Stock market today: Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq slip after record run as Tesla sinks with Trump tax bill in focus
The S&P 500 (^GSPC) dropped about 0.3% after closing above 6,200 for the first time on Monday, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) slipped around 0.2%. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) fell 0.4%, with Tesla (TSLA) stock sliding as CEO Elon Musk's feud with Trump flared up again.
Senate lawmakers voted through the night and into Tuesday morning on amendments to finalize Trump's signature tax and spending bill, racing to meet the president's desired July 4 deadline.
While Republican wrangling over the measures continues, one amendment passed with big bipartisan support: A strike-down of the ban on AI regulation by states. The vote is a blow to tech companies, many of which have supported Trump.
Another looming deadline has prompted the US to scale back Trump's push for full-blown "reciprocal" deals with trading partners, the Financial Times reported. Instead, officials are racing to find narrower agreements before July 9, when the president's sweeping "reciprocal" tariffs are set to resume.

Jerome Powell steps up to speak later, fresh from another Trump attack pushing the Federal Reserve chair to slash interest rates to 1% — a huge 250-point reduction. As markets grow optimistic that a rate cut is around the corner, the focus is on what Powell says about the Fed's policy stance at the ECB forum in Sintra, Portugal.
Those Fed hopes have put the Thursday's release of the June jobs report in high focus this week. The watch is on for signs of cooling in the labor market that could bolster the case for a cut sooner rather than later. Tuesday's Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS) kicks off this week's labor-market-focused data.
US stocks pulled back from record highs Tuesday morning as President Trump's massive budget bill made its way through the Senate and investors looked for progress on trade talks ahead of the July 9 deadline.
The S&P 500 (^GSPC) dropped about 0.3% after closing above 6,200 for the first time on Monday, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) traded roughly flat.
The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) fell 0.4%, with Tesla (TSLA) stock plummeting more than 7% as CEO Elon Musk's feud with Trump reignited. Nvidia (NVDA) fell 1% and Meta (META) dropped fractionally after the two members of the "Magnificent Seven" hit fresh records the prior day.
Tesla (TSLA) stock sank as much as 6% before the market open Tuesday as the feud between CEO Elon Musk and President Trump reignited overnight, with the president once again threatening to cut government subsidies across Elon Musk's businesses, including Tesla and SpaceX (SPAX.PVT).
'Elon may get more subsidy than any human being in history, by far, and without subsidies, Elon would probably have to close up shop and head back home to South Africa,' Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social early Monday.
'No more Rocket launches, Satellites, or Electric Car Production, and our Country would save a FORTUNE. Perhaps we should have DOGE take a good, hard, look at this? BIG MONEY TO BE SAVED!!!'
The threats followed Musk's criticism of Trump's "big, beautiful" tax and spending bill over the weekend after the Senate advanced the bill with last-minute additions that would eliminate electric vehicle tax credits, which benefit Tesla customers, earlier than expected and add $1 trillion to the bill's original price tag.

Tesla (TSLA) stock fell 4% in premarket trading after President Trump threatened to withdraw government subsidies
Tesla's (TSLA) stock is sliding in premarket trade as investors brace for what's expected to be another tough quarter for deliveries.
The EV maker's sales in Sweden and Denmark dropped over 60% year on year in June, underlining the challenges facing the company as rivals from China and elsewhere make headway. A 31% fall for deliveries of the Model Y in those countries signaled the revamp may be falling short of reviving Tesla's fortunes, despite gains in Norway.
Tesla shares fell almost 6% early on Tuesday morning, also under pressure after President Trump again threatened to withdraw government subsidies from Elon Musk's companies. The Tesla CEO recently ramped up his officer ratcheted up his criticism of Trump's flagship tax megabill.

Storage Now Vital Part Of Grid Architecture
It has become, in electric terms, the elephant in the room. That metaphor dates back to 1814, but serves well today when looking at the constrained future of the U.S. electricity supply: the emergence of storage as an essential part of the grid infrastructure. Storage, largely pump storage, has been around since the 19th century. Now with batteries, storage has become an essential player in supporting the grid during normal operations and in times of stress. Notably both the CEO of ERCOT, Pablo Vegas, and the CEO of CAISO, Elliot Mainzer, have said their systems got through the winter of 2022-2023 because of the amount of storage in both systems. Storage Is The New Essentiality The growing importance of storage, indeed its essentiality, is covered in a major article — more of a white paper, really -- authored by three energy attorneys at the world's largest law firm, Dentons: Clinton Vince, Jennifer Morrisey and Andrew Mina. It appears in the August issue of Financier Worldwide, a monthly publication for executives. The article traces the history of battery storage from its acceptance as a potential contributor to a low-carbon grid, playing a role in firming up intermittent resources, to its growing importance in grid stability. Historically, pump storage was the most cost-effective and reliable storage system with long drawdown times. But, as the Dentons attorneys point out in their article, it is difficult to build and new sites are limited. Ninety percent of new storage is from batteries, they say. You might say that utility scale battery storage has come of age. The article states: 'The essential role of storage and the variety of benefits it offers to the grid are quickly becoming more broadly appreciated.' The authors portray the grid as becoming more stressed, suffering from years of under investment, increasingly turbulent weather, and a rapidly increasing demand for power. 'Last year the U.S. electric grid saw additions of new generation capacity of more than 70 percent over the previous year, a trend that is expected to repeat this year. 'This is a significant increase, but it pales in comparison to the expected threefold increase in demand over the next few years, driven by artificial intelligence and data center growth, and the electrification of transportation and industrial operations,' they write. The workhorse in batteries is lithium ion which has done so much to support the changing face of the modern world, from cellphones to electric vehicles, drones to toys, personal computers to spacecraft. But for utilities, the future may have other strong players, including iron-air and flow batteries. Even old-fashioned and proven lead-acid devices may have a future in the utility space. While iron-air batteries, as offered by Form Energy based in Somerville, Massachusetts, have the advantage of drawdown times of several days, they are less adept at load following. John Howes, principal at Redland Energy Group and an aficionado of batteries of all kinds, points out that energy-hungry data centers aren't waiting. They are deploying batteries in their data centers now. Howes told me, 'Energy storage systems, which have been part of the nation's power infrastructure for more than 150 years, now must assume a role of greater importance to ensure that the physical infrastructure will perform seamlessly. 'Batteries already are deployed in every data center.' He added that batteries serve the nation's growing artificial intelligence capability. Howes said batteries not only back up other power generators in emergencies but can also achieve 'black starts' in a complete blackout situation. Their day-to-day work is to store low-cost energy for discharge in peak demand times. To accomplish these functions in a cost-effective manner, Howes said, batteries will have to use better performance materials and advanced designs, and be made with state-of-the-art processes. Complexity Of Valuing Battery Resource The Dentons article explains these challenges this way: 'Valuing a battery resource is a more complex exercise than for other resources. The cost of a battery resource is deeply intertwined with the engineering operations of the grid, and the arbitrage functions of battery storage complicates the determination of the market value of the resource. 'Moreover, battery storage provides a variety of values to the electric system. The cost will vary depending on which service is needed at any given time to optimize which market, and will affect how battery storage is bid into the market and at what level of charge. This sets battery storage apart from other distributed resources.' In 2024, according to the Energy Information Administration, utility-scale battery storage exceeded 26 gigawatts, with operators adding 10.4 GW of new battery storage capacity, making it the second-largest generating capacity addition after solar. The EIA expects a record-breaking increase in 2025, with 19.6 GW of utility-scale battery storage planned to be added to the grid. The elephant is stirring, maybe getting to its feet.
