Stock market today: Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq slide as Wall Street eyes earnings, trade tensions

US stocks slipped on Tuesday as investors digested the latest wave of corporate earnings and various tariff updates. The benchmark S&P 500 (^GSPC) slid 0.4%, while the blue-chip Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) also fell about 0.3%. The Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) was down around 0.5%. Palantir (PLTR) stock jumped about 8% in early trading after the company's earnings report beat expectations and revealed its revenue had topped $1 billion in a quarter for the first time. On Monday, stocks sharply rebounded after tanking on Friday in the aftermath of a number of market-shaking events, including a weak jobs report, fresh tariffs, new signs of rising prices, and President Trump's firing of the commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Meanwhile, Trump continued to amp up pressure on trade Monday, threatening to hike tariffs on India. Separately, in a Tuesday morning interview with CNBC, Trump said pharmaceutical imports could see tariffs of up to 250%. Trump also ruled out Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent as a potential incoming Fed chair, but noted that Jerome Powell's successor could be named "soon."

McDonald's (MCD) and Disney (DIS) earnings land Wednesday. However, another trade blow looms later in the week, with Trump's latest iteration of global tariffs set to take effect.

PMI data points to "encouragingly robust' economic activity to start the third quarter Activity in the services continued to expand during the month of July according to two data releases on Tuesday morning. The Institute for Supply Management's (ISM) services PMI registered a reading of 50.1 in July, down from June's reading of 50.1, and below the 51.5 economists surveyed by Bloomberg had expected. Readings above 50 for this index indicate an expansion in activity, while readings below 50 indicate contraction. The manufacturing sector has been in contraction for most of the past two years. "July's PMI level continues to reflect slow growth, and survey respondents indicated that seasonal and weather factors had negative impacts on business," Steve Miller, the chair of the Institute for Supply Management Services Business Survey committee said in the release. "The most common topic among survey panelists remained tariff-related impacts, with a noticeable increase in commodities listed as up in price." Elsewhere on Tuesday, S&P Global's composite PMI, which combines both activity in the services and manufacturing sectors, July registered a reading of 55.1 in July, up from 52.9 the month prior. S&P Global chief business economist Chris Williamson said the data signals "encouragingly robust economic growth at the start of the third quarter." Williamson added that the July PMI data points to the US economy growing at a 2.5% annualized pace in the third quarter, above the 1.25% pace seen in the first half.

The "two Kevins" are in reference to former Fed governor Kevin Warsh and Kevin Hassett, director of the National Economic Council.

McDonald's Q2 Preview: Can Profit Outpace Sluggish Sales?

McDonald's (NYSE:MCD) reports second-quarter fiscal 2025 earnings before the open on August 6. Analysts project EPS of $3.14 on revenue of roughly $6.68 billion, reflecting revenue growth of only 3% YoY. The stock is up about 4% year-to-date and trades moderately below its 52-week high of $326. Investor focus will fall on same-store sales trends and price/mix strategies. In Q1, global comparable sales declined 1%, with International developmental Licensed Markets growing 3.5%. The performance of McValue deals like the $5 meal and beverage promotions will be scrutinized for lift in traffic versus margin erosion. Margin resilience will be equally critical. McDonald's has emphasized operating efficiency, particularly in labor and supply chain, as a means of counteracting input-cost pressures. Analysts will watch whether cost discipline translates into margin expansion without compromising guest experience or traffic. International performance, especially China and Europe, also matters. McDonald's has seen mixed demand across regions. Last quarter, it was negatively impacted by the UK and positively driven by the Middle East and Japan. Investors may also watch markets like France or Hong Kong, where comp trends remain uneven. With valuation hinging on earnings stability, Q2 results and the conference call must deliver evidence that McDonald's can keep profit growth ahead of revenue stagnation.

