US stocks dive as euphoria on Wall Street shifts to trade war fears

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

Trump's 'buy' tip before tariff pause paid off for investors who listened

When Donald Trump offered some financial advice Wednesday morning, stocks were wavering between gains and losses. But that was about to change. THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!!! DJT, he wrote on his social media platform Truth Social at 9:37 am. Less than four hours later, Trump announced a 90-day pause on nearly all his tariffs. Stocks soared on the news, closing up 9.5% by the end of trading. The market, measured by the S&P 500, gained back about $4 trillion, or 70%, of the value it had lost over the previous four trading days. It was a prescient call by the president. Maybe too prescient. He's loving this, this control over markets, but he better be careful, said Trump critic and former White House ethics lawyer, Richard Painter, noting that securities law prohibits trading on insider information or helping others do so. The people who bought when they saw that post made a lot of money. The question is, Was Trump already contemplating the tariff pause when he made that post? Ask
