Shares of machinery companies are higher after the US and China agreed to a temporary reduction in most tariffs on each other's goods. A reduction in tariffs could alleviate some supply chain concerns and improve macro sentiment as well as demand visibility.

Wall Street staged a robust rally Monday following the U.S.-China trade truce that slashed reciprocal tariffs by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/tariffs">over 100 percentage points</a>.
By midday, risk-on sentiment was running at full throttle, propelling the Nasdaq 100 up 3.5% and lifting the S&amp;P 500 by 2.7% to 5,815.43—its highest level since March. The Dow Jones surged 958 points, or 2.3%, while the small-cap Russell 2000 added 3%.
Under the 90-day reprieve, the U.S. will cut tariffs on Chinese goods from 145% to 30%. China, in turn, will lower its tariffs on U.S. goods from 125% to 10%, effective May 14. The two countries also agreed to launch a formal mechanism for ongoing economic consultations, easing fears of a permanent decoupling.
U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the agreement followed "very robust discussions" in Geneva

Sector-wise, chipmakers led the rally, with the iShares Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NASDAQ">SOXX</a>) jumping 7.2%. Marvell Technology Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRVL#NASDAQ">MRVL</a>) and Micron Technology Inc.

While equities soared, gold suffered its worst day since Trump's election victory in November 2024. Gold prices dropped 3%, falling below $3,230 per ounce, as investors rotated out of safe havens and into risk assets.
The U.S. dollar index surged 1.3% to 101.8. The short-end of the curve also jumped, driven by fading expectations for near-term Fed rate cuts, with 2-year yields up 10 basis points to 4.0%. Yields on 30-year Treasury bonds climbed to 4.87%,
Oil prices rose 2% to $62.30 per barrel, reaching their highest level since late April amid hopes of a demand boost from improved global trade conditions.

NRG Energy Posts Upbeat Earnings, Joins Tesla, Apple, Amazon And Other Big Stocks Moving Higher On Monday

The United States and China agreed to slash their retaliatory tariffs by over 100 percentage points, pausing a spiraling trade war that had threatened<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s"> to choke global growth.</a>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What's In The Deal?</h3>
The agreement establishes a 90-day reset, slashing U.S. tariffs on Chinese goods from 145% to 30%, and Chinese tariffs on U.S. goods from 125% to 10%, starting May 14. 
The decision stems from high-level negotiations in Geneva, led by U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and China's Vice Premier He Lifeng.
The truce halts one of the steepest protectionist escalations in recent history, following President Donald Trump's aggressive "Liberation Day" trade tariffs launched on April 2.
"We reached an agreement on a 90-day pause and substantially moved down the tariff levels," Bessent said in a press conference. 
"Both countries represented their national interests very well, but we concluded we have shared interest in balanced trade."
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Tariff Truce Cools Recession And Inflation Risks</h3>
The tariff rollback offers more than diplomatic relief — it also addresses growing fears of a U.S. economic slowdown and resurgent inflation. By averting the triple-digit import taxes that threatened to choke global trade, the deal removes a significant source of economic uncertainty that had weighed on business investment and consumer confidence.
Recession probabilities have sharply declined in response. 
The latest market-based forecast from Kalshi shows a 46% chance of a U.S. recession this year, down from 60% at the end of April, reflecting improving sentiment. Notably, consumer spending and corporate earnings had begun showing early signs of strain under the tariff shock imposed in April.
On the inflation front, the agreement is expected to ease price pressures on goods most impacted by the trade war — including electronics, automotive parts and industrial equipment.
Ahead of Tuesday's official April Consumer Price Index report, economists expect a return to monthly inflation growth: headline prices are forecast to rise 0.3%, reversing March's 0.1% dip. Core inflation is also expected to rise 0.3%, while annual inflation rates are seen holding steady at 2.4% for headline and 2.8% for core.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Why Markets Cheered</h3>
U.S. equity futures soared as the news hit, with futures on the S&amp;P 500 climbing 3.13% to 5,836.66, those on the Nasdaq 100 jumping 4.05%, and Dow futures up 2.62%. 
The U.S. dollar index – as tracked by the Invesco DB USD Index Bullish Fund ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UUP#NYSE">UUP</a>) – surged 1.4%, with the greenback rallying 2% against the Japanese yen. 
Meanwhile, 2-year Treasury yields rose 10 basis points to 4%, as traders dialed back expectations for a near-term Federal Reserve rate cut. The odds of a June cut fell to 11%, down from 25% a week ago, per CME FedWatch.
Gold – as tracked by the SPDR Gold Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLD#NYSE">GLD</a>) – dropped 2.9%, with investors rotating out of safe havens, and oil climbed 3.9% to $63.40 amid improving global demand prospects.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Who Wins On Wall Street?</h3>
U.S. equities rallied sharply as investors welcomed the truce between Washington and Beijing. 
Trade-sensitive and consumer-facing stocks led the premarket advance, reflecting relief over lower input costs and reduced supply chain disruption. Technology and industrials also posted notable gains.

