How major US stock indexes fared Tuesday, 4/1/2025

U.S. stocks swerved through another shaky day of trading, with uncertainty still high about just what President Donald Trump will announce about tariffs on his “Liberation Day.”

The S&P 500 rose 0.4% Tuesday after swinging between a drop of 1% and a gain of 0.7%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped less than 0.1%, and the Nasdaq composite rose 0.9%.

Treasury yields dropped in the bond market after a report said U.S. manufacturing contracted last month, breaking a two-month streak of growth. Markets have been shaky in the run-up to Wednesday, when Trump will announce a sweeping set of tariffs.
