  • At the same time, Trump opened a new front in his trade war with a directive for 25% secondary tariffs on any country that buys oil or gas from Venezuela. That initially sent oil prices higher, but the impact was offset somewhat by relief from Black Sea maritime security deals struck by the U.S. in the war in Ukraine.

The article from MSN Money discusses the recent movements in the U.S. stock market and the U.S. dollar, influenced by uncertainties surrounding former President Donald Trump's potential tariff policies. Stocks experienced gains, with the S&P 500, Dow Jones Industrial Average, and Nasdaq all showing positive closes. This market reaction comes amidst speculation on how Trump's proposed tariffs, particularly a 10% across-the-board tariff on imports and a 60% tariff on Chinese goods, might affect global trade and inflation. The U.S. dollar, however, showed a slight drift, reflecting mixed sentiments as investors weigh the implications of these potential policy changes. The article also notes that while Trump's tariff plans could lead to higher inflation, the market's response has been somewhat muted, possibly due to doubts about the feasibility and implementation of such drastic measures. Additionally, the article touches on other economic indicators like Treasury yields and oil prices, which also play into the broader market dynamics.
