These Were the Big Movers on the S&P 500 on Monday

Decliners

• Tractor Supply Co. (TSCO) shares sank 5.8%, losing the most of any stock in the S&P 500. The retailer of rural lifestyle products has pointed to its past success in adapting to tariffs during Trump's first presidential term, which its CEO said involved a roughly even split of the burden between the company itself, supplying manufacturers, and price increases for customers. While the company imports a relatively limited amount of the products it sells, a significant amount of those imports come from China. At the same time, tariffs on materials like steel and aluminum could also add to price pressure.
• Shares of tool manufacturer Stanley Black & Decker (SWK) dropped 5.7%. Monday's decline extended losses posted last week following Trump's tariff announcement. With a significant production footprint in Asia, Stanley could see a major impact from the intensifying trade conflict. During its latest earnings call, the company's chief financial officer (CFO) estimated a potential net tariff impact of $10 million to $20 million in 2025, but he indicated that the company would implement countermeasures, including supply chain adjustments and pricing measures.
• Homebuilder stocks lost ground, reversing some of the strong gains posted late last week as the broader markets tumbled. In addition to signs of a possible reprieve in interest rates, the exemption of lumber imports from Canada contributed to enthusiasm around the homebuilding sector on Friday. However, the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) indicated that tariffs on other key materials could still contribute to price increases for homes around the country. Shares of D.R. Horton (DHI), PulteGroup (PHM), and NVR (NVR) all declined roughly 5% on Monday.

Advancers

• Shares of companies exposed to artificial intelligence technology 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:staged a partial recovery from the tariff-driven selloff. Analysts at Bernstein said that, while it is difficult to predict how long or deep the market downturn may turn out to be, they maintain their belief in the underlying AI story. Shares of AI server maker Super Micro Computer (SMCI) jumped 10.7%, notching the top performance of any S&P 500 stock, while shares of other AI players also pushed higher.

• Dollar Tree (DLTR) shares jumped 7.8% after Citi upgraded the discount retailer's stock to "buy" from "neutral." Analysts noted that Dollar Tree could have the flexibility to raise its prices as tariffs affect global supply chains, suggesting that the company's stores could lift price tags to $1.75 from current levels of $1.25 without encountering significant pushback. Citi's team also recalled that when Dollar Tree initially moved past the $1 price point several years ago, the company saw sales growth and a boost in its EBIT margin.
• Shares of Texas Pacific Land (TPL), which owns major acreage in the oil-rich Permian Basin, added 6.9%. Emerging from the bankruptcy of a railroad company in the 19th century, the land trust has been exploring opportunities to diversify its revenues, including water sales, easements, and even cryptocurrency mining projects.

US Steel Soars After Trump Orders Review of Nippon Deal

Shares of U.S. Steel (X) j𓂃umped on Monday after President Donald Trump said the company's proposed acquisition by Japan's Nippon Steel should be reviewed.

Trump said in a presidential action that he is ordering the Comm♓ittee on Foreign Investment in the U🌌nited States (CFIUS) to "conduct a review of the acquisi🗹tion of U.S. Steel by the Purchasers to assist me in determining whether further actiꦺon in this matter may be appropriate."

Former President Joe Biden 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:blocked the $14.1 billion deal in the final days of his presidency, citing national security concerns. Trump noted that in the order blocking the deal, Biden "reserved the right" to issue further orders on the sale. The companies 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:later sued 💙the U.S. government to challenge the blockage.

Within the next 45 days, Trump has asked CFIUS to "submit a recommendation to me describing whether any measures proposed by the parties are sufficient to mitigate any national security risks" posed by the deal, as identified by the committee.

Shares of🅺 U.S. Steel soared 16% on Monday to a n෴ew 52-week high.

Here's How Many Americans Own Stocks

Stocks have been hit hard. That’s cu﷽t into the wealt💯h of a broad swath of Americans. 

