Wall Street soars on tech

Above all, the Nasdaq is driving the US markets, which collects the technology stocks that have sparked today: record-breaking Amazon, but also Microsoft and Ibm.

Closes on the up Wall Street, mainly driven by technology stocks. In particular Amazon has reached a record level, thanks to analysts at JP Morgan, according to which the title of the American giant of electronic commerce by December 2017 will be worth 1.000 dollars. This is an 8% increase from the previous price target of $925. Jeff Bezos' group, listed on the Nasdaq, closes with an increase of more than 2%, to nearly 816 dollars per share.

Also good Microsoft and IBM, which end up being the top two stocks in the Dow Jones with gains around 1,8%. Worst Title Walt Disney, which closes in negative territory on Twitter marriage rumors.

In short, US investors have ignored the splash of oil (-2,74% to 44,67 dollars a barrel), while enthusiasm for the good performance by Hillary Clinton in the first Republican debate against Donald Trump. The Democratic candidate gives more security by offering a clear version of her plans. You also demonstrate the rally of the peso against the dollar: the Mexican currency is in fact considered the barometer of the risk associated with the Republican rival. The Dow Jones closes at +0,74%, the S&P 500 at +0,64%, the Nasdaq at +0,92%.
