Summary
The S&P 500 saw a 0.55% increase following positive U.S. GDP growth news and President Trump’s retraction of a tariff threat related to Greenland. Despite a selloff earlier in the week, the index is near its all-time high. Future contracts and European markets showed early signs of profit-taking, while analysts are optimistic about the economic outlook. JPMorgan Chase noted that the impact of tariffs is lower than expected and that a Supreme Court ruling against the government’s authority to enact tariffs could improve market conditions further.
