Tariffs are on for now thanks to appeals court in win for Trump
President Donald Trump's tariffs can continue for now, after an appeals court granted the administration' request to temporarily stay a lower court's order.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit said Thursday afternoon that it would temporarily pause the effects of a decision from the Court of International Trade, which ruled Wednesday that most of Trump's tariffs were illegal and must be halted.

How to Get Off the Investing Sidelines - Your Money Briefing
A turbulent spring in the stock market spooked some investors — and now, they're struggling to get back in . Host Julia Carpenter talks with WSJ's The Intelligent Investor columnist Jason Zweig about how these same folks can reshape their investing strategy with some much-needed historical perspective. Full Transcript This transcript was prepared by a transcription service. This version may not be in its final form and may be updated. Julia Carpenter: Here's Your Money Briefing for Friday, June 6th. I'm Julia Carpenter for The Wall Street Journal. What do you think the opposite of FOMO or the fear of missing out is? FOGI. The fear of getting in, and FOGI is all too common among investors these days. Jason Zweig: When people sense a high level of uncertainty in the market, it makes these kinds of decisions more complicated, because often, people are making these judgments partly based on what their peers are doing. And if all your peers are doing is expressing confusion and watching the headlines nonstop, it can be hard to figure out what to do. Julia Carpenter: After such an up and down few months in the stock market, spooked investors know they're probably playing it a little too safe, but what's the first step to jumping back in the fray? We'll talk with WSJ's The Intelligent Investor columnist, Jason Zweig, about how to conquer FOGI and maybe even how to use it to your advantage. That's after the break. Investors haven't had a quiet 2025. After the Trump Administration's tariff plan sent the market into a tailspin earlier this spring, some investors decided to pull out rather than play ball, and others had taken a step back even earlier. But now the market seas have calmed. So how do you get back in? Wall Street Journal's The Intelligent Investor columnist, Jason Zweig, joins me to talk more. Jason, one of your readers, Michael McCowin, wrote to you and coined this new term: FOGI. Or fear of getting in. How did he arrive at this FOGI place? Jason Zweig: Well, he would say a couple of things. First of all, he got old, and he became a FOGI, an old FOGI. And secondly, he has pretty strong views. He's fortunate. He's a former professional investor. He has plenty of assets to see him through. He's 86, and he feels that the potential upside from staying in the market at this point is not as great as the potential downside of staying in and perhaps losing a lot of his money without time to recover. Julia Carpenter: And after such a turbulent period in markets, you talk to some investors who say they think they should be more fully invested, but they still are in that place that Michael is in, that sort of FOGI place. Why do you think so many investors feel this way? Jason Zweig: Uncertainty is always high except at total market turning points, like say, 2020 or in 1987. And when people sense a high level of uncertainty in the market, it makes these kinds of decisions more complicated, because often, people are making these judgments partly based on what their peers are doing. And if all your peers are doing is expressing confusion and watching the headlines non-stop, it can be hard to figure out what to do. Julia Carpenter: FOGI is contagious. Jason Zweig: Yeah, it absolutely is. Julia Carpenter: And your column, which is linked in our show notes, does such a great job of giving us some much-needed historical perspective. How do the last few market cycles fit into the big picture of the last 80 years in markets? Jason Zweig: The key thing to put in perspective as an investor is that, the long run, tells us unambiguously that you should be rewarded for sticking with U.S. stocks if you can stick with them long enough. We've had over 60 instances of stocks losing 5% or more. We've had a couple dozen corrections where they went down 10 or 20%. And, just in the past few years, we've had two severe bear markets where stocks lost 20% or more. And, over time, the markets have always overcome that and delivered ample returns for people who could stick with it. However, it's not a guarantee. And, ultimately, if you try to force yourself to be the kind of investor you're not, you might end up worse off. People who really feel they need to sleep well at night should listen to that intuition, because if you compel yourself against your own gut to stick with the market during times that look tough, when times that actually feel tough come along, you may get shaken out. So, having a little bit higher allocation to cash or bonds might not be a bad thing for someone who is inclined to get spooked out of the market. Julia Carpenter: I wanted to ask you about a hindsight bias. What is it, and how should we be thinking about it as investors? Jason Zweig: Hindsight bias is a fallacy of human reasoning. It essentially trains us to think, after the fact, that what did happen is what we predicted would happen. And just think about presidential elections, for example. People say things like, "Oh, I knew all along it would be a landslide," or, "I knew all along it would be close." But if you go back and look at what they actually were saying before the election, they weren't saying that. And the advantage of what's just happened, particularly in April and the rebound in May, is that it's so fresh in all of our minds, that it's kind of hard to lie to ourselves. And it gives us a great opportunity to look back and say, "What was I actually saying and thinking? Oh, I was actually saying and thinking this was almost the end of the world, and it's turned out not to be, at least so far. So maybe the lesson I should learn is not to be so certain about my forecasts." Julia Carpenter: So thinking about investors like Michael, what would you tell them to consider as they weigh their options and try to conquer this fear of getting in? Jason Zweig: I like to say, if you must panic, panic slowly, panic gradually. Maybe take one percentage point of your allocation to stocks and reduce that each month. And, within a retirement account, where you don't have immediate tax consequences, you can do that quite easily. And making gradual change, first of all, will make you feel better, because you'll feel you're responding to the thing you're afraid of. But more importantly, it prevents you from overreacting to a fear you feel that ultimately doesn't turn out to be actual. Julia Carpenter: And just to emphasize to those who are still sort of spooked, Jason, managing investments is just one part of an overall financial plan, but it's an important one nonetheless. I wonder what would you say to someone about using the market to build wealth and this sense of security? Jason Zweig: So, the thing to keep in mind is that, while there are no guarantees, and it is not actually true that if you hold stocks long enough you're guaranteed to outperform all other assets, it's a bet about probabilities. It's highly likely that you will do extremely well if you hold stocks for the long term. And the fact that the probability isn't a hundred percent, I don't think should really discourage you from doing it. Just as it can rain on a day when the forecast is 100% sunshine, stocks can disappoint people who hold them for decades at a time, but in the long run, it is a very high probability bet. And putting most of your money in stocks, particularly when you're young and your labor income gives you a hedge against fluctuations in the value of your stock portfolio, is a good idea. It's the best bet for long-term investing, even if it's not quite a certain bet. Julia Carpenter: That's Jason Zweig, columnist for WSJ's: The Intelligent Investor. And that's it for Your Money Briefing. Tomorrow we'll have our weekly markets wrap up, What's News and markets, and then we'll be back on Monday. This episode was produced by Ariana Aspuru.