11 Industrials Stocks Moving In Monday's Pre-Market Session

JP Morgan analyst Michael Rehaut reiterated an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/SWK/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Underweight rating</a> on the shares of Stanley Black &amp; Decker Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SWK#NYSE">SWK</a>) on May 2 and lowered the price forecast from $93.00 to $60.00.
The analyst outlined the main insights following Stanley Black &amp; Decker's first-quarter earnings call. As for first-quarter fiscal 2025 performance, net sales declined 3%, though he said organic growth excluding currency impacts rose 1%, aligning with our 2% forecast and company expectations.
Demand for the professional segment remained healthy, while the consumer and DIY categories stayed weak.
The company lowered its 2025 operating earnings per share forecast to $4.50, down from the prior midpoint estimate of $5.25, largely due to an anticipated $0.75 per share drag from tariffs.
On the revenue front, SWK now expects total and organic sales (excluding foreign exchange) to grow at a low single-digit pace, slightly better than previous guidance, which had called for flat growth with a ±150 basis point range.

Organic growth expectations now sit in the low to mid-single digits, supported by mid-single-digit pricing increases driven mainly by tariffs compared to earlier guidance of modest pricing impact. 
To mitigate tariff effects, SWK introduced a high single-digit average price hike across U.S. retail channels in April and plans another price increase at the beginning of the third quarter, which could exceed the April hike. 
The company estimates annualized gross tariff exposure at $1.7 billion, with $900 million to $1.1 billion hitting in 2025. Price increases are expected to offset most of this, except for an estimated $140 million, mostly concentrated in the second quarter due to timing mismatches, translating to roughly $0.75 per share in impact.
Given these developments, the analyst has reduced 2025 and 2026 operating EPS estimates to $3.72 and $5.24, respectively, from $5.05 and $6.17. 
Looking at the long term, the company plans to shift its supply chain over the next 12 to 24 months to reduce tariff exposure.
That includes a complete exit from China and an increase in sourcing compliant with USMCA regulations via operations in Mexico, which the company described as a relatively straightforward process.
While the analyst still sees room for improved earnings visibility as home sales and remodeling activity stabilize over the next one to two years, the analyst&#8217;s more cautious forecast justifies a lower valuation. 
Price Action: SWK shares traded lower by 1.89% at $60.23 at last check on Monday.

Wall Street traded lower on the final session of the month, heading for its third consecutive monthly loss as economic data began reflecting the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/donald-trump">impact of Trump tariffs.</a>
U.S. GDP shrank by 0.3% in the last quarter, marking the first economic contraction since 2022 and missing forecasts for a 0.4% expansion. The decline was driven by a surge in imports and reduced government spending.
Labor market data also disappointed. The ADP National Employment Report showed private employers added just 62,000 jobs in April—the weakest gain in nine months and well below the expected 108,000.
By midday in New York, the S&amp;P 500 was down 1% to 5,500, on pace to end a six-day winning streak. Tech stocks in the Nasdaq 100 lagged ahead of earnings from industry titans Microsoft Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NYSE">MSFT</a>) and Meta Platforms Inc.
Nine of the S&amp;P 500's eleven sectors were in the red, with only consumer staples and health care posting modest gains. Energy and consumer discretionary led the losses, falling 3.3% and 2.7%, respectively.
Commodities were broadly lower. Oil tumbled 3.7% to $58 a barrel, approaching its lowest close since March 2021. Copper—often seen as a gauge of global growth—plunged 5.2% to $4.60 per pound. Natural gas declined 2.5% to $3.17 per million British thermal units.
Bond markets were steady, with the 10-year Treasury yield hovering at 4.17%. Gold dipped 0.3% to $3,330 per ounce, while the U.S. dollar index (DXY) strengthened by the same margin.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) showed resilience, holding steady at around $93,000 despite broader market weakness.

