CNBC Daily Open: Trump's interview suggests he's not backing down from his policies
U.S. President Donald Trump joined CNBC's "Squawk Box" Tuesday for a lengthy interview that touched on tariffs, the Federal Reserve, the state of Russia's economy and being rejected as a customer by JPMorgan Chase and Bank of America. For those pressed on time and want a very broad TL;DR: Trump appears to be digging in on his policies. With modified country-specific "reciprocal" tariffs due to start Aug. 7 — and duties on India to be raised within the next 24 hours, according to Trump's comments during the interview — the Trump administration seems to be turning its attention to sectoral ones. Trump told CNBC that he will announce his tariff plan for semiconductors "within the next week or so." Additionally, he will impose "a small tariff" on pharmaceutical imports before ratcheting it up to 250% within a year and a half. The U.S. president doesn't look like he's backing down from his feud with the central bank, either. Days after the Fed chose to hold interest rates, Trump discussed his potential candidates to replace Jerome Powell as Fed chair. Among those contenders are former Governor Kevin Warsh and Kevin Hassett, the National Economic Council director. "Both Kevins are very good," Trump said. Whichever Kevin — or "other people that are very good, too," in Trump's words — assumes the role when Powell's term ends in May 2026 (or is truncated earlier, depending on Trump's moves), they would have to help prop up an economy that seems to be slowing, as indicated by July's startling jobs report and ISM Services index. Semiconductor tariffs in the works. In an interview with CNBC, Trump said he will announce new tariffs on semiconductors as soon as next week. He also said he'd impose a "small tariff" on pharmaceuticals before raising it to as high as 250%. Trump has four candidates for Fed chair. While the president didn't reveal their identities, he said Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has taken himself out of consideration. Major U.S. stock indexes pull back. Stocks retreated Tuesday on ISM data that indicated the services sector nearly shrank in July. The pan-European Stoxx 600 index added 0.15%, but European semiconductor stocks fell on Trump's tariff comment. AMD's earnings fall short of expectations. That's despite the chipmaker reporting second-quarter revenue that beat Wall Street estimates. Shares of Advanced Micro Devices lost more than 6% in extended trading. [PRO] Topping expectations might not be enough. Even though the S&P 500 is on track for second-quarter earnings growth of almost double digits, compared with a year earlier, investors are giving a muted response, according to Goldman Sachs. Russia's economy 'stinks,' Trump says, and lower oil prices will stop its warmachine The rift between Moscow and Washington looks set to deepen. "Putin will stop killing people if you get energy down another $10 a barrel. He's going to have no choice because his economy stinks," Trump, told CNBC's "Squawk Box" on Tuesday. The comments come after relations between Moscow and Washington, which remained cordial at the start of Trump's second term in office despite the ongoing war, soured in recent weeks.

Stock market today: Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq futures waver as earnings, trade uncertainty leave Wall Street uneasy
US stock futures wavered amid a tough batch of corporate earnings and persistent trade uncertainty. Futures attached to the Dow Jones Industrial Average (YM=F) and the benchmark S&P 500 (ES=F) hovered around the flat line. Futures attached to the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 (NQ=F) fell roughly 0.2%. After the bell on Tuesday, Chipmaker AMD (AMD) reported mixed results and said AI demand remains strong, but its stock fell on costs tied to President Trump's changing stance on chip sales to China. Super Micro (SMCI) also saw its shares dive after an earnings miss highlighted growing competition in the AI server market. The stocks of EV makers Rivian (RIVN) and Lucid (LCID) tumbled too with both companies warning that the end of the EV tax credit would impact business. In day trading, stocks fell as Trump continued to amp up trade threats and new economic data revealed the services sector had unexpectedly flatlined. Read more: The latest on Trump's tariffs On Wednesday, Disney (DIS) and McDonald's (MCD) are set to report earnings. Meanwhile, US trade partners are scrambling to strike trade deals before Trump's new tariff deadline arrives Thursday.