More than 60% of Americans have money in the market, according to Gallup data from May, up from a bit above 50% in the middle of the last decade. That reflects comparatively large holdings among those with annual🦩 incomes at or above $100,000—but Gallup also found that about two-thirds of middle-income Americans, andﷺ a quarter of those with annual incomes below $40,000, were invested through some combination of stocks or funds. 

That tracked with data released in late 2023 by the Federal Reserve, which found that more than a third of families in the bottom half of the U.S. income distribution held stock—along with more than three-quarters of the upper-to-middle income group and 95% of the top decile.

Last’s week’s dramatic and 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:downbeat market response to the Trump administration's 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:latest announcement on tariffs has led many inve📖stors, from Wall Street to Main Street, to wrestle with how to respond as they've seen their portfolios shrink.

A steep two-day drop-off left some wai𓄧ting for the market to change direction and others who expect the drubbings to continue; Monday morning, stocks have whipsawed. 

About a fifth of Americans who invest in stocks believe they have a “high” risk tolerance, according to YouGov data released Friday, while about 40% said they generally maintain their investments amid economic or market uncertainty🌃.

“Your brain has identif🎉ied a risk and it’s screaming at you to run away. It’s working as intended. Otherwise, I’d recommend you get your head checked,” wrote Callie Cox,🧸 chief investment strategist at Ritholtz Wealth Management, in an emailed commentary. “Honor your natural tendencies, but don’t listen to them. In many situations, touching the hot stove isn’t the best solution.”

Medicare Payment Boost Sends Insurance Stocks Soaring

Several big health-insurance stocks jumped inꦉ extended trading Monday after the federal government said it would pay Medicare insurers more next year than previously expected.

The Centers for Medicare & Medicai♊d Services said payments will 🅠increase by 5.06% on average, more than the 2.83% the government said it anticipated in January.

Payments such as these to insurers cover costs for Medicare Advantage, in which private plans are an alternative to the government-run health care program for Americans 65 and older. The government said it is increasing the payments to reflect increased costs for health care.

The news lifted several stocks in the after-hours session. Humana (HUM) was recently up 12%, while CVS Health (CVS) rose 7%. Elevance Health (ELV) and UnitedHealth Group (UNH) each added about 6%.

A Rollercoaster for Major Indexes on Monday

Major indexes finished relatively unchanged on Monday after two days of massive losses. But the acti🌊on was🐼 anything but calm.

The Nasdaq Composite fell as much as 5.2% in the opening minutes of trading before jumping as much as 4.5% above Friday's close by around 10:15 a.m. ET, after unfounded reports that President Trump could delay imposing the tariffs that have sent markets into a tailspin. The S&P 500 fell as much as 4.7% and rose as much as 3.4% over the period. As for the Dow, the blue chip index jumped nearly 2,600 points from its early low to its high for the session.

Nvidia, Supermicro Surge as AI Stocks Rebound From Rout

Shares of Nvidia (NVDA) surged Monday afternoon as semiconductor and 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:artificial intelligence stocks attempted to rebound from a tariff-fueled sell🃏off.

Nvidia gained 3.5%, leading gains on the 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:Dow Jones Industrial Average. Broadcom (AVGO), Micron Technology (MU), Lam Research (LRCX), Applied Materials (AMAT), and other semiconductor stocks also rose, boosting the PHLX Semiconductor Index (SOX) about 3.5%. 

"We are not sure where Nvidia (or anything else) will bottom in the near term," Bernstein analyst Stacy Rasgon wrote in a note to clients Monday. "But we do believe the AI narrative is still real. And once things do settle down (hopefully soon!) the stock at these levels is probably worth a look."

Shares of server maker and Nvidia partner Super Micro Computer (SMCI) jumped more than 10%, leading gains on the S&P 500. Nvidia partner Rigetti Computing (RGTI) saw its shares soar 11% after it was chosen along with IonQ (IONQ) and quantum computing companies to participate in a Department of 🌠Defense program.

 Other AI investor favorites, including Palantir (PLTR), were higher as well.

