Stocks dip, retreating from record highs hit after EU trade deal
NEW YORK, July 28 (Reuters) - U.S. stocks slipped on Monday after the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq edged up to fresh intraday records, as investors assessed the U.S.-EU trade pact and braced for a week of major market catalysts. U.S. President Donald Trump and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen unveiled a trade framework on Sunday, slashing EU import tariffs to 15% - half the previously threatened rate that was scheduled to take effect on August 1. Still, France denounced the deal as a "submission." The deal is the latest in a string of announcements in recent days on trade agreements with countries such as Japan and Indonesia. Top U.S. and Chinese economic officials resumed talks in Stockholm to resolve longstanding economic disputes at the crux of a trade war between the world's two largest economies. "It's feel-good in the sense that it doesn't represent Armageddon, if the draconian tariffs went into place," said Scott Welch, chief investment officer at Certuity in Potomac, Maryland. "But it's much too soon to pass judgment on the long-term effects on how that will play out. It's better than the alternative for sure, and so I hope they continue." The Dow Jones Industrial Average (.DJI), opens new tab fell 128.16 points, or 0.29%, to 44,773.76, the S&P 500 (.SPX), opens new tab lost 8.59 points, or 0.14%, to 6,380.05 and the Nasdaq Composite (.IXIC), opens new tab gained 33.74 points, or 0.16%, to 21,141.93. While the moves on Wall Street were modest, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq both managed to climb to intraday records. Aside from the trade announcement, investors were awaiting a policy announcement from the Federal Reserve on Wednesday. The central bank is widely expected to keep U.S. rates unchanged even as the White House has ramped up pressure on Fed Chair Jerome Powell to lower borrowing costs. Also on deck this week were a slew of corporate earnings, including results from heavyweights Meta (META.O), opens new tab, Microsoft (MSFT.O), opens new tab, Amazon (AMZN.O), opens new tab and Apple (AAPL.O), opens new tab, which could sway broader investor sentiment in either direction. Along with the Fed meeting and earnings, a number of economic indicators are scheduled to be released this week, including the Personal Consumption Expenditure report (PCE) - the Fed's preferred inflation measure - and the government payrolls report to gauge how tariffs may have affected consumer prices and the labor market. Nike (NKE.N), opens new tab climbed 3.8% after J.P. Morgan upgraded the stock to "overweight" from "neutral" and said investors should "just buy it". Declining issues outnumbered advancers by a 1.94-to-1 ratio on the NYSE, and by a 1.47-to-1 ratio on the Nasdaq. The S&P 500 posted 26 new 52-week highs and three new lows, while the Nasdaq Composite recorded 62 new highs and 45 new lows.

Breakingviews - US policy incoherence sets a tariff trap
WASHINGTON, July 28 (Reuters Breakingviews) - In July, the White House set the pillars of its economic strategy: a 15% baseline tariff on key trading partners and gutting corporate and income taxes. Revenue from import duties has now reached a level unseen in decades, over $100 billion so far in 2025. Problem is, the administration spent that money and much more on $4 trillion of tax cuts, while other goals - like onshoring production - will whittle down collections. Given the size of the fiscal hole, the temptation will be to come back for more. Customs duties in June hit $27 billion, a month during which the average effective tariff rate was 15.6%, according to the Yale Budget Lab. Trade deals with Japan and the European Union announced in recent days include a baseline 15% levy, meaning that an even higher average rate looks plausible when factoring in more punitive levels on China and specific categories of goods. If this level holds, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's estimate that annual customs revenue could hit $300 billion will end up being about right. President Donald Trump has gone further, though, claiming that tariffs can replace the federal income tax. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick narrowed that to exempting those making $150,000 or less. Right now, that's a big stretch. The federal income tax raised $2.4 trillion in 2024, with around $565 billion coming from the bottom 90%, opens new tab of earners, according to Treasury Department data. The gulf will only grow. Tariffs are effectively a tax on consuming imports. Many consumers and manufacturers will look to avoid it, either purchasing or producing U.S. goods instead. Where substitution is impossible or costly, it may just dent demand, thereby reducing economic activity: budget scorekeepers tend to assume that $1 of tariff revenue leads to a $0.25 decline in income and payroll tax revenue. Yet while incentivizing domestic production is ostensibly the overarching goal of the trade war, extra revenue is becoming all the more crucial. Trump's signature fiscal legislation, signed earlier this month, adds $3 trillion in debt over the next decade, according to the Congressional Budget Office, primarily to codify individual and corporate tax cuts. Rolling back those reductions is a non-starter for Republicans, while even opposition Democrats have signed onto policies like exempting tipped income. Even just collecting owed rates is getting harder. The Internal Revenue Service estimated that there was a $600 billion 'tax gap', opens new tab in 2022 that could be closed with better enforcement. The administration has instead proposed a 50% cut to the budget for tax collectors. When fiscal reality sets in, there are few other places to turn than back to the tariff well.
