Stocks lower but set for strong monthly gain despite tariff uncertainty
NEW YORK :Global stocks were down on Friday but were set to notch a weekly gain as well as the biggest monthly increase since late 2023 despite markets having been roiled by uncertainty over the Trump administration's tariff policies. Sentiments were initially buoyed at the start of the week by signs of an easing of trade tensions between the U.S. and Europe, after President Donald Trump delayed planned tariffs on imports from the EU. Investor focus then shifted to earnings of artificial intelligence chipmaker Nvidia, which later reported better-than-expected results mid-week. But markets were briefly shaken following an unexpected ruling by the U.S. Court of International Trade striking down Trump's so-called Liberation Day tariffs, triggering a court drama that saw an appellate court temporarily reinstate them. "It's been quite a week," said Mark Malek, chief investment officer at SiebertNXT. "Within four days we got a compressed version of what we've had for the entire month, which is the tug of war between forces that drove markets higher last year and the prior year - that being AI and technology growth stocks - and then this looming challenge we have with all these administration tariffs." On Wall Street, all three main indexes were trading lower on the session, dragged by weaknesses in technology, energy and materials stocks. They were, however, set to end the week and the month higher, with the benchmark S&P 500 index poised to snap three straight months of declines. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.14 per cent to 42,155.39, the S&P 500 eased 0.33 per cent to 5,892.70 and the Nasdaq Composite shed 0.57 per cent to 19,065.61. European shares were mostly higher and set for a weekly gain and to add 4 per cent for the month of May. MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan closed up 0.72 per cent overnight, ending the week lower but gaining nearly 5 per cent for the month. MSCI's main world index was down 0.24 per cent to 878.15, but was on track to gain more than 1 per cent for the week and more than 5 per cent in May - making it the biggest monthly gain since November 2023. Data showed on Friday that U.S. consumers had increased their spending marginally in April, and the closely-watched Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index rose 0.1 per cent last month, in line with expectations. Trump and Fed Chair Jerome Powell had their first face-to-face meeting on Thursday. Afterwards a Fed statement said: "Powell did not discuss his expectations for monetary policy except to stress that the path of policy will depend entirely on incoming economic information and what that means for the outlook." The yield on benchmark U.S. 10-year notes fell 1.2 basis points to 4.412 per cent. The 30-year bond yield fell 0.3 basis points to 4.9203 per cent. The dollar was higher against major peers including the euro and on track for a monthly gain against the Japanese yen. The dollar weakened 0.01 per cent to 144.18 against the yen, while the euro was down 0.19 per cent at $1.1349. The dollar index, which measures the greenback against a basket of currencies including the yen and the euro, rose 0.18 per cent to 99.44. It was on track for the fifth straight month of losses, weighed down by tariff uncertainty. Oil prices fell and were headed for a second consecutive weekly loss, as investors weigh a potentially larger OPEC+ output hike for July. Brent crude futures fell 0.44 per cent to $63.87 a barrel. U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude fell 1.1 per cent to $60.27 a barrel. Gold prices slipped as the dollar edged higher. Spot gold fell 0.78 per cent to $3,289.91 an ounce. U.S. gold futures slipped 0.93 per cent to $3,286.40 an ounce.

US: Stocks rise as market weighs tariff ruling
[NEW YORK] Wall Street stocks finished modestly higher on Thursday following strong earnings from Nvidia as a judicial ruling added to uncertainty about President Donald Trump's tariffs. Nvidia jumped 3.3 per cent after reporting a mammoth US$18.8 billion in quarterly profits, even with a multi-billion dollar hit from US export controls. Meanwhile, Trump's trade policies faced a new challenge when the US Court of International Trade blocked most of the duties the White House has announced. An appeals court later issued a temporary suspension on the ruling while the litigation proceeds. The Dow Jones Industrial Average finished up 0.3 per cent at 42,215.73. The broad-based S&P 500 climbed 0.4 per cent to 5,912.17, while the tech-rich Nasdaq Composite Index jumped 0.4 per cent to 19,175.87. BT in your inbox Start and end each day with the latest news stories and analyses delivered straight to your inbox. Sign Up Sign Up The market's subdued advance on Thursday reflects concerns that the latest judicial actions could prolong uncertainty about trade, said Art Hogan of B. Riley Wealth Management. The ruling may lead some countries negotiating with Trump to shift course if Trump is perceived as losing leverage in the talks. 'It just stretches out the trade war drama,' said Hogan. Among individual companies, Boeing climbed 3.3 per cent after the company's CEO said he was hopeful the company could be cleared by US regulators to significantly boost production of the 737 MAX, leading to higher revenues. But Best Buy slumped 7.3 per cent after the electronics retailer cut its full-year forecast due to the tariffs. AFP

Dell raises annual profit forecast on strong AI server demand
Dell raised its annual profit forecast on Thursday, signaling growing demand for its AI-powered servers that are equipped with Nvidia's powerful chips. Shares of the company, whose servers are used by customers such as Elon Musk's AI startup xAI and CoreWeave, rose 2 per cent in extended trading. Dell and Super Micro Computer have benefited from growing demand for such servers, but the high cost of producing them and tough competition have pressured margins. "We generated $12.1 billion in AI orders this quarter alone, surpassing the entirety of shipments in all of fiscal 2025 and leaving us with $14.4 billion in backlog," Dell's Chief Operating Officer Jeff Clarke said. The results follow the U.S. Department of Energy's announcement on Thursday that it would launch a new supercomputer, named Doudna, which will use Dell and Nvidia's advanced technology to perform complex computing tasks. Dell now expects annual adjusted profit to be $9.40 per share, compared with its prior forecast of $9.30 per share. The company also reiterated its annual revenue outlook. It forecast second-quarter revenue to be between $28.5 billion and $29.5 billion, above analysts' average estimate of $25.05 billion, according to data compiled by LSEG. Dell's adjusted profit forecast for the second quarter of $2.25 per share was also above estimates of $2.09. The company's first-quarter revenue of $23.38 billion beat expectations of $23.14 billion, while its adjusted profit of $1.55 per share missed estimates of $1.69. "We note potential near-term margin pressure from competitive pricing, tariffs, and geographic mix shifts," Shreya Gheewala, equity analyst at CFRA Research, said. Revenue from Dell's infrastructure solutions group, which includes storage, software and server offerings, rose 12 per cent, while revenue from its client solutions group, that houses its PC business, rose 5 per cent.
