Major indexes are trading lower. Policy uncertainty and anticipation of further tariff announcements may be weighing on investor sentiment and contributing to overall market weakness.

Following the worst quarterly performance for U.S. stocks in over two years, caution dominated Wall Street as investors awaited details on the tariff plans expected from the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/tariffs">Trump administration on Wednesday.</a>
On Tuesday, a Washington Post report suggested the administration is considering a sweeping 20% tariff on most of the $3 trillion in annual imports.
Survey data showed that goods-producing businesses had been front-loading purchases ahead of the expected tariffs by the end of first quarter, with inventory levels rising and input cost pressures<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/04/44588076/us-manufacturing-slips-into-contraction-as-tariff-driven-costs-hit-near-3-year-high"> hitting a three-year high.</a>
Major indexes showed little movement by midday in New York, with the S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq 100 posting modest gains.
Notably, Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), Rivian Automotive Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIVN#NASDAQ">RIVN</a>), and Lucid Group Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LCID#NASDAQ">LCID</a>) each jumped around 6% as investors viewed them as potential winners from auto-related tariffs. 
Reports last week highlighted that all three manufacture vehicles entirely in the U.S., giving them a competitive edge over peers like Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) and General Motors Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>).
Treasuries climbed as yields fell, and gold took a breather after hitting a record $3,122 per ounce. Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) rose more than 3% to over $85,000, marking its strongest session in three weeks.

Wall Street Inches Up Ahead Of Tariff Day: What's Driving Markets Tuesday?

Risk sentiment remains under pressure at the start of the week on Wall Street, with tech-heavy indexes sliding while commodities advance, as traders fear a new wave of price pressures following <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/tariffs">the upcoming tariffs announcement.</a>
The S&amp;P 500 experienced a turbulent morning session, first hitting its lowest level in over six months before clawing back some ground and trimming losses. Nevertheless, the benchmark equity index is on track for its worst month since September 2022, having fallen 7% in March.
Tech stocks remained the weakest link, with the Nasdaq 100 down 1.1% as semiconductor names weighed on the broader sector. The iShares Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NASDAQ">SOXX</a>) dropped 1.9% and is down 11.9% month-to-date — also marking its worst month since September 2022.
President Donald Trump's threats toward Iran over the weekend pushed crude oil prices up by 3.5% for the session, marking the biggest single-day gain since October.
Energy-related stocks outperformed and are on pace to log their fourth consecutive positive month, now up 8.5% year-to-date.
Meanwhile, gold prices continued to smash record highs, with bullion surging over 1% to $3,115 per ounce. Quarterly gains have reached 18% — the strongest three-month rally since 2009.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) inched up 1.2% to $83,400, fighting to avoid a second consecutive monthly decline.

Stocks Fall, S&P 500 Eyes Worst Month In Almost Two Years, Oil Rallies: What's Driving Markets Monday?

Lawrence McDonald, founder of Bear Traps Report, warned on Sunday that President Donald Trump&#8216;s planned tariffs could have a more significant inflationary impact during his second term compared to his first administration.
What Happened: During Trump&#8217;s first term, tariffs and inflation came after a prolonged period of global austerity, secular stagnation, and Brexit's impact, McDonald wrote on X. In a second term, they would follow a $16 trillion fiscal and &#8220;monetary overdosing.&#8221;
McDonald&#8217;s comments come as markets brace for Trump&#8217;s Apr. 2 &#8220;Liberation Day&#8221; tariff announcements, with stock futures declining Sunday night. 
McDonald&#8217;s analysis contrasts with Council of Economic Advisers Chair Stephen Miran, who previously argued tariffs during Trump&#8217;s first term didn&#8217;t cause inflation due to &#8220;currency offset&#8221; as <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44469320/sp-500-dollar-index-decline-together-for-1st-time-since-2008-financial-crisis">the dollar strengthened</a>.

