Wall Street Falls as Trump Pressures Trading Partners with New Tariffs
Wall Street experienced a broad downturn on Monday, with the S&P 500 falling 0.8%, its largest loss since mid-June, amid renewed trade tensions instigated by President Donald Trump. The Dow Jones Industrial Average and Nasdaq each dropped 0.9%. Widespread losses affected most sectors, particularly technology, finance, and consumer-related stocks. Tesla plunged 6.8% amid renewed tensions between Elon Musk and Trump over a recent spending bill. The decline followed Trump’s announcement of 25% tariffs on goods from Japan and South Korea starting August 1 and new tariffs on Malaysia, Kazakhstan, South Africa, Laos, and Myanmar. Trump also plans an additional 10% tariff on BRICS countries. Analysts warn these tariffs could stall global economic growth and raise recession risks. The market's reaction reflects concerns over negotiations set to conclude before mid-week, following a 90-day tariff postponement. Notably, the U.S. and Vietnam struck a deal reducing previously threatened import tariffs. Other developments include a $9 billion acquisition deal between CoreWeave and Core Scientific. Meanwhile, bond yields rose, and oil prices edged higher after OPEC+ announced increased production. Investors are also awaiting Federal Reserve meeting minutes for insights on future interest rate adjustments amid inflation concerns.
Read MoreCoreWeave's $9 Billion Acquisition of Core Scientific Raises Questions
CoreWeave has announced a $9 billion all-stock acquisition of Core Scientific, aiming to consolidate their data center infrastructure and AI computing services. This merger, unveiled on July 7, 2025, values Core Scientific at $20.40 per share based on July 3 closing prices, a nearly 66% premium from its pre-rumor price. CoreWeave hopes the consolidation will yield $500 million in cost savings and reduce its 10% short-term debt interest rate by achieving greater scale and collateral. However, both companies' stocks declined following the announcement—Core Scientific dropping 16% and CoreWeave over 2%—suggesting investor skepticism. Despite the promise of long-term benefits, concerns remain about the sustainability of the AI boom, potential market shocks before the deal’s scheduled late-2025 close, and the overvaluation driven by recent hype. CoreWeave, heavily reliant on a few customers and suppliers, also faces intense competition from larger players like Amazon and Google, making the merger a strategic yet risky bet on continued AI-sector growth.
Read MoreInvestors Put 'Liberation Day' Lessons to Work Amid Tariff Turmoil
Following President Trump's 'Liberation Day' tariff pronouncement on April 2, 2025, investors have been reevaluating strategies to cope with the evolving trade landscape. The surprises and reversals in U.S. trade policies have prompted many to treat trade policy as a vital economic lever, alongside monetary and fiscal policy. Though markets rebounded strongly after a temporary pause on new tariffs and partial trade deals with the UK and China, volatility underscored the need for adaptability. The S&P 500 hit new highs and the VIX moderated, yet experts warn of market overconfidence and potential pullbacks.
