Wall Street bounces back on Tuesday after the long weekend, posting solid gains in response to President Trump's decision to delay the threat of 50% tariffs on imports from the European Union. US500 is up 0.25%, US100 is trading 0.50% higher, and US2000 records a 0.55% increase.
The tariff delay pushes the trade negotiation deadline to July 9, easing concerns about escalating tensions between the U.S. and the EU. This helped improve sentiment after last week’s drop, driven by worries over public debt and uncertainty regarding tariffs.
Investor optimism was further boosted by better-than-expected consumer confidence data and broad gains across sectors, particularly in technology and consumer discretionary. The market is also preparing for upcoming macroeconomic data, including the Fed meeting minutes, the latest PCE inflation reading, and the revised GDP figure.
