Mixed Market Close as Investors Eye Potential U.S.–China Tariff Rollbacks
New York, USA: U.S. stocks ended Thursday mixed: the Dow gained 0.7% while the tech-centric Nasdaq dipped slightly (–0.2%). The S&P 500 rose for a fourth consecutive day on optimism that Washington and Beijing may further reduce or pause trade tariffs in coming talks. But tech giants dragged on the Nasdaq, reflecting ongoing sector rotation. Investors remain cautious about Federal Reserve signals and potential supply shocks. Overall, volume was near average, and markets remain sensitive to any new tariff developments.
