A Delay in EU Tariffs Boosted Investor Confidence |

On Monday, the EU agreed to accelerate tariff negotiations with the United States, helping to ease fears of a trans-Atlantic trade war. The decision came after former President Trump announced on Sunday that the U.S. would postpone a planned increase to a 50% tariff on all EU goods—from June 1 to July 9—to allow more time for talks. “I received a call today from Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, requesting an extension on the June 1st deadline on the 50% Tariff with respect to Trade and the European Union,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “I agreed to the extension — July 9, 2025 — It was my privilege to do so,” Trump added. Ursula Von der Leyen, president of the European Commission, said that she needed until July 9 to “reach a good deal.” “The EU and US share the world’s most consequential and close trade relationship,” she wrote on X. “Europe is ready to advance talks swiftly and decisively,” she continued. |
U.S. Consumer Confidence Rebounds in May After Five-Month Decline |

U.S. consumer confidence saw a sharp rebound in May, breaking a five-month downward trend, as optimism improved following a temporary pause in escalating tariffs between the U.S. and China. While concerns about higher prices and potential economic fallout from tariffs persist, the easing of trade tensions lifted overall sentiment. According to data released Tuesday by the Conference Board, the consumer confidence index rose by 12.3 points to 98—well above the 87 reading forecast by economists surveyed by Reuters. About half of the survey responses were collected after May 12, when the Trump administration and China agreed to a 90-day tariff reduction. Under the deal, U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports dropped from 145% to 30%, while China reduced its tariffs from 125% to 20%. “The rebound was already underway before the May 12 U.S.-China trade deal but gained momentum afterward,” said Stephanie Guichard, senior economist for global indicators at the Conference Board. “The improvement was largely driven by consumer expectations, with all three components of the Expectations Index—business conditions, employment prospects, and future income—rising from their April lows.” "Consumers were less pessimistic about business conditions and job availability over the next six months and regained optimism about future income prospects. Consumers' assessments of the present situation also improved," Guichard said. However, she added that "while consumers were more positive about current business conditions than last month, their appraisal of current job availability weakened for the fifth consecutive month." |

Nvidia (NVDA) shares jumped following reports of a more affordable chip designed for the Chinese market.

Tesla’s stock rose as CEO Elon Musk has shifted his focus back to the company. Tesla (TSLA) shares climbed about 6% in Tuesday afternoon trading after Musk pledged to dedicate more time to the electric vehicle maker and his other ventures. The stock, one of the top trending tickers on Yahoo Finance, also benefited from renewed investor optimism after former President Trump postponed a planned 50% tariff on the European Union, easing concerns of a trade clash. “Back to spending 24/7 at work and sleeping in conference/server/factory rooms,” Musk posted following an outage on X. He emphasized the need to stay “super focused” on Tesla, 𝕏/xAI, and next week’s planned Starship launch, calling the period critical for new technology rollouts. Despite the upbeat market reaction, Tesla faces mounting challenges in Europe. EV registrations—used as a proxy for sales—fell 49% year-over-year in April, down to 14,228 units. That’s in stark contrast to the broader European EV market, which grew 34.1% in the same month, even as total vehicle registrations across the region slipped 0.3%. |