Morgan Stanley Downgrades Banks as Recession Risks Rise

Analysts at Morgan Stanley on Monday cut their outlook on large- and mid-capitalization banks to "in-line" from "attractive," writing that President Donald Trump's tariffs are increasing recession risks.

In their note on large-cap banks, Morgan Stanley analysts led by Betsy Graseck wrote that while their base case is for a "significant" 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:gross domestic product (GDP) slowdown, 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:recession risks have surged. The slower GDP growth, coupled with increasing 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:economic uncertainty, is set to "push out the nascent capital markets🌟 rebound, incrementally 🍨slow loan growth, and drive net charge offs across consumer and commercial loans," they wrote. 

They said that American consumers, who drive U.S. GDP growth, "do not have savings levels to absorb these tariffs and continue spending at pre-tariff levels."

The analysts also 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:downgraded Goldman Sachs (GS) to "equal-weight" from "overweight," saying the Wall Street powerhouse is the most exposed to 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:investment banking revenue, which is more vulnerable "to recession risk and deteriorating market conditions" than that of traditional commercial banks. They upgraded Bank of America (BAC) to "overweight" from "equal-weight," citing cheap 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:valuations.

Shares of Golꦬdman Sachs slipped nearly 1% intraday, while those of Bank of America are up more tha𒆙n 3%.

Meanwhile, Morgan Stanley analysts led by Manan Gosalia downgraded midcap banks, "as higher and faster than expected tariffs raise recession risks, weigh on loan growth and in-turn, forward EPS and 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:multiples."

Oil Prices So Low That It's Not Always Profitable to Drill

Oil prices fell to their lowest level in years ꧟on Monday as worri🌜es about the reciprocal tariffs President Donald Trump announced last week continued to ripple through global markets.

Futures contracts for West Texas Intermediate, the U🐟.S. crude oil benchmark, traded as low as $58.96 on Monday morning, their first dip below $60 since April 2021. Oil prices have slumped about 15% since Wednesday when Trump announced sweeping tariffs that are expected to raise t🌠he effective U.S. tariff rate to its highest level in more than a century.

Economists warn that tariffs of that magnitude will likely 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:slow global economic growth, d𝔍ealing a blow to oil demand. Trump campaigned on taming inflation and has tied that goal to cheaper energy.

“Oil pric𓆉es are down, interest rates are down (the slow moving Fed should cut rates!), food prices are down, there is NO INFLATION♛,” he posted to Truth Social on Monday morning.

Oil prices are a direct input to inflation formulas and indirectly influence prices through their impact on the cost of producing and shipping goods. They are also volatile, which is why some economists consider 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:core inflation, which excludes energy and food prices, a better indicator of inflationary trends than the 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:headline figure. 

The Personal Consumption Expenditures Price Index, the Federal Reserve’s preferred inflation measure, increased 0.3% in December, January, and February. Meanwhile, core PCE accelerated in each of those months and 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:rose 0.4% in February. 

While lower oil and gas prices could offset some tariff-related price increases, they’re likely to have economic fallout of their own. According to the most recent Dallas Fed Energy Survey, oil producers require an average price of $65 a barrel to profitably drill a new oil well, with nearly 60% requiring pri🌞ces to be higher. That could complicate Trump’s plan to “unleash American energy” by encouraging producers to ramp up oil production.

“In a strange twist to the administration's hope for more domestic oil and gas production, higher steel tariffs may result in fewer wells completed due to higher completion costs,” one oilfield services firm recently told the Dallas Fed. “The margins are thin enough for many wells, and this will likely result in downward pressure on total wells brought online.”

The president ha♌s insisted that higher costs can be offset by slashing regulations, which he claims burden oil and gas producers with unnecessary costs. However, some drillers operating in the Permian Basin, the source of nearly half of America’s oil, say the ne💧w administration’s regulatory plans will be “no real change at all.”

“We still get our permits from the♌ Railroad Commissionꦐ in Texas, for example, not the Environmental Protection Agency,” according to one firm. “The federal regulatory regime matters if you are operating in the Gulf of Mexico or Alaska but not for the Permian, Eagle Ford, Bakken, Utica, etc.”

