Shares of clothing and footwear retailers are climbing on Friday after President Donald Trump revealed that Vietnam is interested in negotiations<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44632479/retail-stocks-slammed-as-trumps-tariff-plan-sends-shockwaves-through-sector"> to reduce tariffs. </a>
The Details: President Trump said in <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/114280292618523684">a post</a> on Truth Social that he had a "very productive call" with To Lam, General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam regarding possible negotiations to eliminate tariffs.&nbsp;
"Just had a very productive call with To Lam, General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam, who told me that Vietnam wants to cut their Tariffs down to ZERO if they are able to make an agreement with the U.S. I thanked him on behalf of our Country, and said I look forward to a meeting in the near future," Trump wrote.

Trump announced a steep 46% tariff on goods imported from Vietnam on Wednesday afternoon, which led to broad declines across the retail sector, which relies heavily on manufacturing in Vietnam. 
What Else: According to a Bloomberg <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-04-04/vietnam-asks-us-to-postpone-tariff-and-engage-in-negotiations-m923qrv7">report </a>from earlier Friday morning, Vietnam had asked the Trump administration to delay the 46% tariff on Vietnamese goods for up to three months to enable further negotiations to take place.
Deputy Prime Minister Ho Duc Phoc said that Vietnam would look to purchase more U.S.-made goods, including technology, in order to balance the trade relationship, according to a statement on the government's website.&nbsp;
Other government and central bank officials stated that Vietnam would consider removing trade barriers and taxes while continuing discussions with the United States, according to Bloomberg.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Stocks React: Nike, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NKE#NYSE">NKE</a>), which manufactures about 25% of its goods in Vietnam, saw its stock pop more than 5% on the news Friday.&nbsp;

Trump Reveals Vietnam Trade Talks As Nike Stock Rallies On Surprise Turnaround

The retail sector is under heavy selling pressure on Thursday as Wall Street digests President Donald Trump's tougher-than-anticipated <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/04/44626421/trumps-reign-of-tariffs-unleashes-d-day-on-wall-street-analyst-warns-of-stagflation-risk">tariff plan.&nbsp;</a>
What To Know: Trump on Wednesday announced sweeping tariffs aimed at reshaping global trade and boosting American manufacturing, including a universal 10% tariff on all imports starting April 5 and&nbsp; significantly higher rates targeting around 60 countries deemed &#8220;major offenders&#8221; for imposing barriers on U.S. goods.&nbsp;
Many retailers and brands manufacture goods in China and Vietnam which now have effective tariffs rates of 54% and 46%, respectively. Stocks of companies that rely heavily on imports are experiencing significant declines as Wall Street digests the implications of the new tariff structure.&nbsp;

S&amp;P Global analysts recently warned that steep tariffs would affect retailers disproportionately and more severely than they had in the past.&nbsp;
&#8220;Broad-based tariffs could hurt more U.S. consumer products and retail companies this time around than in 2018,&#8221; analysts wrote.&nbsp;
&#8220;Price increases will be harder to pass along to the consumer this time around because of the recent inflation cycle and already weak consumer environment,&#8221; the analysts wrote, per The Street.&nbsp;
Approximately, one-third of footwear imports come in the U.S. from Vietnam, according to the Footwear Distributors and Retailers of America. Shares of footwear companies who manufacture in Vietnam, including Nike, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NKE#NYSE">NKE</a>) and UGGS-parent Deckers Outdoor Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DECK#NYSE">DECK</a>) were down dramatically on Thursday.&nbsp;
Best Buy, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BBY#NYSE">BBY</a>) stock was on track for its worst day since March 2020. The electronics retailer sources approximately 60% of its goods from China with goods from Mexico also making up a significant percentage, <a href="https://www.thestreet.com/investing/stocks/s-p-global-reveals-stocks-hit-hardest-by-tariffs">according</a> to S&amp;P Global.&nbsp;
Five Below, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FIVE#NASDAQ">FIVE</a>) also imports a large share of its goods and saw its stock price fall nearly 30% in Thursday's midday trading.&nbsp;
Lululemon Athletica, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LULU#NASDAQ">LULU</a>) sources approximately 40% of its products from Vietnam and 17% from Cambodia, according <a href="https://qz.com/lululemon-nike-deckers-american-eagle-tariffs-1851774516">to data</a> from Quartz. Both countries have been hit with steep tariff rates &#8211; 46% for Vietnam and 49% for Cambodia.&nbsp;
William Blair analyst Sharon Zackfia said in a note Thursday that the tariffs could result in a 7% hit to Lululemon's margins if the company takes no action.&nbsp;
Several other retail stocks were tumbling in Thursday's midday trading, including:&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>American Eagle Outfitters, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AEO#NYSE">AEO</a>)&nbsp;</li>

