Wall Street followed up one of its best days of the last year with a quiet performance.
The S&P 500 rose 0.2 percent Tuesday after jumping 1.8 percent Monday on hopes that President Donald Trump’s tariffs may not be as sweeping as feared. The Dow Jones Industrial Average edged barely higher, and the Nasdaq composite added 0.5 percent.
Trump Media & Technology Group jumped to one of the market’s bigger gains after announcing a deal to offer “America First” investment funds. But signs are piling up that Trump’s tariffs are making U.S. consumers more worried about the economy’s future.