Why Tesla's Biggest Bull Just Slashed His Target Price

Tesla (TSLA) stock tumbled Monday as the 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:selloff sparked by the Trump 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:administration's new tariffs continued, and Wedbush an🐻alysts le🌟d by bull Dan Ives cut their price target for the stock to $315 from $550 previously.

The analysts called the current tariff uncertainty a "double whammy" for Tesla, as it will negatively affect the electric vehicle maker's costs and profit margins, and also drive more negative reaction to CEO 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:Elon Musk and the brand, leading to lower sales.

"Tesla has essentially become a political symbol globally....and that is a very bad thing for the future of this disruptive tech stalwart and the brand crisis tornado that has now turned into an F5 tornado," the analysts wrote.

They estimated Tesla has lost "at least 10% of its future customer base" over "self created brand issues." The impact will also be felt in China, where the analysts said the impact of Musk's association with the Trump administration could drive Chinese consumers to buy increasing numbers of EVs made by domestic companies like BYD.

The analysts called for Musk to "step up, read the room, and be a leader in this time of uncertainty." They said their bullish view of Tesla remains for the long term but "there is no denying this is a pivotal moment of truth for Musk to turn things around...or darker days are ahead."

Tesla shares were down 4% in recent trading and have fall✱en about 4🌳3% since the start of the year.

One of Trump's Biggest Wall Street Backers Wary of Tariff Plan

Even one of President Donald Trump's most vocal backers is wary of his tariff plan. 

澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:Bill Ackman, the billionaire CEO of hed🐻ge fund Pershing Square and one of Trump's most fervent supporters on Wall Street, on Sunday criticized the president's "massive and disproportionate tariffs" on key U.S. trading partners and urged Trump to call a "90-day time out" to allow for negotiations.

 "Business is a confidence game. The president is losing the confidence of business leaders around the globe," Ackman posted to X on Sunday evening. "The consequences for our country and the millions of our citizens who have supported the president—in particular low-income consumers who are already under a huge amount of economic stress—are going to be severely negative. This is not what we voted for." 

Ackman equated Trump's reciprocal tariffs—including a 20% levy on imports from the 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:European Union, 46% on Vietnamese goods, and 24% on Japanese products—with declaring "economic nuclear war on every country in the world," and warned the move would obstruct investment in the U.S. and cause lasting damage to America’s ꦡreputation on the world stage. 

In separate posts Sunday evening and Monday morning, Ackman placed blame for the tariff plans squarely on the president's advisors. "I just figured out why @howardlutnick is indifferent to the stock market and the economy crashing," he wrote late Sunday, referring to Commerce Secretary and former Cantor Fitzgerald CEO Howard Lutnick. "He and Cantor are long bonds. He profits when our economy implodes," Ackman wrote.

National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett criticized Ackman on Fox News on Monday morning, saying, "I would urge everyone, especially Bill, to ease off the rhetoric a little bit. ... The idea that it's gonna be a 'nuclear winter' or something like that is completely irresponsible rhetoric."

Ackman softened his comments on Lutnick Monday morning, writing that "It was unfair of me to lash out at @howardlutnick. I don't think he is pursuing his self interest… I am just frustrated watching what I believe to be a major policy error occur after our country and the president have been making huge economic progress that is now at risk due to the tariffs."4

But Ackman continued to push back on the tariff plans. "The formula used by the administration to calculate tariffs made other nations’ tariffs appear four times larger than they actually are," he wrote Monday morning, citing research from the American Enterprise Institute, a right-leaning think tank. "The President's advisors need to acknowledge their error before April 9th and make a course correction before the President makes a big mistake based on bad math."

Goldman Cuts GDP Estimate, Raises Risk of Recession

Goldman Sachs analysts told clients Sunday they are cutting their forecast for 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:gross domestic product growth in 2025, and raising their recession risk forecast in response to the Trump admini𓂃stration's new tariffs.