Trump's 'Liberation Day' Tariffs Could Fuel Inflation After $16 Trillion Fiscal Surge, Lawrence McDonald Warns

Allianz Chief Economic Advisor Mohamed El-Erian highlighted a significant shift in Goldman Sachs&#8216; outlook for the U.S. economy, noting that the investment bank has given its economic projections a &#8220;stagflationary twist.&#8221;
What Happened: El-Erian noted on X that Goldman Sachs economists have added a &#8220;stagflationary twist&#8221; to their U.S. economic outlook. 
He highlighted that the firm raised its 2025 personal consumption expenditures inflation forecast— the Federal Reserve's preferred gauge— by 0.5 percentage points to 3.5%, while projecting gross domestic product growth to slow to 1.0% on a quarter-over-quarter basis.
Goldman Sachs has increased its U.S. recession probability from 20% to 35%, El-Erian notes, an increase of 75%.
This revised outlook comes amid broader economic concerns. S&amp;P 500, tracked by The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) and the U.S. Dollar Index, has declined simultaneously, a pattern not seen since the 2008 financial crisis, signaling <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44469320/sp-500-dollar-index-decline-together-for-1st-time-since-2008-financial-crisis">potential economic instability</a>.

However, Wilding added they expect any recession would be &#8220;light&#8221; and the economy would &#8220;come out of it relatively quickly.&#8221;
El-Erian noted that this week will be packed with key economic reports, including the monthly employment data, the Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey, the Institute for Supply Management&#8217;s business activity index, and retail sales figures. 
Additionally, markets will be watching the Apr. 2 tariff announcement and remarks from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell and other officials.

Wall Street On Edge: Futures Slide Ahead of Trump's 'Liberation Day' Tariff Shock

Markets faltered on Friday, with Wall Street reeling as investors hurried to shed risk in the face of mounting <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44537936/consumer-inflation-expectations-skyrocket-in-march-hit-highest-levels-in-32-years">inflation and tariff uncertainties.</a>
The S&amp;P 500 fell 2.1% by 1:30 p.m. trading in New York, on track to end the week with losses. The tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 tumbled 2.6%, and the Dow fell 1.7%. 
All members of the Magnificent Seven group were in the red, with Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) and Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) marking the widest drops, both down 4.4%.
Earlier on Friday, the Fed's favorite inflation gauge – the core Personal Consumption Expenditure price index – rose 2.8% on a yearly basis in February, surprising estimates of 2.7%. 
Investor anxiety deepened following the latest University of Michigan Survey of Consumers, which showed 5-year forward inflation expectations jumping to 4.1% — a 0.2-point increase from prior estimates and the highest reading since February 1993. As stocks fell in unison, a flight to safety ensued, sending gold up 1% to a record-breaking $3,090 per ounce. Treasury bonds also rallied, with yields declining across all maturities. 
Price action in commodities was mixed with oil down 1% and natural gas up 2.4%. Sentiment in crypto also took a sharp hit, with Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) down by 4% to below $84,000, flipping to weekly losses.

Inflation Fears Spark Risk-Off Sentiment As Magnificent 7 Drop: What's Driving Markets Friday?

Major indexes are lower following a greater-than-expected rise in the code PCE price index in February while personal spending missed estimates. Additionally, auto stocks continued lower following recent tariff announcements.

Major indexes are lower amid weakness in auto stocks following new US auto tariffs.

