(Reuters)-Wall Street is expected in dispersed order on Wednesday and European scholarships are advancing mid-session, after the publication of inflation data in the United States, and pending a new series of banking results. Futures in New York indices report an opening of Wall Street up 0.01% for Dow Jones, down 0.07% for Standard & Poor’s-500 and down 0.25% for NASDAQ. In Paris, the CAC 40 earns 0.10% at 7,773.82 points around 10:18 GMT. In Frankfurt, the Dax advances 0.34% and in London, the FTSE 100 rises by 0.16%.

The Eurostoxx 50 index fell 0.20%, the FTSEUROFIRST 300 loses 0.03%and the Stoxx 600 abandons 0.03%.

On the commercial level, negotiations between the European Union (EU) and the United States continue. Tuesday evening, the European Commerce Commissioner, Maros Sefcovic, spoke by telephone with the representative of the United States for foreign trade Jamieson Greer.

If the United States came to impose 30% customs duties on imports from the EU, as announced by Donald Trump, the European Commission determined 72 billion euros in American products on which it could act in return.

In addition to trade tensions, the markets have taken note of the figures for CPI inflation in the United States for June, which led investors to maintain their anticipation of drop in rates on a quarter of a point from the American Federal Reserve (Fed) in September. On the other hand, they almost abandoned the hypothesis of a drop in rates in July.

In addition, investors will be attentive today to the new results of major banks in the United States and data concerning industrial production, in order to assess the extent of inflationary pressures.

“Until now, we have not yet found a decisive and significant impact of customs duties on inflation figures,” said Va Gkionakis, senior economist and strategist at Aviva Investors. “It should happen, but we will have to wait to know the moment and the extent of this phenomenon,” said the economist.
