How major US stock indexes fared Tuesday, 3/11/2025
Wall Street ended moderately lower after careening from a small gain to as much as 10% below its record. The whipsaw trading followed the latest escalation in President Donald Trump’s trade war.

Gains for Tesla and other influential stocks muted the losses.
Trump said he would double his planned tariffs on steel and aluminum for Canada, a retaliation that prompted the provincial government of Ontario to back down on its planned surcharges on electricity sold to the U.S.
