Wall Street opened up Thursday, investors being rather reassured by the announcement of a deal on the Brexit between London and Brussels despite the uncertainties that surround it.
Its flagship index, the Dow Jones Industrial Average, rose 0.27% to 27,075.67 points, around 13:50 GMT.
The Nasdaq, with strong technological coloration, took 0.63%, at 8,175.74 points, and the expanded S & P 500 index was up 0.53%, to 3,005.63 points.
The New York Stock Exchange fell Friday, penalized by the surprise drop in retail sales in the United States in September: the Dow Jones had yielded 0.08% and Nasdaq 0.30%.
The agreement on Brexit announced Thursday by European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker, and confirmed by British Prime Minister Boris Johnson just before a European summit, seemed to reassure the markets early Wednesday.
Its adoption in the United Kingdom remains uncertain.
"The approval by the British Parliament is however far from gained, because the (North Irish unionist party) DUP has already expressed its disagreement with the compromise proposal, like the Labor Party", notes Patrick O'Hare of Briefing.
Financial players continued to closely monitor the quarterly results of companies listed on Wall Street.
US bank Morgan Stanley delighted New York City Street on Thursday with strong third quarter results, marked by a sharp rise in commissions from traders and investment bankers. Its title rose by 2.87%.
Netflix, which released Wednesday after the close of the results deemed reassuring since it reported more than 158 million subscribers worldwide and a turnover of over $ 5 billion in the third quarter, climbed 5.88%.
Among indicators, US industrial production declined in September, losing 0.4%, according to figures from the Federal Reserve (Fed) released Thursday. Analysts were expecting a less pronounced decline.
In the bond market, the 10-year US debt rate stood at 1.755%, slightly higher than Wednesday's close (1.740%).
