Investor watches markets

The protests in China are having a negative impact on cryptocurrencies and markets around the world.

Bitcoin failed to break its descent and fell more than 3 percent.

The global crypto market cap fell over 2%, sending major cryptos into the red.

Over the last 24 hours, overall crypto market volume grew by 22%.

It comes amid a round of investor nervousness in global markets spurred by protests in China against Covid restrictions.

Protesters outraged by harsh COVID-19 regulations called for China’s strong leader to quit.

China is the world’s second-largest economy and has a significant impact on global financial markets.

Stocks and cryptos aren’t considered safe havens, leading to bearing price action.

Analysts are hoping for a sharp bullish reversal if and when the protests end.

Stocks drop as tariffs worry investors; gold hits record high; Canada resists U.S. annexation talk.

In Short:
Stock indexes declined on Tuesday after a nine-day winning streak, while gold prices soared amid economic concerns. Major companies like Ford and Mattel adjusted forecasts due to tariff impacts, and the trade deficit hit a record high of $140.5 billion.

Stock indexes fell on Tuesday, following declines in the Dow and S&P 500 after a nine-day winning streak.

Gold prices reached a new record as markets reacted to ongoing economic concerns.

The downturn persisted following a meeting between Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and President Trump, where Carney rejected any notion of Canada being for sale.

Investors showed continued apprehension about the impact of U.S. tariffs and the absence of new trade agreements, particularly as major companies like Ford and Mattel suspended annual guidance due to tariff uncertainties.

Ford impact

Ford, while less affected than competitors, estimated potential tariff impacts could reduce profits by $1.5 billion, prompting a 2.8% increase in its stock.

In contrast, Mattel’s stock rose by 2.6% after it signalled a potential increase in U.S. toy prices, anticipating a $270 million hit from tariffs, while also planning to move manufacturing from China.

Both WK Kellogg and Marriott International adjusted their financial forecasts downward due to tariff-related challenges and broader economic uncertainties.

Clorox shares fell sharply after the company updated its guidance to reflect tariff impacts.

Additionally, President Trump indicated he would announce the details regarding pharmaceutical tariffs within two weeks.

On a related note, new data revealed the trade deficit reached a record $140.5 billion in March, exceeding economists’ expectations and reflecting a surge in imports amid trade policy changes.

S&P 500 and Nasdaq decline amid Donald Trump’s new tariffs announcement, raising investor concerns ahead of Fed policy meeting.

In Short:
The S&P 500 and Nasdaq fell slightly after President Trump’s 100% tariff on foreign films, with investors worried about market effects ahead of the Federal Reserve’s policy decision. Despite some stocks performing well, overall market volatility and concerns over corporate profitability continue.

The S&P 500 and Nasdaq experienced slight declines on Monday following President Donald Trump’s announcement of a 100% tariff on foreign-produced movies.

Investors are assessing how this new tariff will impact the market ahead of the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy decision later this week.

The major indices have shown volatility since Trump initiated tariffs on April 2, briefly dropping 15% before recovering in the following sessions.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent expressed confidence that Trump’s tariff and tax agenda would stimulate long-term investments in the U.S., despite expected short-term market fluctuations.

Markets drop

The Dow Jones Industrial Average increased by 104.18 points, while the S&P 500 decreased by 9.60 points and Nasdaq fell by 39.60 points.

Despite Trump’s announcement, some media stocks showed resilience, while energy stocks suffered losses amid OPEC+ output hikes.

Investors await the Federal Reserve’s upcoming policy announcement, where rates are anticipated to remain unchanged, though future cuts are being priced in for 2025.

Corporate profitability concerns persist due to the new tariffs, evidenced by Tyson Foods’ significant revenue miss, while Skechers reported gains following its plan to go private.
