Stock market today: Dow jumps 500 points, S&P 500, Nasdaq rally in bounce back from Friday sell-off
Yahoo2 hours ago
US stocks rebounded sharply Monday, recovering from last week's sell-off sparked by disappointing labor data and continuing trade uncertainty.
The benchmark S&P 500 (^GSPC) climbed 1.4%, while the blue-chip Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) rose 1.3% or more than 500 points. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) led the gains, rising about 1.7%.
The moves follow a sharp pullback on Wall Street on Friday. All three major indexes posted their worst weekly declines in months, ending a run of positive market moves.
The declines were exacerbated Friday after July's jobs report came in weaker than expected, and previous months' tallies were revised sharply lower, flipping the narrative on the labor market's strength. It led President Trump to lash out at the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), which publishes the monthly jobs report, and fire its commissioner. Trump suggested he would nominate a new head for the agency in the coming days.
Trump's battle with the Fed and Chair Jerome Powell has also remained in focus. Traders tempered expectations around interest rate policy following the bank's decision last week to leave rates unchanged for a fifth consecutive meeting. But after the weak jobs data, almost 90% of bets are on a cut in September.
At the same time, investors are examining fallout from Trump's implementation of tariffs. The updated tariffs set to come into full effect this week range from 10% to 41% on a wide range of trading partners and raise concerns about rising costs amid broader inflationary pressures.
On Monday Trump said he would be "substantially raising" tariffs on India as he presses to stop purchasing Russian oil, effectively accusing the nation of subsidizing Russia's war in Ukraine.
Meanwhile, Tesla (TSLA) stock edged higher after reports emerged that the company had granted CEO Elon Musk 96 million shares worth about $29 billion.

Trump says he will 'substantially' raise tariffs on India
President Trump said on Monday he will "substantially" raise tariffs on India. Stocks still remained in rally mode following Friday's sell-off.

"They don't care how many people in Ukraine are being killed by the Russian War Machine. Because of this, I will be substantially raising the Tariff paid by India to the USA," he added.
President Trump's sweeping tariffs are set to come into full effect later this week. Last Wednesday, Trump announced a 25% tariff on goods from India, plus an additional import tax because of the country's purchasing of Russian oil.

Here's a look at what's trending in markets ahead of the opening bell:
Opendoor (OPEN) stock popped 16% ahead of second quarter results on Monday morning. As my colleague Jake Conley has detailed, the stock has seen a resurgence in investor interest, powered by a bull case by EMJ Capital and speculative bets posted on Reddit forums.
Palantir (PLTR) stock rose 2%. On Friday, the company announced it snagged a contract with the US Army that combines over 75 agreements into one package deal worth $10 billion over the next decade. The software and AI data company will report earnings after the bell on Monday.
Tesla (TSLA) shares added more than 2% after the company approved a new pay package worth $29 billion for CEO Elon Musk amid an intense court battle in Delaware.

Tyson Foods (TSN) stock increased 4% after the company reported fiscal third quarter results that beat expectations. The company raised its annual revenue forecast and said it expects resilient demand for chicken to offset weakness in the beef segment as high cattle prices weigh on profits.

Goldman with a sobering view on the consumer
Goldman Sachs out this morning with a subdued outlook on the US consumer following Friday's lackluster jobs report. Good read on the consumer from the WSJ today, mirrors what Procter & Gamble's (PG) CEO told me on earnings day.
Goldman's chief economist Jan Hatzius:
"We expect the weakness in consumer spending to continue in the second half of the year and forecast 0.8% real spending growth in 2025H2. Our view is underpinned by the expectation of a sharp slowdown in real income growth from its elevated pace in 2025H1. Income growth will be hit in Q3 by the phasing out of the one-off 2025H1 government transfer payments and in Q4 by the Medicaid and SNAP benefit cuts included in the new fiscal bill, which will take effect in 2025Q4 and affect lower-income households in particular. We also see higher tariff-driven inflation to impose a drag on real income growth in the second half of the year. Finally, we expect weak job growth due to lower immigration, cuts in government and healthcare hiring, and a tariff-related decline in activity.
We expect declines in both business and residential investment in the second half of the year."

Goldman with a sobering view on the consumer
Goldman Sachs out this morning with a subdued outlook on the US consumer following Friday's lackluster jobs report. Good read on the consumer from the WSJ today, mirrors what Procter & Gamble's (PG) CEO told me on earnings day.
Goldman's chief economist Jan Hatzius:
"We expect the weakness in consumer spending to continue in the second half of the year and forecast 0.8% real spending growth in 2025H2. Our view is underpinned by the expectation of a sharp slowdown in real income growth from its elevated pace in 2025H1. Income growth will be hit in Q3 by the phasing out of the one-off 2025H1 government transfer payments and in Q4 by the Medicaid and SNAP benefit cuts included in the new fiscal bill, which will take effect in 2025Q4 and affect lower-income households in particular. We also see higher tariff-driven inflation to impose a drag on real income growth in the second half of the year. Finally, we expect weak job growth due to lower immigration, cuts in government and healthcare hiring, and a tariff-related decline in activity.
We expect declines in both business and residential investment in the second half of the year."

Tariffs not expected to cause recession or end bull market, says UBS
As President Trump's tariff policy pans out, UBS strategists signal it won't cause a recession or spell the end of a bull market.
'Our base case remains that US tariffs will eventually settle around 15%," Ulrike Hoffmann-Burchardi, UBS Global Wealth Management's chief investment officer for Americas and global head of equities, wrote in a note on Monday morning.
"While this would be the highest since the 1930s, and six times higher than when Trump returned to office, we do not expect it to cause a recession or end the equity bull market."
In recent days, Trump has unleashed a flurry of trade deals, including a 90-day reprieve on goods imported from Mexico and 15% tariffs on EU goods.
On Friday, Trump signed an order to hike tariffs on Canada to 35%, while he kept a baseline minimum rate of 10% across all partners.The US is set to implement duties this week.

