The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed higher on Wednesday for only the second time in the past eight sessions, bolstered by Apple Inc.'s commitment to invest in U.S. manufacturing.
Meanwhile, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq also climbed to one-week highs, with investors seemingly brushing aside President Donald Trump's decision to impose a 50% tariff rate on India.
The Dow rose 81.38 points, or 0.2%, to close at 44,193.12, based on preliminary data. Apple was the index's biggest gainer, rising by about 5%.
The S&P 500 advanced 45.87 points, or 0.7%, to end at 6,345.06. That was the highest closing level since last Wednesday.
The Nasdaq Composite rose 252.87 points, or 1.2%, to finish at 21,169.42. That was the highest closing level since July 28.
Amid growing political tensions, U.S. economic data—the backbone of government policy, financial markets, and household decision-making—is under threat. Originating during the Great Depression to stabilize economic policy, reliable data like GDP, CPI, and employment figures are now central to how the $30 trillion U.S. economy functions. However, recent developments—including President Trump’s firing of the top Labor Department statistician—have sparked fears that political interference may compromise the accuracy and impartiality of key economic reports.
This concern is amplified by staffing cuts, survey response declines, and the scaling back of inflation tracking, all of which raise red flags for investors, particularly in inflation-sensitive markets like TIPS. Experts warn that if trust in the data erodes, decision-making across the economy could become distorted, increasing risks for retirees, business leaders, and market participants alike. While a single firing may not break the system, persistent tampering or perception of bias could do long-term damage.
Bottom line: The integrity of U.S. economic statistics—long taken for granted—is becoming a political battleground, with serious implications for markets, monetary policy, and public trust.