Wall Street dipped slightly on Thursday, with all major indexes edging into the red as investors digested President Donald Trump&#8216;s latest <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/03/44517885/trump-slaps-25-tariffs-on-autos-what-it-means-for-your-next-car-purchase">move on auto tariffs.</a>
Late Wednesday, Trump announced a 25% tariff on all auto imports starting next week, with duties on auto parts set to follow in May.
European automakers took a hit, with Mercedes-Benz Group AG (OTCPK: MBGAF) and Porsche Automobile Holding SE (OTCPK: POAHF) sliding 2.5% and 5%, respectively. 
Michigan-based carmakers didn't fare much better. Shares of Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) fell 2.5%, while General Motors Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) plunged 6.5%, with the latter marking the worst performance on the S&amp;P 500.
In contrast, U.S. electric vehicle makers rallied. Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) rose 2.6%, and Rivian Automotive Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIVN#NASDAQ">RIVN</a>) jumped 5%. The rally followed comments from Goldman Sachs analyst Mark Delenay, who pointed to their fully domestic production as a significant advantage <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44515578/trumps-25-tariff-set-to-hike-imported-car-prices-up-to-15000-higher-goldman-sachs-warns">under the new tariffs.</a>
Meanwhile, gold extended its rally, climbing over 1% and testing record highs as the U.S. dollar softened. Silver gained 2%, while copper pulled back 2% after a strong run that had lifted it to all-time highs.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) held firm at $86,875, signaling a cautious tone across the crypto market.

Stocks Slide As Auto Tariffs Boost Tesla, Rivian And Hit GM, Ford: What's Driving Markets Thursday?

Wall Street received some positive data Thursday morning after the Bureau of Economic Analysis upwardly revised U.S. gross domestic product growth for the fourth quarter of 2024. But, experts are concerned about upcoming GDP estimates as the effects of new<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/03/44513963/us-gdp-growth-upwardly-revised-in-q4-trade-deficit-slightly-narrows-as-auto-exports-soar-in-february"> trade policies are felt. </a>
The Data: The Bureau of Economic Analysis said the economy grew at an annualized rate of 2.4% in the fourth quarter of 2024, a slight increase from the earlier estimate of 2.3%.
The data also indicated a deceleration compared to the 3.1% growth observed in the third quarter.

The report revealed that the rise in real GDP during the fourth quarter was mainly driven by increased consumer and government spending, partially offset by a decline in investment. Imports also decreased, negatively impacting GDP calculations. 
Experts React: Most experts agree that the U.S. economy remained strong through the end of 2024. However, there could be turbulence ahead as the effects of tariffs and trade policies begin to show in the data.&nbsp;
Jamie Cox, managing partner for Harris Financial Group, said fourth-quarter GDP was strong, but expressed concern about the first-quarter GDP report.&nbsp;
"Hard to see recession in these data, but the real test will be the initial read on Q1 2025 GDP, when the trade shocks feed into the numbers. That may not look so rosy," Cox warned.&nbsp;
Joseph Brusuelas, chief economist at RSM, <a href="https://x.com/joebrusuelas/status/1905242573075030144">said</a> that although the economy ended 2024 in good shape, there could be major changes ahead in the first-quarter data related to tariffs and policy changes.&nbsp;

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">At the end of 2024 US gross domestic income grew at 4.5% pace. The average of GDP/GDI was 3.5%.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Chief economist for Comerica Bank Bill Adams gave an even more gloomy forecast saying, "The first quarter GDP report will be ugly, in large part due to a drag from trade."&nbsp;
Alan Blinder, former Federal Reserve vice chair, expressed similar sentiments during an interview with CNBC on Wednesday. He predicted Trump's tariffs will lead to lower growth and hurt the U.S. economy.&nbsp;
"I'm worried about it staying above zero … Negative GDP growth is more likely than not," Blinder said.&nbsp;
Markets React: The three major indexes are mixed in Thursday's midday trading. Stocks are attempting to rebound from earlier losses as Wall Street digests Trump's latest tariff announcements and the morning's economic data releases.&nbsp;
The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>), tracking the S&amp;P 500, was down 0.13% at $567.86, the SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIA#NYSE">DIA</a>) was down 0.31% at $422.91 and the Invesco QQQ Trust (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), tracking the Nasdaq 100 index, was down 0.27% at $483.05 at the time of publication Thursday.

