The US stock market has opened in positive territory on Thursday after President Trump’s sweeping global tariffs were blocked by the federal court.
Having earlier shown up to a 1.5 per cent climb for the S&P 500 and closer to 2 per cent for the Nasdaq in futures trading, both indices opened slightly lower than that - but still 0.8 per cent and 1.3 per cent higher respectively. The Dow Jones opened largely flat.
