Wall Street ends down slightly; tariff uncertainty keeps investors on edge
Tue April 15, 2025 6:36 PM
It was another seesaw day with all the indexes up in the morning, the Dow up over 270 points, before starting a slow descent less than an hour in and reaching breakeven at 1 pm before closing down, the Dow off 155, the Nasdaq and S&P ending almost at a wash. This activity might best be explained by today’s expert, “Earnings have been pretty good, but this is a market that’s just beset by tariff and trade uncertainty and those are really the only catalysts that matter at this point.”
“On a day where you’re bereft of those catalysts, it’s kind of a wayward market, and we’re seeing that today.” More good Q1 news came from the banks today but analysts continue to keep a close eye on the so-called S&P “death cross.” For a change, volume came in today at 15 billion, below the 19 billion average, suggesting that investors are back to wait-and-see instead of panic selling.
