PARIS (Reuters) – The New York Stock Exchange opened in dispersed order on Wednesday of the three main Wall Street indices on Wednesday, the Dow Jones, while Standard & Poor’s 500 and the NASDAQ still accelerate on the faith of an imminent drop in guiding rates in the United States and spectacular Oracle forecasts.

In the first exchanges, the Dow Jones index loses 88.85 points, or 0.19%, at 45,622.49 points.

The Standard & Poor’s 500, wider, increased by 28.16 points, or 0.43%, to 6,540.77 points.

The Nasdaq Composite takes 106.45 points, or 0.49%, at 21,985.94 points.

An hour before the opening of Wall Street, the Labor Department indicated that production prices (PPI) in the United States had taken against all expectations in August, by 0.1% in months, while in annual rate, they deceived 2.6% after an increase of 3.1% in July. This statistic, published upstream of the consumer price index, scheduled for Thursday, comes to reinforce market anticipations on several drops in the rates of the American Federal Reserve (Fed) by the end of the year.

On Tuesday, the Department of Labor revised down the job creations over 12 months to March, suggesting that employment growth in the United States was already at a standstill before President Donald Trump imposes new customs duties.

A slowdown in the economy and inflationary pressures hope to hope for a possible 50 point of the Fed rates next week, show the term contracts.

“Any sign indicating that inflation is decreasing (…) is welcomed with great satisfaction on the part of the market and the Fed,” said Adam Sarhan, managing director of 50 Park Investments.

“The fact that production prices, which are more sensitive to customs duties, have dropped is a bullish factor for actions (…) This gives the Fed more room for maneuver to reduce its rates,” he added.

The positive trend is also fueled by Oracle which said he expects orders in its dematerialized computer activity to exceed $ 500 billion. In the wake of Oracle which flies 32%, Nvidia takes 3.05%, Advanced Micro Devices 3.72%, and Broadcom 4.78%.

Energy suppliers for data centers are also sought with Constellation Energy which earns 3.77%, VISTRA 4.69%and GE VERNOVA 4.83%.

In other values, Synopsys dives 30.73%, the flea design software supplier has missed Wall Street forecasts on quarterly turnover, while Gamestop jumped 3.55% after reporting an increase of almost 22% of its quarterly turnover.
