Wall Street closed in a disorganized fashion on Thursday, as indecisive as it has been since the beginning of the week as to where Donald Trump and Xi Jinping should go before the Dow Jones have been hit by a fall in the Boeing title.
According to final results at closing, the Dow Jones Industrial Average index lost 0.04% to 26,526.58 points.
The aircraft manufacturer was manhandled by a series of bad news about his flagship 737 MAX aircraft, whose return to the sky after two accidents that had made 346 dead should take much longer than expected. His title fell 2.91%.
Although Boeing's troubles have been going on for months, "it seems like they will not have a long-term impact on the company," said Adam Sarhan of 50 Park Investment.
The high-tech Nasdaq index advanced 0.73% to 7,967.76 points.
The broad S & P 500 index rose 0.38% to 2,924.92 points.
In addition to the Boeing case, "all eyes are on the meeting on Saturday between Donald Trump and Xi Jinping and its potential outcome," commented Adam Sarhan.
"The market does not need a formal agreement on all the issues between the two countries, but evidence of a breakthrough in the talks may be enough to boost the indices," added the specialist.
While waiting for news on this front, the indices evolve close to balance since Monday.
The two heads of state arrived Thursday in Osaka for an international summit of the G20 Friday and Saturday.
The US 10-year bond market borrowing rate was 2.012% at around 20:25 GMT, compared to 2.037% on Monday at the close.
