Wall Street slips as oil falls, Dow drops 100+ points, S&P 500 nears end of 9-day winning streak
Pic credit - AP US stock futures pointed toward losses as Wall Street opened on Monday, with major indices retreating amid a decline in oil prices and a rally in gold. The broader market faced pressure as traders reacted to shifting dynamics in global commodities, geopolitical tensions, and concerns over economic growth. At 9:33 am GMT-4, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) was down by 171.37 points, or 0.41%, trading at 41,146.06. The Nasdaq dropped 141.64 points, or 0.79%, to 17,836.09, while the S&P 500 decreased 43.6 points, or 0.77%, reaching 5,643.07. On the commodities front, gold saw a significant rise, climbing 83.3 points or 2.57%, to reach 3,326.6. The precious metal's rally comes as investors flock to safer assets amid mounting market volatility. In contrast, oil prices saw further declines, with US crude falling 0.89 points, or 1.53%, to 57.4, following an announcement from OPEC+ that it plans to boost output by 411,000 barrels per day starting June 1. Meanwhile, the US 10-year Treasury yield edged higher by 0.006 to 4.326, reflecting slight upward pressure in the bond market, while the Euro gained 0.006 against the US dollar, rising to 1.136, a 0.54% increase.

Earlier, Futures for the S&P 500 slid 0.9%, Dow Jones Industrial Average futures lost 0.7%, and Nasdaq futures fell 1.1%. Berkshire Hathaway shares dropped by 3% after the surprise announcement over the weekend that CEO Warren Buffett would step down from the top role by the end of the year. The board of directors at the cash-rich conglomerate voted on Sunday to retain the 94-year-old Buffett as chairman, a decision likely to reassure investors concerned about Berkshire's remarkable winning streak under his leadership of over six decades. US benchmark crude oil saw a sharp decline of 4% overnight but recovered somewhat by early morning, falling 94 cents to $57.35 per barrel. Brent crude, the international standard, dropped 83 cents to $60.46 per barrel. The OPEC+ group of eight oil-producing nations announced on the weekend that it would raise its output by 411,000 barrels per day starting June 1. The decision was attributed to strong fundamentals, though analysts speculated that it could also be aimed at aligning with US President Donald Trump's desires for lower oil prices, particularly ahead of his visit to the Middle East later this month. Oil prices have fallen nearly 20% in the past three months as traders have factored in the potential impact of Trump's trade policies on the global economy. Trump has made delivering lower gas prices a central talking point of his administration. 'Washington wants cheap energy, and Gulf producers still lean on US security guarantees; the White House bears down, they listen,' said Stephen Innes of SPI Asset Management. 'In that sense, the US president has become an unofficial swing vote inside OPEC+,' he added. US crude oil is down about 17% for the year, hitting lows not seen since the US was recovering from the brief but sharp COVID-19 recession in early 2021. According to AAA, the average price of gasoline is $3.17 per gallon, down from $3.66 per gallon a year ago. However, prices are falling to a point where many producers are struggling to turn a profit. Late Sunday, President Trump announced on social media that he would impose a 100% tariff on all movies entering the US that are produced overseas. While it is common for both large and small films to involve production in the US and other countries, the specifics of how these tariffs would be implemented remain unclear. Shares of The Walt Disney Co. and Warner Bros. Discovery each fell more than 2% after hours. Netflix dropped 4.5% before the bell. The US economy has already shown signs of strain due to Trump's tariff policies, shrinking at a 0.3% annual rate during the first quarter of the year. This slowdown was attributed to a surge in imports as businesses tried to anticipate the impact of Trump's tariffs. Many companies have been revising or withdrawing financial forecasts due to uncertainty over the costs of tariffs and their potential to depress consumer spending. Markets were closed in Britain and much of Asia on Monday. Germany's DAX rose 0.7%, while the CAC 40 in Paris slipped 0.6%. Australia's S&P/ASX 200 lost 1% to 8,157.80, and Taiwan's Taiex declined by 1.2%. The US dollar weakened to 143.83 Japanese yen from 144.71 yen. The euro climbed to $1.1344 from $1.1306. On Friday, Wall Street extended its gains to a ninth consecutive day, marking its longest winning streak since 2004. The market has reclaimed much of the ground lost following President Trump's escalation of the trade war in early April. Heading into Monday's open, the S&P 500 is still down 3.3% year-to-date and remains 7.4% below its record high from February.