'Negative GDP Growth Is More Likely Than Not' In Q1, Economist Warns

U.S. stocks declined on Wednesday, with all major indices in the red by midday in New York, as renewed concerns <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/tariffs">over tariffs rattled investors.</a>
President Donald Trump signaled that new trade duties on automobiles could be announced as early as today, while market participants are also bracing for April 2, which marks the start of reciprocal tariffs.
Technology shares, particularly semiconductor stocks, led the selloff, dragging the Nasdaq 100 sharply lower and trimming much of its weekly gains. Shares of Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) tumbled 5.9%, on track for the worst daily loss since early March, as investors fear further restrictions on chip exports to China. The iShares Semiconductor ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NYSE">SOXX</a>) fell 3.4%. 
Meanwhile, blue-chip stocks in the Dow Jones Industrial Average were more resilient, supported by strength in the energy and consumer staples sectors. The CBOE Volatility Index (VIX), Wall Street's so-called "fear gauge," jumped 8% to 18.9.
The dollar and Treasury yields remained flat, reflecting a wait-and-see stance in the bond market amid uncertainty over the broader economic impact of potential tariffs.
In commodities, crude oil rose 1.4%, extending weekly gains to 2.5%—on track for its best week since early January—after a surprise drop in commercial inventories. Metals held steady, with copper holding record highs.
Bitcoin slipped 1% to $86,500 following a flat close the previous day.

Short Interest On US Stocks Has Spiked To The Highest Levels Since The 2020 Pandemic.

The S&P 500 12-Month Forward Price-To-Earnings Ratio Is Now Trading Near Its 5-Year Average

Wall Street&#8217;s recovery from its recent technical correction paused for a breather on Tuesday, as investors awaited more clarity on tariff developments and digested a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/03/44475192/consumer-confidence-falls-to-lowest-since-2022-as-inflation-tariff-worries-grow">downbeat consumer confidence report.</a>
The Conference Board's Consumer Confidence Index dropped to 92.9 in March, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/03/44475192/consumer-confidence-falls-to-lowest-since-2022-as-inflation-tariff-worries-grow">its lowest reading since late 2022</a>. The Expectations Index plunged to 65.2 — a level not seen since 2013 — reflecting growing pessimism. The report cited rising prices, especially for eggs and tariff-affected goods, as key concerns. Inflation expectations also climbed, from 5.8% in February to 6.2% in March.
The S&amp;P 500 and Dow were flat on the day, while the Nasdaq 100 edged slightly higher, supported by gains in cybersecurity stocks.
Copper took center stage, jumping over 2% to hit new record highs. Demand is surging in both China and the U.S., fueled by<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/03/44476803/copper-breaks-records-on-china-stimulus-tariff-hype-these-stocks-are-riding-the-wave"> policy stimulus and tariff-related shifts.</a>
Shares of Freeport McMoRan Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FCX#NYSE">FCX</a>), the largest U.S. copper miner, rose 3.3%, extending gains in 10 of the last 11 sessions.

Wall Street Pauses For A Breather, Miners Rally As Copper Notches All-Time Highs: What's Driving Markets Tuesday?

