President Trump Posts On Truth Social Jerome Powell Is 'Too Late' To Cut Interest Rates, Compares Fed To European Central Bank

On Wednesday, April 16, U.S. markets closed lower after Nvidia warned of $5.5 billion in charges from new U.S. export curbs to China. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell pointed to slowing economic growth and rising inflation risks due to tariffs, further weighing on investor sentiment amid ongoing U.S.-China trade tensions.
According to economic data, U.S. industrial production declined by 0.3% in March, slightly worse than the expected drop of 0.2%. However, retail sales rose 1.4% month-over-month, surpassing the previous month&#8217;s 0.2% increase and the forecasted 1.3% gain.

Gains in Bank of America and Citigroup provided some support, though bank executives warned of risks to consumer spending if trade tensions persist. Boeing <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/04/44822589/boeing-stock-is-sliding-tuesday-whats-going-on" rel="noreferrer noopener">fell</a> after China suspended jet deliveries, while the auto and pharmaceutical sectors also came under pressure from new tariff threats.
On the economic front, the NY Empire State Manufacturing Index improved to -8.1 in April from -20 in March. Export prices were unchanged in March, while import prices declined by 0.1% following a 0.2% gain in February.
Most S&amp;P 500 sectors ended the day lower, led by losses in consumer-related stocks, though information technology and real estate outperformed, closing higher amid broader market weakness.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.38% to 40,368.96, the S&amp;P 500 slipped 0.17% to 5,396.63, and the Nasdaq Composite edged down 0.05% to 16,823.17.

U.S. Market Index's Move Sharply Lower; Bloomberg Reports "EU Expects U.S. Tariffs To Remain As Talks Make Little Progress"

Most S&amp;P 500 sectors advanced—real estate, utilities, and consumer staples led—while consumer discretionary lagged. Analysts flagged a potential &#8220;death cross&#8221; in the S&amp;P 500, signaling possible longer-term weakness.

Asia And Europe Markets Gain On Partial US Reciprocal Tariff Exemptions; Dollar Hits Multi-Month Low - Global Markets Today While US Slept

Karoline Leavitt Says President Trump Has Made It Clear He Is Open To A Deal With China; Tariff Rate On China Remains 145% Level; Trump Going To Saudi Trip, Could Be More Countries; Confirms Witkoff In Russia For Direct Communications With Putin; Talks With Iran Will Be Direct; Treasury Secretary Keeping Very Close Eye On Bond Market; More Than 15 Trade Offers Already On Table

On Thursday, April 10, U.S. markets closed lower as renewed fears over President Trump&#8217;s escalating trade war with China erased much of the previous day&#8217;s historic rally.
The S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq had surged following a 90-day tariff reprieve, but investor uncertainty quickly returned. Meanwhile, inflation eased in March, nearing the Fed&#8217;s 2% target, though the central bank&#8217;s path forward remains uncertain amid ongoing trade tensions with both China and Europe.
In economic data, Consumer inflation slowed to 2.4% year-over-year, down from 2.8% in February and below expectations of 2.6%—marking the lowest reading since September 2024. On a monthly basis, the Consumer Price Index fell 0.1%, the first decline since May 2020.
Most S&amp;P 500 sectors ended lower, led by sharp losses in energy, technology, and communication services. However, consumer staples outperformed, closing in positive territory.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 2.50% to 39,593.66, the S&amp;P 500 fell 3.46% to 5,268.05, and the Nasdaq Composite declined 4.31% to close at 16,387.31.

'EU and China converge on punitive tariffs for E-cars'-Handelsblatt

EU's Ursula von der Leyen on X Said "We took note of the announcement by President Trump. We want to give negotiations a chance. While finalising the adoption of the EU countermeasures that saw strong support from our Member States, we will put them on hold for 90 days."

On Wednesday, April 9, U.S. markets closed higher in a powerful rebound. The S&amp;P 500 soared 9.5%—its largest single-day gain since 2008—after President Trump announced a 90-day pause on tariffs for many countries with a 10% reciprocal Tariff on all except China, offering relief to anxious investors.
The rally was further fueled by strong demand in a U.S. Treasury auction, upbeat earnings from Delta Air Lines, and broad-based buying interest. Yet uncertainty remains over future policy shifts, inflation risks, and the upcoming earnings season.
On the economic front, mortgage applications surged 20% in the first week of April, reflecting renewed consumer activity.
All 11 sectors in the S&amp;P 500 finished in positive territory, with consumer discretionary, information technology, and communication services posting the strongest gains.
