📰 Market Headlines

Stocks stumbled last week as Treasury yields surged and President Trump revived tariff threats.

• The Nasdaq and Dow each fell 2.4% while the S&P 500 slid about 2.6%.
  

• Trump is extending the EU’s tariff deadline after threatening a 50% rate.

Markets may be closed for memorial day, but it’s going to be a huge week nonetheless. Here are the key economic reports and metrics coming out over the next four days.

• Tuesday: Consumer confidence reading and May’s durable goods manufacturers’ report

• Wednesday: FOMC minutes

• Thursday: First revision of the US’s Q1 GDP, unemployment claims, home sales

• Friday: The PCE (personal consumption expenditures) price index, a major measure of inflation

Importers are legally gaming the tariff system. The “first sale rule” allows importers to calculate final tariff dues using the initial factory price (lower) rather than the vendors’ price (higher). The decades-old law is gaining renewed traction under Trump’s latest tariff push, especially among luxury and high-margin goods makers like Moncler, Traeger, and Kuros Biosciences.

Trump approved the purchase of US Steel by Nippon Steel last Friday, and US Steel shares skyrocketed 20% in response. The acquisition had been blocked by the previous administration due to supply chain risks. It’s estimated that the merger will bring $14 billion to the US’s economy.
