US stocks jumped Friday in another manic day on Wall Street, while the falling value of the US dollar and other swings in financial markets suggested fear is still high about escalations in President Donald Trump's trade war with China. The S&P 500 rallied 1.8%, after veering repeatedly between gains and losses, to cap a chaotic and historic week full of monstrous swings. The Dow Jones Industrial Average went from an early loss of nearly 340 points to a gain of 810 before settling at a rise of 619 points, or 1.6%, while the Nasdaq composite jumped 2.1%. Stocks kicked higher as pressure eased a bit from within the US bond market. It's typically the more boring corner of Wall Street, but it's been flashing serious enough signals of worry this week that it's demanded investors' and Trump's attention. The yield on the 10-year Treasury topped 4.58% in the morning, up from 4.01% a week ago. That's a major move for a market that typically measures things in hundredths of a percentage ..
US stocks dove Thursday and surrendered a chunk of their historic gains from the day before as President Donald Trump's trade war continues to threaten the economy. The S&P 500 tumbled 3.5%, slicing into Wednesday's surge of 9.5% following Trump's decision to pause many of his tariffs worldwide. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 1,014 points, or 2.5%, and the Nasdaq composite tumbled 4.3%. Trump blinks, UBS strategist Bhanu Baweja wrote in a report about the president's decision on tariffs, but the damage isn't all undone. Trump has focused more on China, raising tariffs on its products to well above 100%. Even if that were to get negotiated down to something like 50%, and even if only 10% tariffs remained on other countries, Baweja said the hit to the US economy could still be large enough to hurt expected growth for upcoming US corporate profits. The losses for US stocks accelerated Thursday after the White House clarified that the United States will tax Chinese imports
