Stock market today: Dow slides after CPI inflation accelerates, Nvidia's surge lifts Nasdaq to record
The S&P 500 (^GSPC) fell 0.4%, reversing course throughout the day. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) lost 0.7%, or over 400 points. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) climbed 0.2% to close at a fresh record, buoyed by AI chipmaker Nvidia, whose gains helped the stock notch its own new record close.
Nvidia hit a fresh record close after the company said that it's planning to resume sales of its AI chips to China — one of its most important markets — after receiving assurances from the US government that it will be granted approval. The dramatic reversal in the Trump administration's earlier stance on export curbs, part of its trade standoff with Beijing, helped lift shares of chip stocks across the board.
President Trump's trade policy also loomed over the June consumer inflation report, which showed the first real signs of tariff-driven price increases. The Consumer Price Index headline number rose 0.3% month over month and 2.7% year over year, both accelerations from May's data.
The 10-year Treasury yield (^TNX) climbed more than 6 basis points to nearly 4.5%, while the 30-year Treasury yield (^TYX) rose 5 basis points to more than 5% for the first time since May, as investors pared bets on Fed rate cuts both this month and September.
Meanwhile, big banks unofficially kicked off earnings season Tuesday morning. Shares of JPMorgan (JPM) and Wells Fargo (WFC) fell, while Citi (C) climbed after its results topped Wall Street's expectations.

In the backdrop are Trump's escalatory moves on tariffs over the past week. He has spent the last several days threatening key trade partners, most notably Canada, the European Union, and Mexico, with high duties from Aug. 1.

S&P 500, Dow end lower while Nasdaq notches fresh record
The S&P 500 (^GSPC) fell 0.4% to end Tuesday, a reversal from gains earlier in the day. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) fell more than 400 points.
The Materials (XLV), Health Care (XLV), and Financial (XLF) Sectors led declines on the S&P 500 amid a Consumer Price Index report that showed inflation ticking up in June and mixed quarterly earnings results from major financial institutions.
Meanwhile, tech stocks pushed higher Tuesday, with the Nasdaq (^IXIC) closing the trading session up 0.2%, paring earlier gains but notching a fresh record high. The index's gains were fueled by a jump in shares of AI chipmaker Nvidia (NVDA), which hit its own fresh record high.
Coinbase, crypto stocks fall after Congress fails to advance crypto bills
Crypto stocks fell after the US House of Representatives failed to advance three cryptocurrency-related bills on Tuesday.
One of those bills was the GENIUS Act, which was passed by the Senate in June and would establish a regulatory framework for stablecoin issuers.
Shares of stablecoin issuer Circle (CRCL), which went public in a stunning IPO in early June, fell 4.6%. Strategy (MSTR), the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin, fell 1.9%, and shares of crypto exchange Coinbase (COIN) dropped 1.5%.
Bitcoin itself was down 2.7% at the market close Tuesday.
Investor expectations for a 'hard landing' are tumbling
Investor sentiment is the most bullish it has been since February, according to the latest Bank of America Fund Manager's Survey released on Tuesday.
Optimism around the trajectory of the global economy has been backing the renewed optimism seen in stocks. Just 9% of respondents to the July survey believed the most likely outcome for the economy in the next 12 months is a "hard landing," where the economic growth slows to recessionary levels. That marked the lowest number of respondents seeing a dour outlook for the economy since February and was a far cry from the 49% projecting a downturn at the peak of President Trump's tariff escalation in April.
With Trump once again spinning the tariff dial higher, how expectations shift in this chart shift in the coming months will remain a key talking point when understanding how investor fears around tariffs are evolving.

Meanwhile, the Health Care (XLV) and Energy (XLB) Sectors dragged indexes lower Tuesday after the latest Consumer Price Index report showed prices rising in June and lowered expectations for rate cuts from the Federal Reserve.
The Financial Sector (XLF) was dragged lower as the stocks of large financial institutions — JPMorgan (JPM), Wells Fargo (WFC), BlackRock (BLK), and The Bank of New York Mellon (BK) — fell amid mixed earnings results.

