Good MorningStocks ended the day in a mixed fashion as traders assessed new tariffs set to take effect next month on more than a dozen nations. The S&P 500 inched up about 0.1%, the Nasdaq ticked 0.2% higher, and the Dow slipped roughly 0.3% after Monday’s broad sell-off. Treasury yields held near recent ranges and the U.S. dollar stayed firm while precious metals gave back ground, with gold off about $25 and silver also in the red.
With Q2 earnings season looming, MarketBeat’s screens have spotlighted a trio of recently upgraded stocks—particularly in tech and consumer sectors—as potential buys ahead of their reports. Yet, caution is growing around firms making big bitcoin gambles, with some drawing comparisons to the late-1990s tech bubble. As market liquidity tightens, investors are increasingly focused on fundamentals and corporate outlooks to guide their next moves. Featured: Why Trump’s “Smart Dollar” could rewrite the rules (Ad)
