2025/04/10

Stocks fell Thursday, giving back some of the gains from the historic rally seen in the previous session after President Donald Trump announced a 90-day reprieve on some of his "reciprocal" tariffs. Investors worried that even with the short pause on some of the duties, economic activity will be slowed by Trump's singling out of China with a much higher rate. The S&P 500 sold off 3.46% and closed at 5,268.05, while the Nasdaq Composite slid 4.31% to end at 16,387.31. The Dow Jones I...

The ASX 200 rose 167 points to 7510 in a Tuesday turnaround. Buoyed by hopes that the tariffs are still negotiable and the US futures showing a good start at least.

The ASX 200 finished down only 75 points to 7860 (0.9%) as it bounced solidly from support at 7800.