Alibaba, Baidu jump as the Chinese tech firms are 'poised to benefit from Nvidia's return to China'
US-listed shares of Alibaba (BABA) and Baidu (BIDU) jumped 6.4% and 7.8%, respectively, on Tuesday following news that Nvidia (NVDA) is set to resume sales of its AI chips to China.
CFRA Research analyst Angelo Zino said the two Chinese tech giants, which operate AI cloud services, are "poised to benefit from Nvidia's return to China."
"Both companies are aggressively stepping up AI infrastructure build efforts, which we expect to help drive AI spending growth in the region," Zino wrote in an analysis Tuesday. "Access to advanced Nvidia chips is a welcoming sign for Chinese cloud providers."
Zino added: "Although we acknowledge that Chinese companies like Huawei are developing their own AI chips, we think domestic brands are inferior to the performance constrained H20 GPUs."

MP Materials stock soars after $500 million rare earths deal with Apple
US-based rare earth materials miner MP Materials Corp. (MP) saw its stock soar more than 22% Tuesday after announcing a deal with Apple (AAPL).
Apple on Tuesday said that it had committed to a $500 million multiyear deal with MP Materials to buy its rare earth magnets for the tech giant's products.
The iPhone maker said the deal was part of its effort to build out its US supply chain. Apple has committed to spending over $500 billion in the US to help expand its domestic manufacturing capacity.
'Rare earth materials are essential for making advanced technology, and this partnership will help strengthen the supply of these vital materials here in the United States," Apple CEO Tim Cook said Tuesday.
Apple has come under pressure from President Trump, who has threatened the company with 25% tariffs on its overseas-made iPhones.
Apple stock rose fractionally on Tuesday morning.
Tech leads US stocks higher
Tech led stocks higher on Tuesday as chip stocks rose across the board following news that AI chipmaker Nvidia (NVDA) and its rival AMD (AMD) were on track to resume sales of their chips to China.
The Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) jumped 0.7%, while the S&P 500 (^GSPC) rose 0.3%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) fell 0.3%, as a key consumer inflation report showed prices accelerated in June.
Meanwhile, big banks' earnings season kicked off with mixed results from JPMorgan (JPM), Citi C) and Wells Fargo (WFC). Shares of Citi rose after better-than-expected earnings, while Wells Fargo fell as the bank cut its full year forecast for net interest income, a key profitability metric.
JPMorgan's dealmaking boost in the quarter demonstrated how Wall Street recovered from Trump's most sweeping tariffs in real time but wasn't enough to push the stock higher, with shares falling 1% early Tuesday.
Chip stocks jump, Nvidia eyes fresh record as it looks to resume H20 sales to China
Chip stocks climbed Tuesday before the market open after Nvidia (NVDA) and AMD (AMD) said they are planning to resume sales of their AI chips to China after the US government approves them.

Micron (MU) and Broadcom (AVGO) rose about 2%. US-listed shares of Nvidia and AMD's contract manufacturer, TSMC (TSM), gained more than 2%.
Nvidia's gain is set to push the stock to a new record high, boosting the company's market cap further above the $4 trillion mark after cementing its spot as the world's most valuable company in history last week.

On a month-over-month basis, prices increased 0.3%, in line with economists' expectations. Prices increased 0.1% on a monthly basis in May by comparison.
On a "core" basis, which strips out the more volatile costs of food and gas, prices in June climbed 0.2% over the prior month, ahead of May's 0.1% rise but below consensus projections for a 0.3% increase. Over the last year, core prices rose 2.9%, in line with expectations and above the 2.8% seen the month prior.

Gold bounces back from early week slip
Gold (GC=F) prices rebounded from a mild dip Monday as global tariff talks have failed to offer investors a sense of security, bolstering the value of the haven asset.
Bloomberg reports:
Bullion rose as much as 0.5% after dropping by a similar amount in the previous session. President Donald Trump said he was open to more talks with major economies including the European Union. But that appeared to be at odds with his insistence that letters to governments setting tariff rates are 'the deals' for trade partners.
The precious metal has surged by more than a quarter this year, hitting a record above $3,500 an ounce in April, as the US's aggressive and erratic trade policy enhanced its appeal as a store of value in uncertain times. However, the rally has stalled over the last three months as investors wait for more clarity on the eventual contours of the new trade system, and on signs they're hesitant to buy gold at such elevated levels.
'If trade talks deteriorate before August, we could easily see bullion retest or even breach its former highs,' said Fawad Razaqzada, a market analyst at City Index. 'For now, the market seems firmly in wait-and-see mode, keeping the gold forecast leaning cautiously bullish.'

