(Reuters) – The New York Stock Exchange opened on Tuesday, on the eve of the monetary policy decision of the Federal Reserve (Fed), which is expected to resume its rate drop after a nine -month break.

In the first exchanges, the Dow Jones index earns 31.67 points, or 0.07%, at 45,915.12 points and the Standard & Poor’s 500, wider, increased from 0.14% to 6,624.35 points.

The Nasdaq Composite takes 0.18%, or 39.65 points, at 22,388.40 points.

The difficulties of the labor market have led operators to focus largely on a resumption of reduction in borrowing costs in the United States, the Fed fearing above all that the commercial policy of the White House would cause a rise in inflation.

“The risks now seem to be much more linked to employment in the context of the Fed’s mandate, and the additional monetary softening of the Fed will avoid a more serious deterioration of the labor market,” said Luigi Speranza, analyst at BNP Paribas.

Analysts also examine a series of indicators published shortly before the opening of the scholarship, including retail sales in August, which increased more than expected from one month to the next, but whose dynamics could slow down due to the low labor market and increase in prices due to customs duties on imports.

Import prices have also increased unexpectedly last month, brought by the high increase in capital costs and consumer goods, which suggests an acceleration of domestic inflation in the coming months.

At the values, Oracle, which according to the CBS channel is part of a consortium of companies which would allow Tiktok to continue its activities in the United States, takes 4% in the first exchanges.
