The upward movement of the US exchanges should continue on Friday. The hope of constructive trade talks between the USA and China has received new food. After the last time it was unclear whether there were any discussions between the two sides, it now says from China, considering negotiations with the USA to prevent a trade war. Washington has to demonstrate sincerity with concrete measures. A spokesman for the Chinese Ministry of Commerce said that China is currently reviewing repeated statements and messages from US representatives who “expressed their willingness to negotiate with China about tariffs”. In addition, there are statements by the EU trade officer about progress in negotiations between the USA and the EU.
The S&P Future is 0.3 percent. In view, however, the US labor market report for April, which almost always has the potential to move the market. Economists assume that the job structure has slowed down, but the unemployment rate has remained at a low level. According to the labor market data, the order intake of industry from March is published.
Convincing business figures of important US companies also contribute to the overall positive mood, although the customs dispute sometimes clouds the joy of the numbers again. Thanks to a higher demand for iPhones, Apple increased sales from January to March, but due to the punitive tariffs expects additional costs of 900 million euros in the current quarter. This presses the stock by 2.7 percent.
Amazon also gave a careful view due to the analysts due to the customs issue. The company’s strong quarterly figures take a back seat. The share falls by 2.1 percent.
The online room broker Airbnb (-4.5%) increased sales in the first quarter, but due to the uncertain prospects of the domestic economy, it expects weaker growth of bookings in the current quarter.
For Friday, the Chevron and Exxon Mobile oil company and the chemical sector of Dupont de Nemours have also been announced for Friday.