Apple shares slide as tariff woes prompt cut in buyback program
Apple shares dropped 5% on Friday after the company reduced its stock buyback program by $10 billion and CEO Tim Cook revealed a $900 million hit to costs this quarter due to escalating US-China trade tensions . According to Reuters, the move comes amid growing uncertainty fuelled by US President Donald Trump's tariff policies , which have disrupted corporate planning even for giants like Apple and Microsoft. As of 10:25 am GMT-4, Apple shares were trading at $206.69, down $6.63 or 3.11% . The iPhone maker reported quarterly revenue of $95.36 billion and earnings of $1.65 per share, narrowly beating expectations. However, it offered a cautious outlook, forecasting low-to-mid single-digit revenue growth. Apple's reduced buyback authorization—$100 billion this year compared to $110 billion last year—marked an unusual step back in its capital return strategy, which typically sees stable or rising repurchases. Analysts saw this as a sign of Apple's intent to preserve cash in an unpredictable environment. Cook noted that most Apple devices sold in the US this quarter would be manufactured outside China, with the company accelerating its supply chain diversification efforts. iPhone assembly is increasingly shifting to India, while chip sourcing from the US is expanding. Apple is also investing in manufacturing hubs across Texas, Arizona, and Oregon. Despite a slight beat on revenue expectations in China with $16 billion, Apple faces intensifying competition from Huawei and slower-than-expected AI adoption. If Friday's losses hold, Apple stands to lose more than $150 billion in market value, allowing Microsoft to reclaim its position as the world's most valuable company. Analysts have warned that US tariffs on China could eventually force Apple to raise iPhone prices, although a last-minute exemption for consumer electronics has offered temporary relief. Cook admitted the company's historical reliance on Chinese manufacturing had become a liability, prompting the broader strategic shift.

US Markets Today: S&P 500, Dow Jones reflect investor caution as US -China trade deal hopes stay murky
US markets opened on a mixed note Thursday morning as investors closely monitored ongoing signals about global trade negotiations, particularly between the United States and China. Lingering uncertainty around tariff talks, paired with cautious sentiment from key officials, continued to shape investor behaviour across asset classes. As of 9:42 AM GMT-4, US stock markets showed a mixed performance with investors closely monitoring the status of trade talks between the United States and China. The S&P 500 was up 15.05 points, or 0.28%, at 5,390.91, reflecting cautious optimism in the broader market. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 100.3 points, or 0.25%, to 39,506.27 as of the same time, dragged lower by weakness in industrial and financial stocks, which are more exposed to global trade tensions. In contrast, the Nasdaq rose 107.29 points, or 0.64%, to 16,815.34, lifted by gains in large-cap tech names. Gold climbed $41.10, or 1.25%, to $3,335.20, while oil prices also advanced, with West Texas Intermediate crude up $0.58, or 0.93%, at $62.85 per barrel. The yield on the 10-year US Treasury note dropped 5.1 basis points to 4.336%, reflecting a shift toward safer assets. In currency markets, the euro traded at $1.137, up 0.006 or 0.522% against the US dollar as of the latest reading. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Co-Founder of Google Brain, Andrew Ng, Is Reported To Have Read Every... Blinkist: Andrew Ng's Reading List Undo The VIX, Wall Street's fear gauge, declined 0.92 points, or 3.23%, to 27.53. Meanwhile, Stock markets mostly fell on Thursday after China dismissed US President Donald Trump 's upbeat comments about progress in trade negotiations, casting doubt on the prospects of a deal to end the ongoing US-China trade war. Markets had rallied the previous day when Trump suggested that tariffs on Chinese goods could be significantly reduced and that a "fair deal" with Beijing was within reach. However, China on Thursday stated that claims of active trade talks with Washington were "groundless," dampening investor optimism. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent added to the uncertainty, saying that the two countries were "not yet" discussing the lowering of tariffs. "The investing world went back to clinging to every word from the White House, but with such a confusing and often contradictory stance on tariffs, volatility was all that could really be expected," said Matt Britzman, senior equity analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown. European stock markets fell as investors also focused on a series of corporate earnings reports for clues about how tariffs might affect business outlooks moving forward. "Comments about tariffs from business leaders were everywhere, and investors were eager to see how companies planned to manage potential cost pressures," said Russ Mould, investment director at AJ Bell. Amid the uncertainty, the US dollar weakened, as investors turned to traditional safe-haven assets like the Swiss franc, the yen, and gold. In Asia, Tokyo's Nikkei 225 closed 0.5 percent higher, while Shanghai ended the day flat and Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index dropped nearly one percent. Bessent also addressed US-Japan trade talks, stating that there were 'absolutely no currency targets,' despite Trump's previous remarks expressing a desire for a stronger yen. Seoul's stock market declined after South Korea's economy unexpectedly contracted by 0.1 percent in the first quarter of 2025. On Wall Street, the S&P 500 had closed 1.7 percent higher on Wednesday, reflecting previous optimism. In corporate news, Japanese automaker Nissan issued a stark profit warning, adding to investor concerns. Conversely, Nintendo shares surged as much as 5.5 percent following stronger-than-expected pre-order demand in Japan for its upcoming Switch 2 console. French software company Dassault Systèmes saw its shares drop around seven percent in Paris after reporting a decline in net profit and revising its 2025 operating margin forecast downward. Luxury group Kering fell roughly four percent in Paris as its Gucci brand continued to experience a sales slump. Carmaker Renault, also based in Paris, rose around two percent after announcing further cost-cutting plans in response to US tariffs and reporting a slight increase in sales volumes. In Frankfurt, German sportswear maker Adidas jumped about three percent as its first-quarter profit nearly doubled, surpassing market expectations.
