Wall Street Opens Lower Amid Market Volatility, Tech CEOs to Meet with Trump
Volatility continues on Wall Street as markets are set to open lower following a brief rally. After back-to-back losses on Monday and Tuesday that sent the Dow Jones down over 1,300 points, stocks rebounded Wednesday, with the Dow jumping 485 points, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq both posted gains exceeding 1%.
The rally came after the White House announced a one-month delay on tariffs for automakers in Canada and Mexico, sparking optimism that President Trump could offer similar exemptions for other industries.
Meanwhile, trade tensions remain a focal point as President Trump is reportedly planning to meet with CEOs of major U.S. tech companies next week. According to Bloomberg, executives from Hewlett-Packard, Intel, IBM, and Qualcomm are expected to attend, with trade policy and U.S. manufacturing at the top of the agenda.
Hewlett-Packard has confirmed its attendance at the meeting set for Monday, while Intel, IBM, and Qualcomm have yet to comment. The White House has also not provided further details.
With ongoing trade uncertainty and market fluctuations, investors are keeping a close eye on upcoming policy decisions and corporate reactions.