Retail Stocks Slammed As Trump's Tariff Plan Sends Shockwaves Through Sector

President Donald Trump's sweeping new trade tariffs sent shockwaves through global markets on Thursday, triggering a massive sell-off that echoed the COVID-19 pandemic-era routs, as investor risk <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets">appetite vanished in a flash.</a>
Wall Street saw a staggering $2 trillion in market cap erased, with the U.S.&#8217;s biggest 10 companies shedding $1 trillion alone.
Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) plunged 8.7%, staring down its worst day since March 2020 and wiping out nearly $300 billion in value. NVIDIA Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) tumbled 6.4%, losing $171.9 billion, while Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) dropped 8%, on pace for a $166 billion hit.

The S&amp;P 500 fell nearly 4%, poised for its worst session since September 2022, and sank to a seven-month low. Small caps took the brunt of the sell-off, with the Russell 2000 plunging over 5% and officially entering a bear market, now down more than 20% from its 2024 peak.
Fears of retaliatory action from key U.S. trading partners dragged every major sector into the red, except for defensive plays like consumer staples and utilities.
Consumer discretionary stocks were slammed. Apparel names posted double-digit losses: Ralph Lauren Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RL#NYSE">RL</a>), Nike Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NKE#NYSE">NKE</a>), Lululemon Athletica Inc.

Cruise lines were also hit hard: Norwegian Cruise Holdings Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NCLH#NYSE">NCLH</a>) sank 13%, Carnival Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CCL#NYSE">CCL</a>) fell 10%, and Royal Caribbean Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RCL#NYSE">RCL</a>) slid 9%.
Bond markets saw a mild flight to safety. Treasury yields edged lower, yet the U.S. dollar weakened 1.6%, with the DXY index heading for its worst day since November 2022.
Commodities weren't spared. Oil prices nosedived on fears of a global slowdown, worsened by OPEC+'s surprise move to raise output. West Texas Intermediate crude plunged 7.5%, slipping below $70 per barrel.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) showed relative resilience in the carnage, dipping just 1% and holding above $81,600.

Shares of companies within retail, apparel, and e-commerce industries are trading lower amid heavy selling pressure as markets react to President Trump's tariff announcements, which may hamper consumer spending.