Trump says he will 'substantially' raise tariffs on India
President Trump said on Monday he will "substantially" raise tariffs on India. Stocks still remained in rally mode following Friday's sell-off.
"India is not only buying massive amounts of Russian Oil, they are then, for much of the Oil purchased, selling it on the Open Market for big profits," Trump wrote on Monday morning.
"They don't care how many people in Ukraine are being killed by the Russian War Machine. Because of this, I will be substantially raising the Tariff paid by India to the USA," he added.
President Trump's sweeping tariffs are set to come into full effect later this week. Last Wednesday, Trump announced a 25% tariff on goods from India, plus an additional import tax because of the country's purchasing of Russian oil.

Watch These Novo Nordisk Stock Price Levels After Last Week's 33% Drop
Key Takeaways Novo Nordisk's U.S.-listed shares were slightly higher in recent trading after shedding a third of their value last week, when the company cut its full-year outlook and named a new CEO. The shares had resumed their steep downtrend last week on above-average volume, indicating selling conviction from larger market participants. Investors should watch major support levels on Novo Nordisk's chart around $36 and $29, while also monitoring key overhead areas near $60 and $ Nordisk's (NVO) U.S.-listed shares were up about 2% in recent trading after shedding about a third of their value last week, when the company cut its full-year outlook and named a new CEO, leading Wall Street analysts to downgrade the stock. Since hitting a record high in June last year, Novo Nordisk shares have lost roughly two-thirds of their value, pressured by increasing competition from rival Eli Lilly's (LLY) weight-loss drugs and challenges during trials of the company's next-generation obesity drugs. Below, we take a closer look at Novo Nordisk's weekly chart and use technical analysis to identify major price levels that investors will likely be watching after last week's dramatic sell-off. An Extended Downtrend With last week's drop, Novo Nordisk shares resumed their steep downtrend on above-average trading volume, indicating selling conviction from larger market participants. The sell-off coincided with the relative strength index (RSI) falling to its lowest levels since early May, signaling weakening price momentum, though the indicator neared its oversold threshold, increasing the chances for short-term bounces. It's also worth noting that the 50-week moving average continues to converge toward the 200-week MA, potentially setting the stage for an ominous death cross, a bearish pattern that forecasts lower prices. Let's identify two major support levels on Novo Nordisk's chart worth watching if selling resumes this week and also point out several key overhead areas to monitor during potential recovery efforts. Major Support Levels Worth Watching The first major lower level to watch sits around $36. This area would likely provide support near the upper range of a consolidation period that formed on the chart between October 2020 and April 2021. A more significant move lower could see the shares test lower support at the $29 level. Investors may look for buying opportunities in this area near a horizontal line that connects a range of corresponding price action on the chart between January 2018 and April 2020. Key Overhead Areas to Monitor An initial recovery effort could see the shares climb to overhead resistance around $60. The price may encounter selling pressure in this area near the prominent April trough and April 2022 peak. A more bullish upswing opens the door for a rally toward $78. Investors who have bought Novo Nordisk shares at lower levels may decide to lock in profits in this location near the June peak, which closely aligns with the completion of a pullback in July 2023.

NCAA Tournament fields to remain at 68 teams in 2026, but future growth is possible
The NCAA men's and women's basketball tournaments will not expand beyond 68 teams in 2026, but future growth remains on the radar. 'Expanding the tournament fields is no longer being contemplated for the 2026 men's and women's basketball championships," Dan Gavitt, NCAA senior vice president of basketball, said in a statement on Monday. "However, the committees will continue conversations on whether to recommend expanding to 72 or 76 teams in advance of the 2027 championships.' NCAA President Charlie Baker has said adding teams could add value to the tournament, and he said the NCAA already has had 'good conversations' with TV partners CBS and Warner Bros., whose deal runs through 2032 at the cost of around $1.1 billion a year. ___ AP college basketball: and

RGTI: Rigetti Shares Jump after Needham hikes target on U.S. quantum momentum
Aug 4 - Rigetti Computing (NASDAQ:RGTI) jumped more than 5% on Monday shortly after Needham raised its price target by $3, signaling fresh momentum in quantum computing. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 3 Warning Signs with RGTI. Analyst Quinn Bolton sees growing buzz around federal programs like DARPA's Quantum Benchmark Initiative (QBI) and the proposed Department of Energy Quantum Leadership Act. He believes those efforts could unlock new research funding and commercial opportunities. Rigetti leads a pack of startups racing to prove quantum machines can outperform classical systems. QBI aims to assess whether quantum devices deliver more value than their cost by 2033. Meanwhile, the DOE bill would allocate $2.5 billion over five years to boost quantum research. Investors weigh the promise of those programs against current realities: most quantum firms still run R&D losses and generate modest revenue. Bolton urges a cautious stance, recommending smaller, speculative positions. Yet his buy rating on Rigetti reflects confidence that government backing could pave the way for breakthroughs and higher stock gains. With Washington pulling out all the stops to keep the U.S. on the leading edge of high-tech, Rigetti advocacy demonstrates the crossroad of policy and private money. This is the place to keep an eye on future legislative actions and DARPA milestones to get new startup catalysts. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.
