Wall Street ends higher as investors track US-China trade talks
The US stock market surged in recent weeks, rebounding from an April slump sparked by Donald Trump's 'Liberation Day' tariffs. (AP pic) NEW YORK : The S&P 500 ended higher on Tuesday, lifted by a rally in Tesla as investors bet on positive results from US-China trade talks aimed at defusing a tariff dispute that has roiled global markets this year. Wall Street expects improved trade terms after relief from a preliminary deal struck last month was overshadowed by Washington's allegations that Beijing was blocking exports of rare earth minerals critical to the aerospace, semiconductor and defence sectors. US commerce secretary Howard Lutnick said the trade talks were going well and he hoped they would end on Tuesday night, but said they could run into Wednesday. The US stock market has surged in recent weeks, recovering from an April slump sparked by US President Donald Trump's 'Liberation Day' sweeping global tariffs. With investors betting the US will reach trade agreements that reduce Trump's steep trade barriers, the S&P 500 is now trading just below its February record highs. 'The expectation is that they'll figure this out, and that the Liberation Day tariff levels are never going to be seen. You can't get to market valuations where we've got them and have those tariff levels get anywhere close to reality,' said Scott Ladner, chief investment officer at Horizon Investments. Shares of Wall Street's most valuable companies were mixed. Tesla rose 5.6%, while Microsoft slipped 0.4%. Alphabet climbed 1.4% after Reuters reported that OpenAI plans to add Alphabet's Google cloud service to meet its growing needs for computing capacity. The S&P 500 climbed 0.55% to end the session at 6,038.81 points. The Nasdaq gained 0.63% to 19,714.99 points, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.25% to 42,866.87 points. Of the 11 S&P 500 sector indexes, 10 rose, led by energy, up 1.77%, followed by a 1.19% gain in consumer discretionary. Volume on US exchanges was relatively heavy, with 18.5 billion shares traded, compared to an average of 17.9 billion shares over the previous 20 sessions. Investors are awaiting US consumer prices data on Wednesday for clues to the Federal Reserve's rate trajectory. The World Bank slashed its global growth forecast for 2025 by 0.4 percentage point to 2.3%, saying higher tariffs and heightened uncertainty posed a 'significant headwind' for nearly all economies. Insmed shares jumped almost 29% after the drugmaker said its experimental drug significantly reduced blood pressure in the lungs and improved exercise capacity in patients in a mid-stage study. J.M. Smucker's shares tumbled 15.6% after the Jif peanut butter maker forecast annual profit below estimates. Snap ended down 0.1% after the social media platform said it would launch its first-ever smart glasses for all consumers next year, ratcheting up competition with Meta in the wearable technology market. Advancing issues outnumbered falling ones within the S&P 500 by a 2.0-to-one ratio. The S&P 500 posted 12 new highs and 2 new lows; the Nasdaq recorded 75 new highs and 45 new lows.

REUTERS/Dado Ruvic/Illustration (Reuters) -Social media platform X showed signs of recovery on Saturday after an outage disrupted access for thousands of users in the United States, according to outage tracking website Reports of disruptions had dropped to around 1,041 by 7:42 p.m. ET, down from a peak of more than 10,000, according to Downdetector, which tracks outages by collating status reports from various sources. Downdetector's numbers are based on user-submitted reports. The actual number of affected users may vary. In May, Musk, who spent nearly $300 million to back U.S. President Donald Trump's presidential campaign and other Republicans last year, said he'll resume working '24/7' at his companies. "Back to spending 24/7 at work and sleeping in conference/server/factory rooms. I must be super focused on X/xAI and Tesla (plus Starship launch next week), as we have critical technologies rolling out," Musk had said in an X post. "As evidenced by the X uptime issues this week, major operational improvements need to be made," he added. Earlier in March, Musk had blamed a cyberattack after a similar outage at X. X did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment. (Reporting by Surbhi Misra in Bengaluru; Editing by Richard Chang and Nick Zieminski)
