Wall Street gains, as oil prices reverse course
NEW YORK/LONDON, Aug 6 (Reuters) - Wall Street indexes gained on largely upbeat corporate earnings, and U.S. yields also rose on Wednesday, while European shares closed flat and broke a two-day winning streak. U.S. President Donald Trump issued an executive order imposing an additional 25% tariff on goods from India, saying the country has imported Russian oil. Oil prices reversed earlier gains and touched fresh lows after U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio indicated there would be an announcement later on Wednesday regarding potential sanctions against Russia over its war in Ukraine. MSCI's gauge of stocks across the globe (.MIWD00000PUS), opens new tab rose 0.72% to 933.94. On Wall Street, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (.DJI), opens new tab rose 0.32% to 44,254.95, the S&P 500 (.SPX), opens new tab gained 0.76% to 6,347.26 and the Nasdaq Composite (.IXIC), opens new tab added 1.16% to 21,160.02. "Earnings are seeing a mixed reaction. Particularly for a few of the AI names, expectations were just extremely high, but by and large, the earnings in aggregate have been good enough to keep a floor under the market," said Ross Mayfield, investment strategy analyst at Baird. Europe's broad STOXX 600 index (.STOXX), opens new tab closed 0.06% lower, dragged down by healthcare stocks after Trump announced a tariff plan for the pharmaceutical sector. MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan (.MIAPJ0000PUS), opens new tab closed lower by 0.08% to 654.33, while Japan's Nikkei (.N225), opens new tab rose 0.60% to 40,794.86. The health of the U.S. economy is a major focus for markets, and Wall Street closed lower on Tuesday after data showed services sector activity unexpectedly flatlined in July. That reinforced the message from Friday's soft jobs data, which caused markets to significantly increase bets on the Federal Reserve cutting rates in September. "There's this tug-of-war going on between the more concrete signs that we have seen that the U.S. economy is slowing and the fact that rate cuts are coming, which removes some of the pressure on valuations," said Samy Chaar, chief economist at Lombard Odier. Traders have been focused on tariff impacts. "The market is more focused on the fact that we're not getting maximalist tariffs, but I wonder if it isn't focusing enough on the fact that we are still getting something moderate, and more could be coming, pharmaceuticals for example," Chaar said. Trump on Tuesday said he would announce tariffs on semiconductors and chips in the next week or so, while the U.S. would initially impose a "small tariff" on pharmaceutical imports before increasing it substantially in a year or two. He said the U.S. was close to a trade deal with China, and he would meet his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping before the end of the year if an agreement was struck. Brazil's government has filed a consultation request at the World Trade Organization over U.S. tariffs. In the government bond market, Treasury yields gained ground. The yield on benchmark U.S. 10-year notes rose 4.2 basis points to 4.238%, from 4.196% late on Tuesday. Fed funds futures imply a 94% chance of a rate cut next month, with at least two cuts priced in for this year, according to the CME's FedWatch. Investors are waiting for Trump's pick to fill a coming vacancy on the Fed board of governors. Trump said the decision will be made soon, while ruling out Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent as a contender to replace current chief Jerome Powell, whose term ends in May 2026. The euro was 0.71% higher at $1.1656. The dollar index , which measures the greenback against a basket of currencies including the yen and the euro, fell 0.53% to 98.20. Brent oil futures lost 0.95% to $67 a barrel and U.S. crude fell 1.14% to $64.43. Spot gold prices fell 0.33% to $3,369.62 an ounce. U.S. gold futures settled flat at $3,433.4.

Kashkari: Fed needs to respond to slowing economy, two cuts this year would be reasonable
WASHINGTON, Aug 6 (Reuters) - The U.S. Federal Reserve may need to cut interest rates in the near term in response to a slowing U.S. economy, even though it remains unclear whether tariffs will continue to push inflation higher, Minneapolis Fed President Neel Kashkari said on Wednesday. "The economy is slowing, and that means in the near term it may become appropriate to start adjusting," Kashkari said in an interview on CNBC's Squawk Box, adding that two quarter-percentage-point rate cuts by the end of the year "seems reasonable to me." Kashkari said concerns about rising inflation remain valid, but that it will take time to know whether that poses a problem for the Fed reaching its 2% inflation target or not. Meanwhile a weak jobs report and downward revisions to prior months' employment data add to a developing set of statistics that show the economy slowing to a degree the Fed cannot ignore, Kashkari said. Recent data "suggests the real underlying economy is slowing. I've got confidence that that is happening," Kashkari said. "How long can we wait until the tariff effects become clear? That's just weighing on me right now." Kashkari does not have a vote on interest rate policy this year, but his arguments are similar to those voiced by two Fed governors who dissented at the Fed's decision last week to hold the policy rate steady while awaiting more clarity on how rising import tariffs will feed through to consumer prices. A slowdown in job creation and rise in the unemployment rate in July have begun shifting the narrative, however, to put more focus on risks to the Fed's other goal of maintaining maximum employment.
