Wall Street edged lower after getting pulled in opposite
directions as President Donald Trump’s latest tariff escalation
creates winners and losers among auto stocks.
The S&P 500 slipped 0.3% Thursday after drifting between small
gains and losses. Better-than-expected data on the economy also
helped support the market.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average dipped 155 points, and the
Nasdaq composite fell 0.5%.
General Motors sank sharply after Trump announced 25% tariffs on
imported cars. Foreign automakers likewise fell, but Rivian and
Tesla held up better. So did companies that could benefit from
U.S. drivers opting against buying new cars.
On Thursday:
The S&P 500 fell 18.89 points, or 0.3%, to 5,693.31.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 155.09 points, or 0.4%, to
42,299.70.
The Nasdaq composite fell 94.98 points, or 0.5%, to 17,804.03.
The Russell 2000 index of smaller companies fell 8.14 points, or