Analysis-Brazil's economy ready to ride out Trump's 50% tariff

By Marcela Ayres and Bernardo Caram BRASILIA (Reuters) -Brazilian goods imported by the United States will soon carry one of the highest tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump, but that will not likely derail Latin America's largest economy, due to ample exemptions and stronger trade ties with China. The lower stakes for the Brazilian economy give President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva more room to stand his ground against Trump than most Western leaders, after calling him an unwanted global "emperor" and comparing his tariff threats to blackmail. Lula has said he is open to negotiating a trade deal, but dismissed Trump's complaints about the trial of right-wing ally Jair Bolsonaro as a threat to Brazilian sovereignty and judicial independence. Brazil's Supreme Court is trying the ex-president for allegedly plotting to overturn the 2022 election he lost to Lula. Those tensions, stoked by Bolsonaro's house arrest on Monday, are likely to make negotiations about the 50% U.S. tariff on Brazilian goods between Washington and Brasilia thorny and drawn out, even as the fallout for Brazil's economy looks limited. Unlike Mexico and Canada, which sell about three-quarters of their exports to the United States, Americans buy just 12% of Brazilian exports. By comparison, Brazil's exports to China have doubled in value over the past decade, now accounting for 28% of the country's total shipments. After exemptions laid out in Trump's executive order last week, including on aircraft, energy, and orange juice, the tariff taking effect on Wednesday will apply to just under 36% of Brazilian exports to the U.S. by value, according to estimates in Brasilia. Many of the affected exports are commodities such as beef and coffee, which should find alternative markets at modest discounts, according to economists. "We were already expecting a limited impact, but it dropped further with the exemptions," said Luiza Pinese, an economist at XP, who halved her forecast for the tariff impact on Brazil's gross domestic product this year to 0.15 percentage points. Goldman Sachs maintained its projection for Brazil's economy to grow 2.3% this year in light of the "notable" exemptions, adding that government support for affected sectors, expected in the coming days, should further soften the economic blow. "Brazil depends on the United States, that's true, but also on BRICS countries, on Europe, on Mercosur," Planning Minister Simone Tebet said at a public event last week, referring to major developing nations such as China, India, and Russia and a South American trade bloc. She said almost half of Brazil's agribusiness trade, an engine for Brazil's economy in recent years, is concentrated in Asia, compared to just 10% with the United States. "When it comes to industry, the ratio is four to one - four times more to Asia than to the United States," she added. SMALLER ROLE FOR TRADE Brazil is far less open to trade than most major global economies, limiting fallout from trade disruptions. Exports and imports amounted to 36% of its GDP last year, less than half the share in Mexico and nearby Paraguay, and just a quarter of the level in trade-focused Asian economies such as Thailand and Malaysia, according to World Bank data. Much of Brazil's exports are commodities easily redirected to different markets over time, said Thiago Carlos, a PIMCO portfolio manager for emerging markets. In the short term, more domestic food supply may even help to bring down inflation, he added. "With inflation likely to trend lower, the central bank may find room to begin easing monetary policy sooner than expected," said Carlos, noting the benchmark rate at the current level of 15% keeps monetary policy extremely tight, dragging on growth. Analysts polled by Reuters estimated that even without a U.S. trade deal and before exemptions, Brazil's growth outlook for 2026 would remain virtually unchanged from their consensus of 1.6%-1.7%. Still, Luis Otavio Leal, chief economist at asset manager G5 Partners, warned of potential knock-on effects if government aid is not well targeted to protect vulnerable sectors and jobs. "Exemptions applied to nearly 700 products - and Brazil exports about 4,000 different goods to the U.S.," said Leal. "A large number of firms that sell to the U.S. were not covered." Brazil's central bank said on Monday that U.S. levies on Brazilian goods could have "significant" effects on specific sectors, but broader macroeconomic effects are uncertain and will depend on negotiations and market risk perceptions. Flavio Ataliba, a researcher at Brazilian university FGV, noted that the vast country's regional variety will result in uneven impacts. The Northeast region, in particular, could be hit harder due to its export base of low-value-added, labor-intensive goods such as fresh fruit, seafood, textiles, and footwear - all now subject to the full 50% tariff, he added. 擷取數據時發生錯誤 登入存取你的投資組合 擷取數據時發生錯誤 擷取數據時發生錯誤 擷取數據時發生錯誤 擷取數據時發生錯誤
