Wall St ends lower as investors weigh tariff impact
The Dow fell 61.90 points, or 0.14%, to 44,111.74, the S&P 500 lost 30.75 points, or 0.49%, to 6,299.19 and the Nasdaq lost 137.03 points, or 0.65%, to 20,916.55. NEW YORK: US stocks ended lower on Tuesday as investors weighed the impact of tariffs after Yum Brands and other companies cited trade duties in their results or outlooks. The US trade deficit narrowed in June on a sharp drop in consumer goods imports, and the trade gap with China shrank to its lowest in more than 21 years. In addition, a measure of activity in the US services sector hit stall-speed in July, with businesses saying new import taxes are pushing costs higher. Shares of KFC parent Yum Brands fell 5.1% after the company missed estimates for the second quarter, as steep trade duties restricted consumer spending. Caterpillar warned US tariffs would pose significant challenges in the second half of the year and cost it up to US$1.5 billion in 2025, but its shares ended up 0.1%. The comments come at the tail end of the US second-quarter earnings season, in which about 80% of reports from S&P 500 companies are beating analyst profit expectations. "If you look at results, they are trending above low-bar expectations," said Terry Sandven, chief equity strategist at US Bank Wealth Management in Minneapolis, Minnesota. "The impact of tariffs remains a work in progress. We're not seeing any meaningful impact on company profitability with tariffs. We do know, however, that they loom." The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 61.90 points, or 0.14%, to 44,111.74, the S&P 500 lost 30.75 points, or 0.49%, to 6,299.19 and the Nasdaq Composite lost 137.03 points, or 0.65%, to 20,916.55. Trump on Tuesday said the US could impose a "small tariff" on pharmaceutical imports before increasing the rate subsequently. He also signalled an announcement on tariffs on semiconductors and chips in the "next week or so." "Today's market action reflects investors that are merely in pause mode," Sandven said, noting that the backdrop for equities remains constructive for the year. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq hit a string of record highs recently, and the S&P 500 remains up 7.1% for the year so far. In other results-related news, Marriott International cut its full-year forecast for revenue growth and profit and signaled slowing travel demand and economic uncertainties. Its stock closed up 0.2%. While the earnings period is winding down, investors look forward to more key results on Wednesday, with both Walt Disney and McDonald's due to report. Advancing issues outnumbered decliners by a 1.27-to-1 ratio on the NYSE. There were 158 new highs and 67 new lows on the NYSE. On the Nasdaq, 2,216 stocks rose and 2,365 fell as declining issues outnumbered advancers by a 1.07-to-1 ratio. Volume on US exchanges was 16.29 billion shares, compared with the roughly 18.33 billion average for the full session over the last 20 trading days. — Reuters

EU halts 93-bln-euro tariffs on U.S. goods despite members' dissent
BRUSSELS, Aug. 5 (Xinhua) -- The European Commission on Tuesday formally suspended planned retaliatory tariffs on U.S. imports worth 93 billion euros (about 108 billion U.S. dollars), just days before they were due to take effect. The Commission's trade spokesperson, Olof Gill, said the decision was adopted under an emergency procedure and will require formal approval by a simple majority of member states within two weeks. The tariffs were scheduled to take effect on Aug. 7. "The Commission has today adopted necessary legal procedures to suspend the implementation of our European Union (EU) countermeasures," Gill told a press briefing in Brussels, adding that the regulation would be published in the EU's official journal later the same day. Ahead of this announcement, there has been mounting criticism from key member states, including France and Germany. German Vice Chancellor and Finance Minister Lars Klingbeil has expressed frustration at what he described as a "weak" negotiating stance by the EU during the trade talks with the United States. "I think we were too weak. We can't be satisfied with the result that was achieved," Klingbeil said, referring to the agreement reached late last month between European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and U.S. President Donald Trump. Under the deal, most EU imports to the United States will face a 15-percent tariff, while the bloc has pledged to purchase more American energy products and increase investment in the U.S. market. Gill expressed surprise at Klingbeil's remarks, noting that member states had been "fully briefed" and had supported a negotiated outcome to avoid tariff escalation. The spokesperson said the suspension would remain in place for six months, during which implementation of the broader understanding would continue. If commitments are not met, Gill noted, the EU retains the right to reactivate its countermeasures. (1 euro = 1.16 dollar)

Trump says he will ‘substantially' raise tariffs on India over Russian oil purchases
US President Donald Trump said he will substantially raise tariffs on India. - Photo: Reuters WASHINGTON: President Donald Trump said he would raise tariffs on Indian goods "over the next 24 hours' in response to New Delhi's continued purchases of Russian oil. Trump announced a 25% duty on India's exports to the US and has threatened repeatedly to increase that rate to punish the country for buying Russian energy, an effort to pressure Russian President Vladimir Putin to end the war in Ukraine. "We settled on 25% but I think I'm going to raise that very substantially over the next 24 hours, because they're buying Russian oil,' Trump said Tuesday (Aug 5) in a CNBC interview. "They're fueling the war machine. And if they're going to do that, then I'm not going to be happy.' Trump has escalated his fight with India over trade, unilaterally imposing a tariff rate after months of negotiations failed to secure a deal. He accused New Delhi of refusing to ease access for American goods and criticizing its membership in the BRICS group of developing economies. The US president has also set an Aug. 8 deadline for Russia to reach a truce with Ukraine, with the administration threatening so-called secondary sanctions on countries that purchase energy from Moscow. Ukraine's allies say those purchases prop up Putin's war effort. Trump in the interview said that if energy prices went down it would undercut Putin's ability to continue his invasion of Ukraine - now in its fourth year. "If energy goes down low enough, Putin's going to stop killing people,' Trump said. "If you get energy down another US$10 a barrel, he's going to have no choice, because his economy stinks.' The Indian government has indicated it intends to continue talks with the US in hopes of securing lower tariffs. It has also called Trump's threat over energy purchases unjustified. India is considering ramping up natural gas purchases from the US and increasing imports of communication equipment and gold. - Bloomberg
