The American stock markets were closed on Thursday with a win. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq reached new record levels, supported by a stronger than expected job report. In June 147,000 jobs were added, considerably more than the expected 106,000. This makes an interest reduction by the Federal Reserve less likely this month, despite pressure from President Trump to lower loan costs.
The S&P 500 rose 0.8%, the Nasdaq 1%and the Dow Jones 0.8%.
Tech giants such as Nvidia (+1.3%), Meta, Apple, Amazon and Microsoft achieved profits up to 1.6%.
