Stocks trimmed gains, led by global chip makers, to see the U.S. stock market opened on Wednesday, April 16. Although the likes of Nvidia were slightly up as investors reacted to news China had indicated its readiness to engage the United States amid ongoing tariffs war, earlier losses impacted greater sentiment and contributed to the major indices opening lower. Nvidia (NVDA), Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), Micron Technology (MU), and ASML Holding (ASML) all fell sharply in premarket trading. The stocks flipped green ahead of Wall Street’s open, but the cautious sentiment lingered after the bell as Washington’s ramped-up tariffs on China imposed further jitters. In particular, the latest move to curb exports of an artificial intelligence chip Nvidia makes for the Chinese market contributed to the earlier rout, with global chip makers AMD and ASML also feeling the pressure. Nvidia’s warning regarding a $5.5 billion quarterly charge amid the AI chip curbs saw NVDA stock dip 6%. AMD, ASML, and other chip stocks also recorded notable losses. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq dropped by 1.2% and 2.1%, respectively, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average opened about 0.6% lower. Optimism remains tempered but investors appear to be seeing an imminent thaw in the China vs. U.S. tariffs arena. Despite President Donald Trump’s administration noting China faced up to 245% in tariffs amid the recent standoff and retaliatory moves, Beijing has signalled it may be willing to come to the table. However, China says this readiness for trade talks comes with demands of “respect” from U.S. counterparts. While this course of events might see a slight uptick in investor sentiment, stocks are largely unmoved . Crypto also notched a slight dip as the S&P 500, Nasdaq Composite and DJIA all opened lower on Wednesday. Meanwhile, retail sales rose 1.4% in March, aligning with consensus estimates. With recent positive inflation readings doing little to lift markets, the focus remains on what this means for the overall U.S. economic outlook before the reciprocal tariffs kicked in on “Liberation Day.”

The three major U.S. stock indexes opened sharply lower, and gold stocks rose across the board At the opening of the US stock market, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.47%, the S&P 500 fell 1.17%, and the Nasdaq fell 1.89%. Gold stocks generally rose, with Harmony Gold (HMY.N) rising more than 7%, Gold Fields (GFI.N) rising nearly 7%, Anglogold rising 6%, and Colden Mining (CDE.N) rising more than 3%. AMD (AMD.O) fell more than 7%. (Jinshi)

Markets edged lower Tuesday as investors weighed first-quarter earnings, trade developments, and a dip in Bitcoin, which fell below $84,000. The Dow Jones Industrial Average shed 155 points, or 0.38%, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq both declined by roughly 0.1%. Bank stocks offered some relief. Bank of America and Citigroup rose over 4% and 2% respectively, after beating earnings expectations. The broader SPDR S&P Bank ETF climbed nearly 2%. Still, the optimism was offset by weakness in other sectors and global uncertainty. Boeing dropped nearly 2% following a Bloomberg report that Chinese regulators told airlines to halt new purchases of its planes. The move pulls Boeing deeper into the ongoing U.S.-China trade dispute. Luxury stocks in Europe also fell, led by LVMH, which reported lower sales amid declining Chinese demand. Meanwhile, global carmakers like Toyota and Hyundai tracked modest gains following Monday’s U.S. auto rally, according to CNBC reporting . Bitcoin ( BTC ) is currently trading at $83,950. The rest of the crypto market dropped with many major currencies dropping 1-4%, according to crypto.news data . President Trump reignited trade tensions, saying Tuesday that China must return to the negotiating table to reduce tariffs, as the U.S. consumer is “too important” to lose. While some electronics, like smartphones and semiconductors, were temporarily exempted from reciprocal tariffs, the White House signaled that exemptions could be short-lived. Despite gains earlier this week, all three major U.S. indexes remain down from early April. The S&P 500 has dropped more than 4% since Trump’s April 2 tariff announcement, with the Dow and Nasdaq trailing by more than 3% each. Wall Street’s “fear gauge,” the VIX, eased below 30 after hitting 60 last week, reflecting a calmer—if still uncertain—market environment.

The three major U.S. stock indexes rose at the opening, and Strategy rose 1.38% When the U.S. stock market opened, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.11%, the S&P 500 rose 0.15%, the Nasdaq rose 0.1%, Strategy rose 1.38%, and Coinbase rose 0.97%.

U.S. stocks opened higher to start the week on a positive note, with Wall Street’s reaction to the latest tariff news pushing tech stocks upward. Apple (AAPL), Nvidia (NVDA) and Dell (DELL) all rose Monday morning. On Saturday, President Donald Trump’s administration revealed the exclusion of consumer electronics, including smartphones, and computers from the announced tariffs. With investors in mega cap tech companies celebrating the move, the shares of several firms in the segment rose. Other than AAPL, NVDA and DELL, there were also early gains for Tesla and Intel. As investors braced for a busy week of earnings and potential developments in the tariff landscape, the S&P 500 opened with a 1.7% gain. The Dow Jones Industrial Average also opened higher, rising more than 460 points. Meanwhile, the tech-heavy Nasdaq, which initially dipped following the 145% and 125% tariffs imposed by the U.S. and China respectively, edged up 2.3% as markets opened on April 14. Despite the upbeat open, investors took note of comments from U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, who stated on Sunday that while electronics had been removed from the earlier tariff rates, they are still expected to fall under separate duties. Wall Street’s positive open aligns with experts’ commentary at the end of last week, many noting the sell-off that followed Trump’s tariffs on China could have marked a bottom for equities . Mark Newton, the managing director and global head of technical strategy at Fundstrat Global Advisors, shared this sentiment in an interview with CNBC. While the reprieve for major tech stocks has AAPL and other shares trading higher, last week’s performance for gold has had a slight slowdown. The precious metal remained near its all-time highs but was down nearly 1%. The safe-haven assets will continue to attract investors amid market turbulence, but with tech stocks edging higher, its likely risk assets like Bitcoin ( BTC ) will mirror trajectory. Analysts at Bitfinex say BTC could outpace stocks amid market recovery. However, the market is aware of Trump’s comments via Truth Social that the exclusion for tech stocks isn’t permanent. Alongside tariff-related developments, attention will also turn to earnings this week. After strong reports from several major banks last week, upcoming results from Goldman Sachs (GS), Bank of America (BAC), and Citi (C) will be closely watched.
