World shares mostly climb after a rally for Apple leads Wall Street higher
MANILA, Philippines -- World shares mostly advanced and financial markets appeared to show scant if any reaction to President Donald Trump's higher tariffs on exports to the United States that took effect early Thursday. In early European trading, Germany's DAX rose 0.9% to 24,137.51. In Paris, the CAC 40 added 0.8% to 7,693.36, while Britain's FTSE 100 shed 0.3% to 9,138.96. The future for S&P 500 edged 0.5% higher while that for Dow Jones Industrial Average added 0.3%. In Asian trading, Japan's benchmark Nikkei 225 added 0.7% to 41,059.15. Hong Kong's Hang Seng climbed 0.7% to 25,081.63, and the Shanghai Composite added 0.2% to 3,639.67. China reported that its exports picked up in July, helped by a flurry of shipments by businesses taking advantage of a pause in Trump's tariff war with Beijing. South Korea's Kospi rose 0.9% to 3,227.68, while the S&P/ASX 200 in Australia shed 0.1% to 8,831.40. India's Sensex gave up 0.8% after Trump ordered tariffs on imports from the world's most populous nation to rise to 50%, citing its crude oil imports from Russia. Trump also declared 100% tariffs on computer chips with an exemption for U.S. investments. Apple's shares rose 5.1% on Wednesday ahead of a White House event where it announced an increase to its U.S. investments of an additional $100 billion over the next four years. Mizuho Bank, in a commentary, said the Trump's exemption from 100% tariffs on semiconductors for those with investments in U.S. production means some U.S. trading partners may be able to use their investments in the U.S. as a bargaining chip. Taiwan's Taiex jumped 2.4% as shares in market heavyweight Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Corp. surged 4.9%. TSMC is the world's largest contract maker of computer chips and it has been ramping up its investments in U.S. factory capacity, helping to alleviate the impact from higher tariffs. South Korean chipmakers also saw strong gains, with Samsung Electronics jumping 2.5% after the government said its products would also be subject to the exemption. On Wednesday, a rally for Apple led Wall Street higher, with U.S. stocks reclaiming more of their sharp losses from last week. The S&P 500 rose 0.7% and the Dow added 0.2%. The Nasdaq composite climbed 1.2%. Apple alone accounted for more than a third of the S&P 500's gain. Trading elsewhere on Wall Street was mixed following a jumble of profit reports. McDonald's and Shopify rose following their latest updates, while Super Micro Computer tumbled after its earnings and revenue came in below analysts' expectations. The Walt Disney Co. fell after its earnings beat forecasts but its revenue fell short Worries are still high that Trump's tariffs may be hurting the economy, but hopes for coming cuts to interest rates by the Federal Reserve and a parade of stronger-than-expected profit reports from U.S. companies have helped steady the market. In other dealings early Thursday, benchmark U.S. crude gained 19 cents to $64.54 a barrel. Brent crude, the international standard, added 25 cents to $67.14 a barrel.

Why DuPont Stock Topped the Market on Tuesday
Key Points The company beat the consensus analyst estimates for both revenue and profitability in its second quarter. It also raised guidance, hence the positive investor reaction. 10 stocks we like better than DuPont de Nemours › On the back of a beat-and-raise second quarter, storied chemical company DuPont (NYSE: DD) saw a satisfying share price rise on Tuesday. The company's stock became more than 2% more valuable that trading session as the market digested its results. That increase was particularly impressive when matched against the S&P 500 index's 0.5% slide on the day. Two beats in quarter two DuPont's earnings release, published before market open, revealed that the company's revenue for the period was $3.26 billion. That was 3% higher than that of the same quarter last year. It was also high enough -- albeit barely -- to edge past the consensus $3.24 billion analyst estimate. Within its sprawling product assortment, DuPont saw particularly robust growth in its electronics segment, which saw a 6% rise in sales. As for regional performance, the Asia Pacific region led with a 4% increase, followed by 2% in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and 1% in North America. On the bottom line, non-GAAP (adjusted) net income cranked quite a bit higher. It came in at $468 million, or $1.12 per share; this was nearly 15% above the year-ago profit. It also represented a more convincing beat for DuPont, as the collective pundit forecast was $1.06 per share. In the earnings release, DuPont quoted CEO Lori Koch as saying that "Ongoing strength in electronics, healthcare and water end-markets, along with our team's focus on operational execution continued to drive strong earnings growth and cash conversion." Annual bottom-line boost With those tailwinds, DuPont is clearly feeling bullish about the future. It raised its full-year guidance for adjusted net income, which is now anticipated to ring in at around $4.40 per share. That should derive from roughly $12.85 billion in net sales.

US stock futures higher as Trump threatens semiconductor tax
U.S. stock futures are higher after President Donald Trump said semiconductors would face a 100% tax unless the companies "are building in the United States." The carveout was a relief for companies like Apple that invest in the United States. Apple just said it plans to spend an additional $100 billion on U.S. companies and suppliers over the next four years, in addition a $500 billion investment announced in February. Taiwan said TSMC is exempted from the tax, and South Korea said chips from Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix won't be subject to the 100% tariff either. The comments come on the heels of an earlier announcement of an additional 25% tax on India to bring the total levy to 50%. Trump said the additional tariff is because India continues to buy Russian oil. Other countries are racing to strike a deal with Trump with the Aug 7 deadline here. Nations without a deal face new tariffs. At 6 a.m., futures tied to the blue-chip Dow rose 0.48%, while broad S&P 500 futures added 0.69% and tech-heavy Nasdaq futures gained 0.70%. Investors are also eyeing corporate earnings, which have been mostly positive. About 80% of reports are beating analysts' earnings expectations, above the 76% average of the last four quarters, according to data provider LSEG. Data also showed earnings growth for the quarter is estimated at 12.1%, up from 5.8% at the beginning of July. Corporate news Cryptocurrency Actelis Networks said its board approved a cryptocurrency treasury strategy to help it diversify its balance sheet.
