World shares are mixed as strong corporate earnings are offset by tariff worries

On April 30, 2025, world shares showed mixed results as strong corporate earnings were balanced by concerns over President Trump's trade war and tariff policies.
This market situation arose due to fears that ongoing tariffs could freeze global trade, increase prices, and possibly trigger a recession if no changes occur.
Despite tariff worries, several companies including Honeywell International, Sherwin-Williams, UPS, General Motors, and Coca-Cola reported better-than-expected quarterly profits, with some issuing cautious forecasts amid uncertainty.
Significant market movements included Honeywell rising 5.4%, Sherwin-Williams up 4.8%, Coca-Cola increasing 0.8%, General Motors slipping 0.6%, and UPS dropping 0.4%, while the 10-year Treasury yield fell to 4.17% and Brent crude oil declined to $62.64 per barrel.
The mixed market and cautious corporate outlooks highlight ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty influenced by tariffs, as households and CEOs express growing pessimism about income, jobs, and business conditions.