Veteran fund manager sends urgent 9-word message on stocks
The stock market has had a rally for the ages since President Donald Trump backed off some tariffs in early April, clearing the way for trade negotiations with major trading partners. The S&P 500 marched over 25% higher since hitting a tariff-fueled low on April 8; however, cracks in the U.S. economy are forming even as President Trump's tariff pause has expired, unleashing a new wave of inflation-unfriendly import taxes. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter Weakening employment data and arguably sticky inflation isn't a great recipe for stock market gains, and it doesn't help that August is historically a tricky month for markets. The dynamic has increased investor anxiety, causing a sharp and fast 3% dip late last week. The potential for additional losses has Doug Kass's attention. Kass is a veteran hedge fund manager with 50 years of experience, including a stint as research director for Leon Cooperman's Omega Advisors. On August 5, he sent a blunt message to investors that's likely to turn some heads. The stock market's gravity-defying gains have rewarded many investors who took advantage of stocks becoming deeply oversold this spring, including Kass. A self-described contrarian with a calculator, he correctly called the selloff overdone in early April before its big move higher.

"Non tech Q2 earnings were poor - as was forward guidance," wrote Kass on X. "The rate of growth in economy and corporate profits (ex AI) are rolling over. Market participants are worshipping at the altar of price momentum, speculating in meme stocks and riding the wave of large-cap tech equities." Just as Kass was bullish on stocks in April when everyone else was bearish, now he's turned bearish when everyone is seemingly bullish. According to Bank of America, "all major client groups bought equities last week, led by institutions," resulting in the first stock market inflows in six weeks. Fund manager buys and sells Veteran fund manager who forecast Nvidia stock rally reboots outlookStocks & Markets Podcast: Small Caps & Your Portfolio With Thomas BrowneLegendary fund manager reveals new trades after S&P 500 rally "Bull Markets Die Hard, so I don't anticipate a straight-down correction," wrote Kass in a pre-market post on TheStreet Pro on August 4. "Rather, I am expecting a jagged move lower in the weeks and months ahead. I will be reshorting strength. Friday was likely the first shot across the bow." And strength is what Kass got. After the 3% dip in the S&P 500 and Nasdaq caused by worrisome inflation and jobs data last week, the indexes rallied on August 4, adding 1.5% and 1.9%, respectively. Related: Fed official sends warning on 'two-speed' economy The bounce gave Kass the "reshorting" opportunity he mentioned. As a result, he delivered an urgent message, saying he is "back to my largest net short exposure since January." Kass is picking and choosing, and while net short, he still owns stocks, suggesting his shorting stocks is simply managing risk to control his downside if stocks do roll over. Among the stocks he's shorting are technology bellwethers he believes have run too fast, too far, and thus, might be due for a short-term retreat, including Nvidia, Palantir, and Tesla. "The investing world almost universally believes it has discovered a new god in artificial intelligence and machine learning," said Kass. "AI infrastructure CAPEX is already 20% higher as a % of GDP than what was spent on telecom and internet infrastructure at the peak of the dot com boom." Kass doesn't think that's sustainable, leading him to take "trading short rentals" on Nvidia (NVDA) and Palantir. Nvidia, the AI-chip Goliath, is up 70% in the past 12 months, including 57% in the past three months. The company's shares have recently moved higher on optimism over rising capital expenditure budgets at major hyperscalers, including Microsoft and Meta Platforms. Meanwhile, Palantir's (PLTR) shares have skyrocketed on optimism surrounding its AI software platform, gaining 128% in the past year, and 58% in the past three months, including a sharp post-earnings rally this week. He is also short Tesla, which has been mired in a sales slump since CEO Elon Musk supported President Trump's reelection bid and took a role in the administration earlier this year at the newly created Department of Government Efficiency. Musk has since stepped down from that role, but Tesla's sales haven't recovered yet. In Q2, Tesla's revenue fell 12% year over year to $22.5 billion. "Current valuations are a poor launching pad for future investment returns," said Kass. Todd Campbell is long Nvidia, Palantir, and Tesla shares.
