New YorkUS equity markets have rebounded since 2011 after the largest decline in technology stocks. Interesting numbers published by companies such as Microsoft, Ford and Twitter contributed to the market on Thursday, traders said. In addition, bargain hunters were on their way.
The most important clues
The Dow Jones Index of Standards closed up 1.6% to 24,984 points. The broad S & P 500 rose 1.9% to 2705 points. The Nasdaq stock market index rose 3% to 7318 positions.
But yesterday's worries have not gone away, said Omar Aguilar, equity strategist at Charles Schwab Investment Management. On Wednesday, the Nasdaq had lost 4.4% after chip makers Texas Instruments and STMicro had warned of a weakening of demand and raised the question of whether the expected profits of companies could be too high.
Unique values at a glance
Finally, at Microsoft, a flourishing cloud activity and a high demand for desktop software "Office 365" let the boxes ring. During the last quarter, earnings increased by one-third to $ 8.8 billion. The turnover of the world's largest software provider has increased by 19%. Shares rose 5.8%.
Twitter newspapers gained 15.5%. The short message service has significantly increased its revenues despite a decline in the number of users.
Tesla also rolled in the fast lane. The shares of the electric car pioneer increased by 9.1% thanks to the first quarter profit in two years.
At Ford, it was even 9.9% uphill. The second-largest US automaker posted better-than-expected earnings in the third quarter and reiterated its outlook for the year.
For Hershey, however, it dropped 4.9%. Quarterly sales of producer KitKat remained slightly below market expectations and profits declined.