Gold bounces back from early week slip
Gold (GC=F) prices rebounded from a mild dip Monday as global tariff talks have failed to offer investors a sense of security, bolstering the value of the haven asset.
Bloomberg reports:
Bullion rose as much as 0.5% after dropping by a similar amount in the previous session. President Donald Trump said he was open to more talks with major economies including the European Union. But that appeared to be at odds with his insistence that letters to governments setting tariff rates are 'the deals' for trade partners.
The precious metal has surged by more than a quarter this year, hitting a record above $3,500 an ounce in April, as the US's aggressive and erratic trade policy enhanced its appeal as a store of value in uncertain times. However, the rally has stalled over the last three months as investors wait for more clarity on the eventual contours of the new trade system, and on signs they're hesitant to buy gold at such elevated levels.
'If trade talks deteriorate before August, we could easily see bullion retest or even breach its former highs,' said Fawad Razaqzada, a market analyst at City Index. 'For now, the market seems firmly in wait-and-see mode, keeping the gold forecast leaning cautiously bullish.'

Stock market today: Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq futures slump after weak jobs report, Trump's sweeping tariffs, Amazon's earnings flub
US stock futures sank on Friday after President Trump officially hit virtually every US trading partner with sweeping tariff hikes, while the June jobs report showed signs of a labor market slowdown. Dow Jones Industrial Average futures (YM=F) dropped 0.9%, while those on the S&P 500 (ES=F) fell around 1%. Contracts on the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 (NQ=F) also sank around 1%, on the heels of a losing day for the major US gauges. The retreat in stocks came as markets assessed the reshaped US trade landscape after President Trump on Thursday hit dozens of countries — including crucial partners Taiwan and India — with steep new tariffs. His executive order formally authorized a hike in levies on Canada to 35%, to go into effect on Friday. Most of the other "reciprocal" rates range from 15% to 40% (though the baseline remains 10%) and will be implemented in seven days. The White House also confirmed details of trade agreements negotiated by some trading partners before the Aug 1. deadline for "Liberation Day" tariffs to hit. But Trump said the implementation of the hiked levies will be pushed back by seven days, opening up scope for more talks. Read more: The latest on Trump's tariffs The June jobs report released Friday morning came in weaker than expected, with the economy adding some 73,000 jobs, versus 104,000 expected. The prior two months were also revised down. The unemployment rate ticked up to 4.2%, as expected. The key indicator of US economic health will be closely watched by the Federal Reserve, whose preferred inflation gauge on Thursday showed signs of increasing price pressures. Also dragging on spirits was disappointment over Amazon's (AMZN) earnings released late Thursday. The performance of its AWS cloud unit failed to live up to lofty expectations set by rivals Google (GOOG, GOOGL) and Microsoft (MSFT), sending its shares down over 8%. But Apple (AAPL) stock rose after its results beat expectations, boosted by surprisingly strong iPhone sales. US labor market adds 73,000 jobs in July while unemployment rate hits 4.2% Stock futures fell premarket after the July jobs report showed US nonfarm payrolls missed estimates. Dow Jones Industrial Average futures (YM=F) dropped 0.9%, while those on the S&P 500 (ES=F) fell around 1%. Contracts on the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 (NQ=F) sank 1.1%.

European stocks slide after Trump announces new tariffs European stocks fell on Friday after President Trump confirmed new tariff rates, including a 15% tariff rate on goods from the European Union and a 10% rate for the UK.

In a twist, Trump said the new tariffs will take effect a week from now, instead of today, as was originally telegraphed. Still, global markets were rattled by the latest change to US trade policy. Swiss manufacturers warned Friday that tens of thousands of jobs are at risk after President Trump imposed steep tariffs. European pharmaceutical companies, such as Novo Nordisk (NVO) and AstraZeneca (AZN), were also in the red Thursday and will be stocks to watch Friday after Trump sent a letter to 17 companies, urging them to lower prices.
