U.S. stock markets reached new heights once again, as the latest remarks from Donald Trump regarding tariffs generated minimal impact on trading activities.

The S&P 500 index climbed by 0.6%, achieving yet another record high. Likewise, the Dow Jones Industrial Average increased by 0.3%, marking a new peak set just the day prior, while the Nasdaq composite also rose by 0.6%, propelled by strong performances from major technology firms.

International markets, however, experienced mostly slight declines following Trump’s announcement that he intends to implement extensive tariffs on Mexico, Canada, and China immediately upon taking office. U.S. automotive manufacturers and various other sectors that may face negative repercussions from these tariffs saw their stock prices drop.
