Market Recap
On Thursday, US stocks extended their gains from Wednesday, with the Nasdaq closing at a new all-time high. Former President Trump clarified that the likelihood of firing Fed Chair Jerome Powell is “very low.” Investors are digesting earnings results from major banks. Meanwhile, US June PPI came in flat, falling short of expectations.
Trump announced on Wednesday that he plans to send tariff notices to over 150 countries — a move that underscores his continued push on trade policy and signals higher pressure on US trading partners.
“We will be sending payment notices to over 150 countries, each indicating specific tariff rates,” Trump said during a press briefing at the White House. “For these countries, the rates will be uniform.”
Vas Gkionakis, Senior Economist and Strategist at Aviva Investors, commented:
“So far, we haven’t seen significant transmission of tariffs into inflation data. That might still happen, but for now, we can only wait and see both the timing and scale.”
On the corporate front, Tesla shares rose more than 3% following reports that Tesla China will “reintroduce” the long-range version of the Model 3.
The vehicle is expected to be priced around ¥270,000 and could debut as early as September — potentially becoming Tesla’s longest-range model to date.
