S&P 500 ends lower as investors digest Trump's auto tariffs

On this second day, the shock of the automobile tariffs coming April 3rd and auto parts coming May 3rd continues to rattle automakers with both GM and Ford down another 7% and 3.9% respectively after yesterday’s big hit. Auto parts makers also took a 5% hit. As today’s expert put it, “Investors are really cautious and wary of Trump and his policies. Even more than the policies, just the constant flip-flopping, making people really nervous about making long-term investments.”  

The one bit of good news is that Q4 GDP, though still lower than Q3, was revised upwards today from 2.3% to 2.4%. The big one, PCE, the one everyone’s been waiting for, comes Friday. The S&P is down 3% for the year, the Nasdaq 8%. At 14.7 billion, volume remains below the average of 16.3 billion.
