Wall Street Drifts as Oil Prices Jump and US Manufacturing Slumps
- U.S. Stocks drifted lower on Monday as President Trump announced a doubling of steel and aluminum tariffs to 50%, effective Wednesday.
- The tariff hikes followed accusations from Trump that China failed to uphold a recent tariff pause agreement amid escalating U.S. Export controls and visa restrictions.
- Despite a better-than-expected S&P Global manufacturing report, overall U.S. Manufacturing contracted more than economists anticipated, causing market declines.
- Crude oil prices rose about 3%, with U.S. Crude at $62.65 and Brent at $64.56, after OPEC+ decided to increase production as investors had widely expected.
- The tariff increases and ongoing trade tensions contribute to economic uncertainty, higher borrowing costs as Treasury yields rose to 4.43%, and possible price increases for metal-based goods.