While the tariffs announced by President Donald Trump are already dragging markets deep into the red, early signs of strain are beginning to emerge in corporate health indicators, raising concerns that the services sector, the backbone of the U.S. economy, may no longer be <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s">able to sustain growth.</a>
The Institute for Supply Management&#8217;s Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) survey revealed a marked deterioration in sentiment among service-sector businesses last month, further igniting investor concerns on the state of the economy. 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">ISM Services PMI Falls More Than Expected</h3>
The ISM Services PMI fell sharply to 50.9% in March, down from 53.5% in February, which had been the highest reading since August 2023. The decline was steeper than expected, with forecasts pointing to a more modest drop to 53%.
This was the lowest reading since December and only marginally above the 50% threshold that separates expansion from contraction.
The Business Activity Index, a gauge of current output, actually strengthened to 55.9% in March from 54.4%, extending its expansion streak to 58 consecutive months. However, forward-looking indicators showed weakness.
The New Orders Index dropped to 50.4% from 52.2%, suggesting waning customer demand, while the Backlog of Orders Index slipped to 45.6%, down from 47.7%, marking a third straight month of contraction.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Employment Index Craters, Hiring Freezes Emerge</h3>
The most striking component of the report was the collapse in the Employment Index, which plunged to 46.2% from 53.9%—a 7.7 percentage point drop and a nine-month low, marking its first contraction in six months.
That's a red flag for a services sector that comprises nearly 80% of U.S. private-sector employment. The reading suggests that companies are either slowing down hiring, cutting jobs outright, or scaling back hours amid economic uncertainty.
In the ISM's qualitative commentary, respondents in professional, scientific and technical services reported a loosening labor market. They cited easier hiring conditions, declining staff turnover and a more abundant supply of high-quality job candidates.
One participant said, "Have been able to hire high-quality employees to fill open positions," while another described a "conservative view of the job market and economy," noting they are "not adding head count or resources."
Now, 19.2% of respondents anticipate reducing employment, up from 15% in February.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Inflation Still Hot Despite Easing Slightly</h3>
The Prices Index registered at 60.9%, down modestly from 62.6% in February, but still above the 60% mark for a fourth straight month. That signals input cost pressures remain elevated, even as demand cools.
The ISM also noted a surge in mentions of tariff-related cost pressures, citing "a significant increase this month in the number of respondents reporting cost increases due to tariff activity."
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Market Reactions: Stocks Fall, Traders Eye Four Rate Cuts</h3>
The weaker-than-expected ISM Services PMI intensified the tariff-driven selloff on Wall Street, dragging major U.S. equity indexes to new session lows.
The S&amp;P 500 index – as trakced by the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) – fell 4.1% to 5,440 points, eyeing the worst session since September 2022. 
The Nasdaq 100 – tracked by the Invesco QQQ Trust, Series 1 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>) – sank 4.4%, hitting a 7-month low.
Shares of Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) were down 8.5%, on track for their worst day since March 2020. 
Similarly, major banks like Bank of America Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>) and Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>) fell 8.7% and 9.10%, eyeing their worst days in five years. 
Ralph Lauren (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RL#NYSE">RL</a>) was the S&amp;P 500&#8217;s worst performer for the day, down 17%, also heading for its worst session since March 2020.
In money markets, traders ramped up bets on Federal Reserve rate cuts following the downbeat economic data. According to the CME FedWatch Tool, the probability of four 25-basis-point cuts by December 2025 surged to as high as 67%. 
The shift in expectations triggered a sharp selloff in the U.S. dollar, which plunged 2.1%—its steepest single-day drop since November 2022.

This Willis Towers Watson Analyst Turns Bullish; Here Are Top 5 Upgrades For Tuesday

Ralph Lauren Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RL#NYSE">RL</a>) is poised for market share gains and margin expansion, given its improving execution and "building momentum within the company's brand elevation strategy," according to Goldman Sachs.
The Ralph Lauren Analyst: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/60eef53155f722000105d101/brooke-roach">Analyst Brooke Roach</a> upgraded the rating from Neutral to Buy, while raising the price target from $280 to $286.
The Ralph Lauren Thesis: There is high visibility into the company's earnings growth ahead, given its "broad-based geographic and category growth opportunity and idiosyncratic drivers of margin expansion," Roach said in the upgrade note.
Check out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">other analyst stock ratings</a>.
Ralph Lauren has lower exposure to near-term macro risks than its peers, such as "tariffs, department store slowdown, and the health of the lower-income consumer," she added.
Improving execution of key strategic initiatives could continue driving earnings growth, the analyst stated.
"More recently, we have seen a pullback in valuations across the apparel sector due to macro uncertainty and market volatility, which we believe presents a buying opportunity for companies demonstrating limited signs of slowdown even amidst an increasingly volatile macro backdrop, such as RL," Roach further wrote.
RL Price Action: Shares of Ralph Laurenhad risen by 0.14% to $220.33 at the time of publication on Tuesday.
