Wall Street holds firm after Trump’s latest tariff escalation

LA Times  

Trader Jonathan Mueller works on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange this month. Wall Street held relatively firm Tuesday after President Trump’s latest tariff escalation and after the Federal Reserve hinted that interest rates may not change for a while. Most of Wall Street agrees that substantial and sustained tariffs would push up prices for U.S. households and ultimately lead to big pain for financial markets around the world. The European Union’s chief, Ursula von der Leyen, said Tuesday that “unjustified tariffs on the EU will not go unanswered — they will trigger firm and proportionate countermeasures.” But trading remained mostly calm in part because Trump has shown he can be quick to pull back on such threats. The insurer and healthcare company offered a forecast for profit in 2025 that fell short of Wall Street’s expectations.
