What Happened in Markets Today
Trade war heats up. Take our whiskey, we'll take your Champagne. President Trump responded to the EU's plan to impose a 50% tariff on American whiskey with a threat to impose a 200% tariff on alcoholic beverages from the 27-nation bloc.
Stocks get burned again. Fears about the escalating trade war and inflation sent U.S. stocks down sharply, with the Dow and S&P 500 losing more than 1% and the Nasdaq Composite shedding 2% by the closing bell. For the Dow, it was the third drop of more than 1% over the last four trading days.
Megacaps melt down. All six tech giants valued at more than $1 trillion closed in the red-and all but Nvidia shed more than 1% for the day. The total damage among the six was about $323 billion in lost market cap.
Intel's new boss helps buck the trend. Intel was one of the few big gainers for the day, with the stock jumping 14.6% after the company named well-regarded chip industry vet Lip-Bu Tan as its new CEO. Heard on the Street's Dan Gallagher says the honeymoon will be short.
