Good MorningU.S. stocks closed lower Wednesday, as the S&P 500 slipped 0.6%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 0.6% and the Nasdaq Composite fell 0.5%. The mixed session saw semiconductor bellwether Nvidia deliver another blowout quarter, overcoming tariff threats to handily beat analysts’ projections, while retailer Abercrombie & Fitch also surprised on the upside.
Yet department‐store stalwart Macy’s reported softer sales and reduced its profit outlook, citing cautious consumers and rising tariff‐related costs, dampening broader sentiment.
Overnight, markets rallied on relief that a federal court blocked President Trump’s attempt to impose sweeping tariffs under emergency powers, ruling that the 1977 law doesn’t authorize such hikes. U.S. futures jumped and Asian shares climbed, and European stocks rebounded after Trump postponed threatened duties on EU goods.
Investors also cheered Trump’s order to streamline nuclear‐energy licensing to 18 months and open federal land for construction—a move that sent nuclear‐power stocks sharply higher on hopes of renewed industry momentum.
On the commodities front, West Texas Intermediate crude settled at $61.84 a barrel, up nearly 1.5%, while gold futures edged lower after a narrow trading range. Looking ahead, sectors tied to global trade flows and energy infrastructure are likely to stay in focus, as policymakers juggle stimulus, regulation and industrial strategy.
Meanwhile, consumer‐staples names such as Coca-Cola, which has outpaced peers this year, may offer defensive ballast alongside more cyclical and rate-sensitive plays. Featured: Buffett to put 90% of his money in this one stock? (Ad)