Wall Street soared Monday, kicking off the week in full risk-on mode as investors welcomed signs of easing trade tensions and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/03/44459470/us-business-activity-rebounds-as-services-growth-outpaces-forecasts-yet-cost-pressures-intensify">stronger-than-expected economic data. </a>
President Donald Trump&#8216;s softer tone on potential tariffs ahead of the looming April 2, 2025 deadline helped calm nerves. Adding to the optimism, fresh business surveys showed a strong rebound in services activity in March, easing recession worries.
U.S. economic activity accelerated in March, with the Composite Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) rising rom 51.6 in February to to 53.5. Services PMI jumped to 54.3 — well above consensus forecasts of 50.8 and sharply higher than the prior month's 51.0 reading. Yet, the report also flagged a notable uptick in cost pressures, as businesses reported growing concerns over input prices, likely linked to heightened speculation around potential tariff measures.
The S&amp;P 500 jumped 1.75% by midday in New York, on track for its best one-day performance since mid-January. The Nasdaq 100 rallied 2%, mirroring gains from March 14 — the index's strongest day since early November 2024.
Small caps outperformed their large-cap peers, underscoring the market's improving risk appetite. The Russell 2000 surged 2.8%, marking its best session since the post-election rally on Nov. 6, 2024.
Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) led the charge on both the S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq 100, soaring 9.8%, on track for its sharpest one-day gain since early November.
All seven mega-cap tech stocks posted solid gains, with the Roundhill Magnificent Seven ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MAGS#NYSE">MAGS</a>) climbing 2.9% after Friday's 1.4% rise, setting up what could be its strongest two-day advance since early January.
Every S&amp;P 500 sector, except utilities, traded in positive territory, with consumer discretionary and technology leading the pack.
The U.S. dollar index edged higher, eyeing a fourth consecutive session of gains. Meanwhile, Treasury yields spiked across the curve as investors rotated out of safe-haven assets. The 10-year yield jumped seven basis points to 4.32%, while the iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLT#NASDAQ">TLT</a>) dropped 0.9%.
Gold pulled back 0.3% to $3,014 per ounce, on pace for its third straight decline, as investors favored riskier assets.
Oil prices gained 1.5% after Trump threatened a 25% tariff on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/03/44460897/oil-prices-rally-exxon-hits-16-week-highs-as-trump-vows-25-tariffs-on-any-country-buying-venezuelan-crude">countries importing Venezuelan crude.</a>
Crypto-related assets also rallied. Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) climbed 2.7% to $88,400, while MicroStrategy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) jumped 7.4% and Coinbase Global Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>) rose 6.2%.

S&P 500 Rallies On Best Day In 2 Months As Recession Fears Ease, Tesla Rockets, Bitcoin Hits $88,000: What's Driving Markets Monday?

Major indexes are higher amid reports suggesting tariffs could be narrower and more targeted.

Wall Street remains in the red heading into the end of the week, with major indexes posting modest midday losses in New York, though well off <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets">the session&#8217;s earlier lows.</a>
At a White House event, President Donald Trump said there would be flexibility on the upcoming tariffs, easing investor concerns that their planned implementation on April 2 could trigger major disruptions.

The news helped improve risk sentiment in equities, while gold is having its worst session since late February, down 1% as traders scale back positions in safe-haven assets.
The U.S. dollar reversed course to notch weekly gains after two consecutive weeks of losses. Among mega-cap stocks, Boeing Co.

(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) led the way, climbing 4.9% and 4.2%, respectively.
Boeing, up 11% for the week, is on track for its strongest weekly performance since July 2023 after securing a multibillion-dollar contract to design and build a next-generation fighter jet for the U.S. Air Force—beating out rival Lockheed Martin Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LMT#NYSE">LMT</a>), which fell 6%.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) dipped 0.4% to below $84,000 but is still holding onto weekly gains.

Wall Street Trims Losses As Boeing Eyes Best Week In Nearly 2 Years: What's Driving Markets Friday?

U.S. stocks traded sideways on Thursday as investors digested Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's remarks on inflation and tariffs following the Federal Open Market<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/03/44405112/tariff-inflation-may-be-transitory-powell-says-stocks-rally-bitcoin-clears-85000-as-bulls-return"> Committee meeting on Wednesday.</a> 
Powell downplayed concerns that tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump could reignite inflation, calling their impact "transitory." Yet, the Fed's latest projections signaled slower economic growth, rising unemployment and hotter inflation. 
By midday in New York, major indexes were little changed, with financial stocks leading modest gains. 
Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) extended its rally to fresh record highs, on track for a sixth consecutive positive session. The stock's year-to-date outperformance over the S&amp;P 500 has widened to 20 percentage points.
In commodities, gold edged lower as the U.S. dollar strengthened, while Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) slid 2.8%, dipping below $85,000. Oil prices jumped 1.5% to $67 per barrel amid escalating geopolitical tensions, as Israel launched a new ground operation in Gaza, breaking a two-month ceasefire.
