US stock market session started the day lower, as investor confidence took a hit following former President Donald Trump's new proposal for tariffs on pharmaceutical imports. This added to concerns already weighing on the market due to neutral corporate earnings. At the opening bell, US100 fell by 1.30% to 19700 points, US500 drops by 1.00% to 6815 points and US2000 by 1.20% to 1987 points.
US100
The index of the largest companies, US500, pulls back after encountering resistance just below the 5730-point area. From a technical perspective, a correction after the recent gains is understandable. From a fundamental perspective, however, the latest rally was driven by verbal interventions from the U.S. administration, which have not yet been followed by any trade agreements. Although, based on recent assurances, such deals are expected in the coming weeks.
