š Tariffs, Tension & a Tired Market
The Streak Is Dead. Blame Trump, the Fed, and Probably Hollywood Too.
Wall Street kicked off the week like a hungover intern ā stumbling out of bed, ignoring the calendar, and pretending Fridayās good vibes never existed.
The S&P 500 snapped a 9-day win streak. The Dow tripped on its own shoelaces. And the Nasdaq? Letās just say tech didn't dodge this tariff tantrum.
š§Ø Tariffs Crash the Party (Again)
š¹ Trump decided Sunday was a great time to start a trade war sequel ā this time targeting foreign movies with a 100% tariff. Hollywood execs are now officially spiraling.
š¹ Oh, and he also said heās not talking to China this week. That optimism about trade talks? Yeah, never mind.
š Why It Matters:
Trade optimism had powered recent gains. This just popped the balloon š
Movie stocks (š $NFLX, $DIS, $WBD) took a hit ā and they werenāt the only ones.
š Market Snapshot:
S&P 500: -0.64% š» (Streak snapped after 9 green days)
Dow Jones: -0.24% š (First red day in 10)
Nasdaq: -0.74% ā ļø (Tech traders suddenly remembering tariffs exist)
Dollar Index: -0.27% šµ (Risk-off mode activated)
Oil: -2% š¢ļø (OPEC says āmore supplyā; market says ācool, weāre not driving anywayā)
