(Reuters) – The New York Stock Exchange opened up on Monday, despite the “Shutdown” which enters its sixth day without a budget agreement in sight, while investors focus their attention on the values of artificial intelligence (AI).
In the first exchanges, the Dow Jones index earns 32.52 points, or 0.07%, at 46,790.80 points and the Standard & Poor’s 500, wider, increased from 0.29% to 6,735.35 points.
The Nasdaq Composite takes 0.50%, or 114.16 points, at 22,894.67 points.
The closure of the federal government, which has lasted since last Wednesday, had no effect on the markets, more concentrated on monetary policy and the prospects of promising sectors such as AI.
However, the “Shutdown” has already delayed the publication of certain important macroeconomic indicators, such as the US employment report on Friday.
However, a series of alternative indicators published last week reported moderate hires, strengthening anticipations of a decrease of 25 basic points of interest rates by the American Federal Reserve (Fed) at his next meeting.
At the values, AMD climbs 31.31% after announcing on Monday that it would provide artificial intelligence chips in Openai as part of a multi-year agreement which should bring in tens of billions of dollars in annual income and would give the Chatgpt creator the possibility of buying up to around 10% of the semiconductor manufacturer.
