May 1 (Reuters) - Mastercard ( MA ) reported a jump in
first-quarter profit on Thursday on the back of resilient
spending in its card network, despite economic uncertainty
sparked by a global trade war.
Profit rose to $3.3 billion, or $3.59 per share, in the
three months ended March 31, from $3 billion, or $3.22 per
share, a year earlier.
