NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stocks are drifting Tuesday following President Donald Trump’s latest tariff escalation and after the head of the Federal Reserve hinted interest rates aren’t likely to change for a while.
The S&P 500 was virtually unchanged in the market’s first trading since Trump announced 25% tariffs on all foreign steel and aluminum coming into the country. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was edging up by 42 points, or 0.1%, as of 11:15 a.m. Eastern time, and the Nasdaq composite was 0.1% lower.
