Stocks Steady At Record High, Autos, Chips & Drugs Tariffs

S&P futures hovered around their second record high of the year so far, with markets absorbing the latest tariff update from President Trump concerning auto, pharmaceutical drug and semiconductor imports. President Trump says he will probably meet his Russian counterpart as soon as next week to advance Ukraine talks. Andreas Kluth from Bloomberg Opinion believes those talks represent a rupture in the concept of “the west.” Leslie Vinjamuri of Chatham House thinks America’s old allies need to focus less on the president’s rhetoric and more on what’s at stake. The bull market can continue running until a catalyst stops it, says Julian Emanuel of Evercore ISI. “Bloomberg Brief” delivers the market news, data and analysis you need to set your agenda.
