Asia And Europe Markets Gain On Partial US Reciprocal Tariff Exemptions; Dollar Hits Multi-Month Low - Global Markets Today While US Slept

On Thursday, April 10, U.S. markets closed lower as renewed fears over President Trump&#8217;s escalating trade war with China erased much of the previous day&#8217;s historic rally.
The S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq had surged following a 90-day tariff reprieve, but investor uncertainty quickly returned. Meanwhile, inflation eased in March, nearing the Fed&#8217;s 2% target, though the central bank&#8217;s path forward remains uncertain amid ongoing trade tensions with both China and Europe.
In economic data, Consumer inflation slowed to 2.4% year-over-year, down from 2.8% in February and below expectations of 2.6%—marking the lowest reading since September 2024. On a monthly basis, the Consumer Price Index fell 0.1%, the first decline since May 2020.
Most S&amp;P 500 sectors ended lower, led by sharp losses in energy, technology, and communication services. However, consumer staples outperformed, closing in positive territory.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 2.50% to 39,593.66, the S&amp;P 500 fell 3.46% to 5,268.05, and the Nasdaq Composite declined 4.31% to close at 16,387.31.

China's Retaliatory Tariff Hike Escalates Trade War, Gold Soars, Dollar Hits Two-Year Low - Global Markets Today While US Slept

On Wednesday, April 9, U.S. markets closed higher in a powerful rebound. The S&amp;P 500 soared 9.5%—its largest single-day gain since 2008—after President Trump announced a 90-day pause on tariffs for many countries with a 10% reciprocal Tariff on all except China, offering relief to anxious investors.
The rally was further fueled by strong demand in a U.S. Treasury auction, upbeat earnings from Delta Air Lines, and broad-based buying interest. Yet uncertainty remains over future policy shifts, inflation risks, and the upcoming earnings season.
On the economic front, mortgage applications surged 20% in the first week of April, reflecting renewed consumer activity.
All 11 sectors in the S&amp;P 500 finished in positive territory, with consumer discretionary, information technology, and communication services posting the strongest gains.

Asia And Europe Markets Rally After Trump's Tariff U-Turn, Gold Nears Record High - Global Markets Today While US Slept

On Tuesday, April 8th, U.S. markets closed sharply lower as the S&amp;P 500 plunged below 5,000 for the first time in nearly a year, capping a four-day loss of $5.83 trillion—the steepest since the index&#8217;s inception in the 1950s.

On Friday, April 4th, U.S. markets closed sharply lower, marking Wall Street&#8217;s second consecutive day of steep losses. The Nasdaq officially entered a bear market, while the Dow slipped into correction territory amid intensifying global trade tensions.

Global Markets See Worst Drop Since 1997 Mimicking Black Monday Like Crash, Crude Oil Tumbles

On Thursday, April 3, U.S. markets experienced their steepest one-day losses in years, driven by President Trump&#8217;s tariff on U.S. imports, which sparked concerns of a global trade war and potential recession.

The ISM services PMI fell to 50.8 in March, down from 53.5 in February and below the expected 53.
Most S&amp;P 500 sectors closed lower on Thursday, led by losses in consumer discretionary, energy, and tech stocks, while consumer staples bucked the trend and finished higher.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped 3.98% to 40,545.93, the S&amp;P 500 declined 4.84% to 5,396.52, and the Nasdaq Composite fell 5.97% to close at 16,550.61.

Asia Markets Mixed, Europe Down As Tariff Concerns Persist - Global Markets Today While US Slept

On Monday, March 24th, U.S. markets closed higher. The S&amp;P 500 rallied to a multi-week high, driven by gains in tech stocks like Nvidia and Tesla amid hopes for a softer stance on tariffs from the Trump administration. While investors welcomed the rebound, concerns remain over the broader impact of tariffs on growth and profits as companies continue to lower their earnings forecasts.
According to economic data, the Chicago Fed index rose to 0.18 in February from -0.08 in January. The Services PMI increased to 54.3 in March from 51 in February, while the Manufacturing PMI fell to 49.8 from 52.7.
Most S&amp;P 500 sectors rose Monday, led by consumer discretionary on Tesla&#8217;s gains and advances in communication services and industrials. Utilities were the only sector to edge lower.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 1.42% to 42,583.32, the S&amp;P 500 up 1.76% to 5,767.57, and the Nasdaq Composite rose 2.27% to 18,188.59.

Asia Market Mixed, Europe Gains On Tariff Optimism; Gold Edges Higher - Global Markets Today While US Slept

3月17日（月）、景気指標が発表された結果、株式市場は上昇で取引を終えた。数週にわたる下落の後、投資家は打撃を受けた株を買い増しを始めた。米国ではニューヨークの製造業の活動が急速に減少し、関税の上昇によるコストが原因で住宅建設業者の景気後退は明らかである。
投資家たちのマーケットの注目は、金曜日に予定されている連邦準備制度理事会（FRB）の会合である。金利はこの会合で据え置かれると予想されている。
経済指標によると、2月における米国の小売売上高は予想を下回る0.2%増。この結果は、新たに発表された米国の製造業指数が-20.0にまで下がり、2023年5月以来の最低水準。住宅建設業者の信頼感も2月の42から3月の39に減少。
月曜日、株式市場のS&amp;P500のほとんどのセクターが上昇し、不動産、エネルギー、および日用品関連株は上昇し、一方で、消費関連株は下落。

3月13日（木）の米国市場は大幅下落で取引を終了、米国のインフレデータが好調にもかかわらず新たな関税が明らかになったことでS&amp;P500は<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/03/44317410/sp-500-enters-technical-correction-as-trade-war-fears-rattle-markets" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">調整</a>に入った。
投資家感情は悪化しているが、PPI(生産者物価指数)とCPI(消費者物価指数)が予想よりも落ち着いており、失業保険申請件数も微減で労働市場は強いままだった。主要な株価指数の下落材料は、「マグニフィセント・セブン」をはじめとした大手ハイテク株の大量の売り越しだった。欧州が米国の鉄鋼やアルミに対する報復関税で貿易摩擦の緊張が高まっている。
経済データでは、2月の米国の生産者物価は横ばいで1月の改定値０．6％増の後、予想の０．3％増を下回った。失業保険申請件数は2,000件減の22万件で予想の22万5000件を下回る結果だった。
S&amp;P 500のほとんどのセクターは軒並み値を下げたが、公共事業セクターの銘柄の中には上昇しているものもあった。
ダウ平均は1.30％安の40,813.57、S&amp;P500は1.39％安の5,521.52、ナスダックは1.96％安の17,303.01で取引終了。
