PARIS (Reuters) – The New York Stock Exchange opened on low variations Thursday after the publication of several indicators and business results.
In the first exchanges, the Dow Jones index earns 4.09 points, or 0.01% to 44,258.87 points, and the Standard & Poor’s 500, wider, increased from 0.06% to 6,267.69 points. The Nasdaq Composite takes 0.20% or 40.38 points, at 20,770.87.
Investors evaluate data published Thursday before the opening of Wall Street which, for the moment, reflects good resistance from the US economy to the Trump administration policies.
Retail sales rebounded more than scheduled in June while the number of unemployed registration surprised down during the week which ended on July 12.
The conditions of activity in the Philadelphia region have also improved more than expected in July, the “Philly Fed” index having increased at 15.9 after -4 in June.
In this context, the American Federal Reserve (Fed) should continue to opt for the status quo, still seeking to analyze the consequences of the policies, in particular commercial, of the American president while the commercial negotiations continue.
At the same time, the season of the second quarter results continues, like the actions listed in the United States of TSMC which took 3.3% after the group’s quarterly results.
