Wall Street opens green in first session after Trump impeachment

Wall Street began the day this Friday in green and the Dow Jones Industrials, its main indicator, rose 0.43%, in the first stock market session after learning of the imputation of former President Donald Trump, a fact never before registered in the United States .

One hour after the start of operations on the New York Stock Exchange, the Dow Jones rose to 33,000.02 units, while the selective S&P 500 rose 0.46% to 4,068.37 points.

The composite index of the Nasdaq market, where the main technology companies are listed, increased, for its part, 0.58% to 12,083.43 integers.

The New York stock market began the day rising, continuing with the trend marked two days ago, when a certain optimism was already perceptible about the end of the financial storm that hit the United States and spread to Europe after the collapses of the Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) and the Signature Bank.

The news of the indictment of Trump – who had predicted “deaths and destruction” if this occurred – does not seem to have transmitted, for the moment, the slightest nervousness to investors.

By sectors, all woke up positive, with the highest increases for non-essential goods (1.28%) and communications (1.26%).

Among the 30 Dow Jones values, with a clear dominance of green, the most favored corporations were Walmart (1.23%), Home Depot (1.15%) and Salesforce (1.19%); among those that fell, Amgen (-0.3%) and Merck (-0.13%).