The analysts now put a 45% chance on a recession coming in the next year, up from 35% previously, due to a "sharp tightening in financial conditions, foreign consumer boycotts, and a continued spike in policy uncertainty that is likely to depress capital spending by more than we had previously assumed."

However, that 45% is predicated on the effective tariff rate rising by 15 points, less than it's currently expected to rise if the Trump administration's 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:tariffs announced last week go into effect on Wednesday. If most or all of thoseౠ tariffs are enacted a❀nd the effective tariff rate rises by roughly 20 points, the analysts said the likelihood of a recession could rise above 50%.

The Goldman analysts lowered their GDP growth forecasts to 0.5% for the fourth quarter and𒀰 1.3% for 2025, down from 1% and 1.5%, respectively.

The analysts said they now expect the Federal Reserve to make three co♒nsecutive quarter-point rate cuts starting in June, a month earlier than they previously expected cuts to start. In a recession, they expect abou🅺t 2 points in total cuts over the next year.

The major indexes were down sharply Monday morning, extending last week's tariff-fueled selloff after the stock market had one of its 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:worst weeks in years.

Wall Street Banks Trim S&P 500 Forecasts

Banks are scaling back their 2025 outlooks for U.S. stocks as uncertainty about the economy and markets esca🌠lates.

The benchmark 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:S&P 500 could slump to 4,700, a further 7%-8% decline from Friday's close, if President Donald Trump sticks with his tariff plans or the 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:Federal Reserve doesn't ease interest rates, Morgan Stanley analys🍷ts wrote.

The analysts said they had offered a 5,100-5,200 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:technical support level for the S&P 500 last Thursday but noted that𝓀 "with the market quickly trading there on Friday and overnight futures down another 3-5% so far, our thoughts turn to the next area of support, which lies closer to the 200-week moving average, or 4700."

Oppenheimer analysts on M💯onday cut their target to 5950 from 7100.

"The equity market appears oversold in our view," Oppenheimer's analysts wrote, "with uncertainty at levels investors find hard to embrace along with what we call 'a negative pitch book' that seemingly projects negative outcomes to infinity that’s taken hold in the near term of trader, investor, and consumer sentiment. 

The index closed at 5,074.08 Friday, having suffered the 澳洲幸运5官方开奖♛结果体彩网:seventh-worst week in the last 25 years, a d🍸ecline of more than 9%. The S&P 500 was down nearly 5% in early trading Monday.

"Valuations also offer better support at that price so investors should be prepared for another 7-8% potential downside from Friday's close if there is no line of sight to a less severe trade environment and the Fed remains firmly on hold," Morgan Stanley's analysts wrote.

Trump so far has shown no signs of backing down from the tariffs, while Fed officials have elected to keep their key interest rate steady. Fed Chair Jerome Powell said Friday that Trump's larger-than-expected tariffs could 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:stoke inflation and slow economic gr🍌ꦓowth.

Bitcoin Price Levels to Watch as Cryptocurrency Slides

Bitcoin (BTCUSD) dropped below the closely watched $80,000 level on Monday amid intensifying worries about the ꧋imp𒆙act of tariffs.

The digital curr𒆙ency was at $77,400 recently, down from around $84,000 on Friday afternoon and trading at its lowest levels since Novembe🤪r, as investors steer clear of risky assets.

After falling below the 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:200-day moving average (MA) last month, bitcoin’s price consolidated within a 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:rising wedge before breaking down below the bearish 🐻pattern in late March, signaling a continuation move lower.

Indeed, the cryptocurrency’s price has continued its 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:downtrend, with declines accelerating on Sunday evening after a brief period of 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:sideways drift. It’s also worth pointing out that the 50-day MA has crossed below the 200-day MA to form an ominous 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:death cross, a chart pattern that warns of further selling.

Investors should watch key support levels near 🍃$74,000, $65,000, and $57,000, while also monitoring a major overhead area near $87,000.
