How Major US Stock Indexes Fared March 27

Wall Street edged lower after getting pulled in opposite directions as President Donald Trump’s latest tariff escalation creates winners and losers among auto stocks.

The S&P 500 slipped 0.3 percent Thursday after drifting between small gains and losses. Better-than-expected data on the economy also helped support the market.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average dipped 155 points, and the Nasdaq composite fell 0.5 percent.

General Motors sank sharply after Trump announced 25 percent tariffs on imported cars. Foreign automakers likewise fell, but Rivian and Tesla held up better. So did companies that could benefit from U.S. drivers opting against buying new cars.

On Thursday:

The S&P 500 fell 18.89 points, or 0.3 percent, to 5,693.31.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 155.09 points, or 0.4 percent, to 42,299.70.

The Nasdaq composite fell 94.98 points, or 0.5 percent, to 17,804.03.
