(Reuters) – The New York Stock Exchange ended up on Monday, the S&P 500 and the NASDAQ touching records, driven by Alphabet and the other mega -spaces before several results publications this week, while investors are counting on possible trade agreements to mitigate the economic damage caused by Donald Trump.

The Dow Jones index sold 0.04%, or 19.12 points, to 44,323.07 points. The larger Standard & Poor’s 500 took 8.81 points, or 0.14% at 6,305.60 points. The Nasdaq Composite advanced 78.52 points, 0.38% to 20,974.175 points.

Google’s parent company, Alphabet ended up 2.7% before the publication of its quarterly results on Wednesday, before those of several large companies called the “Seven Magnificent”.

Tesl fell 0.35% while Apple advanced 0.62% and Amazon by 1.43%.

Verizon climbs on 4% after the telecommunications group has revised upwards its forecasts for annual profits.

Analysts expected on average that the companies in the S&P 500 record an increase of 6.7 % of their profits in the second quarter, large technological companies being at the origin of the majority of this increase, according to the LSEG I/B/E/S ratio.

“So far, companies that have published their results have reached or exceeded forecasts from the previous quarter, and we have not observed degradation of business or consumer spending,” Tom Hainlin, national investment strategist at Us Bank Wealth Management said in Minneapolis.

While the fateful date of August 1 is approaching for the entry into force of American customs duties, investors are betting that pricing damage will be less important than feared.

The US Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick said it was confident on Sunday that the United States will find an agreement with the European Union.

The comments of the President of the American Federal Reserve (Fed), Jerome Powell, on Tuesday, will be closely followed in order to find indications on the orientation of the monetary policy of the Central Bank.
