U.S. Stocks Little Changed Despite Trump’s New Tariff Threats

Stocks have shown a lack of direction over the course of the trading session on Monday, with the major averages bouncing back and forth across the unchanged line following the modest pullback seen during last Friday’s session.

Currently, the major averages are narrowly mixed. While the Nasdaq is up 33.86 points or 0.2 percent at 20,619.38, the Dow is down 10.50 points or less than a tenth of a percent at 44,361.01 and the S&P 500 1.51 points or less than a tenth of a percent at 6,258.24.

Trump claimed in a post on Truth Social early this morning that the U.S. has been “ripen off” on trade for decades, costing the country trillions of dollars.

The Dow slid 279.13 points or 0.6 percent to 44,371.51, the Nasdaq slipped 45.14 points or 0.2 percent to 20,585.53 and the S&P 500 fell 20.71 points or 0.3 percent to 6,259.75.

The weakness on Wall Street came amid renewed concerns about President Donald Trump’s escalating trade battles.

In a letter to Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney posted on Truth Social, Trump announced a 35 percent tariff on Canadian imports effective August 1st.

Trump said the tariffs were partly due to Canada’s failure to stop fentanyl from “pouring” into the U.S. and threatened to raise tariffs further if Canada retaliates.

“If Canada works with me to stop the flow of Fentanyl, we will, perhaps, consider an adjustment to this letter,” Trump said.
