Wall Street drifts higher as oil prices jump, US manufacturing slumps

US stock indexes drifted closer to their records on Monday, coming off their stellar May, which was Wall Street's best month since 2023. The S&P 500 rose 0.4% after erasing an early loss from the morning. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 35 points, or 0.1%, and the Nasdaq composite climbed 0.7%. Indexes had been down close to 1% in the morning following some discouraging updates on US manufacturing. President Donald Trump has been warning that US businesses and households could feel some pain as he tries to use tariffs to bring more manufacturing jobs back to the country, and their on-and-off rollout has created lots of uncertainty. But stocks rallied back as the day progressed, and gains for a few influential stocks helped lift the S&P 500 even though more stocks within it fell than rose. Nvidia climbed 1.7%, and Meta Platforms rose 3.6%, for example. Some of Monday's strongest action was in the oil market, where the price of crude spurted more than 3%. The countries in

Wall Street sell-off spirals, briefly sends US stocks 10% below its record

Wall Street's sell-off is spiralling Tuesday following President Donald Trump's latest escalation in his trade war, briefly pulling the US stock market 10% below its record set just a few weeks ago. The S&P 500 was down 1.4% in afternoon trading after Trump said he would raise tariffs on steel and aluminum coming from Canada, doubling their planned increase to 50%. The president said it was a response to moves a Canadian province made after Trump began threatening tariffs on one of the United States' most important trading partners. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 678 points, or 1.6%, as of 1:40 pm Eastern time, and the Nasdaq composite was 1% lower. The S&P 500 was sitting at the edge of what Wall Street calls a correction," where it falls 10%, and was sitting within 0.1 percentage points of the mark. Such head-spinning moves are becoming routine following a scary ride for investors where the S&P 500 has swung by at least 1%, up or down, seven times in the last .
