PARIS (Reuters) – The New York Stock Exchange opened up on Monday, bouncing after the fall of Friday linked to a report on employment deemed disappointing, which is now largely hoping for a drop in interest rates in the United States in September.

In the first exchanges, the Dow Jones index earns 213.89 points, or 0.49%, at 43,802.47 points.

The Standard & Poor’s 500, larger, increased by 41.64 points, or 0.67%, to 6,279.65 points.

The Nasdaq Composite takes 202.79 points, or 0.98%, at 20,852.92 points.

Wall Street ended up sharply on Friday with a S&P 500 having recorded its largest fall in percentage in one session for more than two months after the publication of the monthly report on American employment. This report showed that the economy had created fewer jobs than scheduled in July, 73,000 after 14,000 in June (revised figure of 147,000) and a reuters consensus at 110,000.

These figures raised fears of a deterioration of the labor market in the United States and has reinforced almost 90% the probability of a drop in rates of the American Federal Reserve (Fed) in September, against a probability of 63.1% a week ago.

The feeling of investors was also affected by the new customs duties imposed by Washington in Canada, Brazil, India or Taiwan, despite the attempts of these countries to obtain better agreements.

On Monday, the market seems to have digested this news, allowing the index of fear of retreating 7.25%, while the yield of two -year treasure bills, which had dropped from 24 base points on Friday, at the lowest since May 1, is practically stable, at 3.68%.

In terms of business results, after a week marked by an avalanche of financial publications, especially in new technologies, the session is calm and this week is waiting this week mainly Palant (+4.1%), Eli Lilly (+1.11%) and Disney (+2.20%).

Among the 330 S&P 500 companies that have already published their results, 80.6% have exceeded analysts’ expectations, the highest rate since the third quarter of 2023, according to data compiled by LSEG I/B/E/S.

In business news, Tesla rises 1.55% after the allocation of 96 million shares to its director general, Elon Musk, a measure intended to maintain the billionaire at the head of the group.

Commscope flies to 82.79% after the announcement by Amphenol (+2.90%) of the redemption of the connectivity and cable division of the Communication network infrastructure supplier for $ 10.5 billion.