Court denies Apple's request to pause ruling on App Store payment fees
A U.S. court denied Apple a stay on a ruling that requires the company to stop charging developers for payments made outside the App Store through links in apps. This means in the U.S., Apple will no longer be able to charge developers a fee when customers click on a link within their app that takes them outside the App Store for payment, resulting in a potential loss of revenue to the company. 'Apple 'bears the burden of showing that the circumstances justify an exercise of [our] discretion,'' the court said in a filing. 'After reviewing the relevant factors, we are not persuaded that a stay is appropriate,' it added. Epic Games' head Tim Sweeney applauded the court's ruling and said, 'The long national nightmare of Apple tax is ended,' in a post on X. Apple's stay is denied by the 9th Circuit Court. The long national nightmare of the Apple tax is ended. May next week's WWDC be the Apple-led celebration of freedom that developers and users have long deserved. — Tim Sweeney (@TimSweeneyEpic) June 4, 2025 In April, Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers ruled in favor of Epic Games, saying that Apple was in 'willful violation' of a 2021 injunction that barred the company from forcing anticompetitive pricing. This essentially means that Apple must change the App Store rules and allow developers to freely link to their website for purchasing digital goods. In response, Apple filed an emergency motion last month seeking a stay on the court's ruling. The company also filed an appeal against the ruling around the same time. Last year, Apple began allowing other apps to link out and use non-Apple payment mechanisms, but it still took a 27% fee and added what critics called 'scare screens.' With the new ruling, both practices will be eliminated. Large companies are already making changes to their apps, with Spotify and Amazon publishing new updates that let users pay for their subscriptions and purchases outside the App Store.

Boston, MA | REGISTER NOW With the Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC) slotted for next week, this is a big blow to Apple. Earlier this week, the company published a report saying that it generated $1.3 trillion in billings and sales in 2024. It added 90% of those sales didn't generate commission revenue for Apple.
