Wall Street ends higher as investors track US-China trade talks
STORY: U.S. stocks ended higher on Tuesday as investors bet on positive results out of trade talks between the U.S. and China. The Dow rose a quarter of one percent, the S&P 500 added half a percent and the Nasdaq climbed about six tenths of one percent. The trade talks in London are aimed at defusing a tariff dispute that has roiled global markets this year. U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said earlier on Tuesday that the trade talks were going well and could run into Wednesday. Later, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told reporters the talks would continue as needed. BESSENT: "We have had two days of productive talks. They are ongoing. My colleagues, Secretary Lunick and Ambassador Greer, are going to be continuing as needed with the Chinese delegation." With investors betting the U.S. will reach trade agreements that reduce Trump's steep trade barriers, the S&P 500 is now trading just below its February record highs. Michael Landsberg, chief investment officer with Landsberg Bennett Private Wealth Management, says companies continue to perform well despite the tariff concerns. 'The markets had good earnings. You know, we've had basically the S&P 500 last quarter was up 12% year over year, Nasdaq up 23%. I think people realize that you know a lot of the 'death of the market' has been greatly exaggerated. [FLASH] 'I think the tariff talk has basically sucked the air out of every room you go into. It's all everybody talks about. I think people missed a lot of the fundamentals that we had in the quarter, which is basically again stronger earnings. You know, double digits, you know, and all the major indices- even the Russell 2000, which we don't like, had double digit earnings growth year over year.' Stocks on the move Tuesday included J.M. Smucker, which plunged 15 and a half percent after the Jif peanut butter maker forecast annual profit below estimates. And shares of Snap bounced between gains and losses 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 tech market. On Wednesday, investors will weigh consumer price data from the Labor Department, which could show the impact of U.S. tariffs on goods prices and could influence the path the Federal Reserve takes on interest rates.

Prime Success Sends Letter to Sinovac Biotech Shareholders

(NASDAQ: SVA) ("Sinovac" or the "Company") with ownership of approximately 8% of the Company's outstanding shares, today issued a letter to shareholders in connection with the upcoming Special Meeting of Shareholders (the "Special Meeting") scheduled for July 8, 2025. The full text of the letter can be viewed here and by visiting In its letter, Prime Success outlines the need for change on Sinovac's Board of Directors (the "Board") and presents key reasons to support the election of SAIF Partners IV L.P.'s ("SAIF") nominees, who are committed to taking the following value-enhancing actions: Oversee a fair, equitable, and timely distribution of cash dividends, including fully supporting the payment of the announced dividend of approximately $55 per share to all shareholders, but also actively advocating for the distribution of future dividends from the subsidiaries. Prime Success wants to ensure that the value accumulated in the Company under the management team's leadership over the years is rightfully returned to all shareholders in a timely manner.
