The Worst Day Of 2025 (So Far)

U.S. stocks tumbled, ignoring Trump’s turnaround on Canada and Mexico tariffs. Risk-off behavior was a global theme, with China bucking the trend after stimulus hopes took hold. Tomorrow’s nonfarm payrolls data will help the market assess recession risks, either emboldening bears or letting the bulls battle back. 👀

Today's issue covers stocks ignoring a ‘pause-itive’ development, China surging on stimulus hopes, Intuitive Machines’ hard landing, private equity’s dumpster dive, and the “Stocktwits Cashtag Awards Presented by eToro.” 📰

Here’s the S&P 500 heatmap. 2 of 11 sectors closed green, with energy (+0.30%) leading and technology (-2.78%) lagging.

And here are the closing prices:

Stocks Ignore A “Pause-itive” Development 🤔 

Besides Chinese stocks, which we cover in our next story, the rest of the globe’s stocks had a rough day today. President Donald Trump postponed Mexico’s tariffs for a month early in the day and added Canada to the list later. ◀️ 

Still, it appeared the damage was done because the stock market could not erase its losses but at least stopped going down.

Adding to global growth concerns was the European Central Bank cutting rates for the sixth time in nine months, hoping to buoy economic growth in the eurozone. The central bank reduced its growth projections again, reacting partially to Germany’s move to increase military and infrastructure spending. ✂️ 

Many negative factors are still swirling in the market, but a big earnings beat by Broadcom may help boost the semiconductor industry and overall tech sector. The company offered strong guidance for its current quarter, citing a boom in its artificial intelligence (AI) business.

$AVGO ( ▲ 3.94% ) shares are up 12% after the bell, and Stocktwits community sentiment pushed into ‘extremely bullish’ territory. 🤩 

With that said, not every tech firm is experiencing the same AI boost. Hewlett Packard Enterprise $HPE ( ▲ 1.91% ) is plummeting 25% after the bell. Heavy discounts helped it beat revenue expectations, but its forward guidance was weak, and management said it would trim its headcount by 5% (2,500 people) to cut costs.

All eyes turn to tomorrow’s nonfarm payroll numbers, where investors will look to gauge U.S. recession risk. If it’s positive, the Broadcom boost could help give the bulls power to battle back before markets close for the weekend. Time will tell. 🤷
