of uncertainty concerning American trade policy.

In the first exchanges, the Dow Jones index loses 70.95 points, or 0.16%, at 44,757.58 points and the Standard & Poor’s 500, wider, fell from 0.32% to 6,259.56 points.

The Nasdaq Composite cedes 0.49%, or 99.97 points, to 20,501.13 points.

At the start of the week, the uncertainties surrounding the trade policy of the United States continues to grow as the end of the customs break granted by Donald Trump.

The American president had paused the so -called “reciprocal” customs duties which he had decreed for 90 days, giving on July 9 as a deadline.

The tenant of the White House said on Sunday that the United States would begin to send letters on Monday to the various countries to tell them that, if things do not advance, they will return on August 1 in terms of customs duties on April 2.

“More and more elements suggest that August 1 could be new July 9,” said Deutsche Bank analysts.

In addition, the American president has threatened the countries that align themselves with the “anti-American policies” of the member states of the group of additional customs rights by 10%.