Wall Street Falls On Weak Economic Data As Oil Slumps To $58: What's Driving Markets Wednesday

Stanley Black &amp; Decker Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SWK#NYSE">SWK</a>) shares are trading down after the company<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/04/n45093661/stanley-black-decker-reports-1q-2025-results" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> reported first-quarter 2025 results</a>.
According to the earnings release:
<ul>
<li>Sales declined&nbsp;3%&nbsp;year over year (Y/Y) to&nbsp;$3.74 billion, beating the street view of $3.69 billion.</li>
<li>Quarterly net sales were impacted by currency (-2%) and the Infrastructure divestiture (-2%), partly negated by volume growth (+1%).</li>
<li>Gross profit increased&nbsp;to&nbsp;$1.12 billion from $1.11 billion a year ago, and the gross margin expanded by 130 basis points Y/Y to&nbsp;29.9%.</li>
<li>The adjusted gross margin was&nbsp;30.4%, up 140&nbsp;bps Y/Y, benefitting from supply chain transformation efficiency and new product launches.</li>
<li>EBITDA margin expanded to&nbsp;8.9% from&nbsp;7.1%&nbsp;a year ago quarter, while adjusted EBITDA margin increased to&nbsp;9.7%&nbsp;from&nbsp;8.9% from the prior-year quarter.</li>
<li>Adjusted EPS of&nbsp;75 cents <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">beat the analyst consensus of 66 cents.</a></li>
<li>Tools &amp; Outdoor net sales remained flat Y/Y, with&nbsp;1%&nbsp;Y/Y volume growth offset by currency (-1%), driving&nbsp;1%&nbsp;organic revenue growth. Tools &amp; Outdoor segment margin was&nbsp;8.8%, up 100 bps Y/Y, and adjusted segment&nbsp;margin rose 110&nbsp;bps Y/Y to 9.6%, supported by supply chain transformation and product launches.</li>
<li>Engineered Fastening (formerly known as Industrial) net sales declined&nbsp;21%&nbsp;Y/Y, with a 1% decrease in organic sales. Margin dropped to&nbsp;8.4%&nbsp;from&nbsp;11.1%&nbsp;and an adjusted margin was&nbsp;10.1%&nbsp;vs.&nbsp;12.1%, primarily due to lower automotive volume.</li>
<li>Operating cash outflow for the quarter was&nbsp;$420 million, compared to&nbsp;an outflow of $431 million&nbsp;a year ago.</li>
<li>Stanley held $344.8 million in cash and cash equivalents as of March 29, 2025.</li>
</ul>
Outlook: In response to recent U.S. policy actions aimed at safeguarding gross margins, Stanley Black &amp; Decker implemented a high-single-digit price increase for its U.S. Tools &amp; Outdoor products in April and plans a second increase at the start of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">third quarter</a>.
The company is also accelerating a 12-24 month supply chain shift towards Mexico to reduce China tariff costs, leveraging their strong North American footprint.
The net negative 2025 EPS impact from tariffs, after price and supply chain adjustments, is estimated at around 75 cents.
For 2025, Stanley Black &amp; Decker:
<ul>
<li>Projects a 2025 GAAP EPS of $3.30 (+/- $0.15).</li>
<li>Lowered its FY25 adjusted EPS guidance to $4.50, down (from the previous range of $4.75-$5.75) vs. the consensus estimate of $4.86.</li>
<li>Continues to expect free cash flow for the year to meet or exceed $500 million.</li>
</ul>
Investors can gain exposure to the stock via VictoryShares Dividend Accelerator ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VSDA#NASDAQ">VSDA</a>).
Price Action:&nbsp;SWK shares are up 2.78% at $62.96 premarket at the last check Wednesday.
