U.S. stocks ended higher Tuesday, with the S&P 500 largely clawing back the previous session's tariff-induced fall, as tech stocks jumped and enthusiasm over artificial-intelligence plays was reignited.
Analysts said markets saw some relief after Trump on Monday delayed tariffs against Canada and Mexico until March 1. An additional tariff of 10% on Chinese goods drew little lasting reaction, with Beijing's response seen as symbolic and perhaps leaving room for negotiation, analysts said. Meanwhile, a report showing job openings in December fell to a nearly four-year low helped keep alive expectations for further Federal Reserve interest-rate cuts.
The Dow Jones rose 134.13 points, or 0.3%, to finish at 44,556.04.
The S&P 500 gained 43.31 points, or 0.7%, to end at 6,037.88.
The Nasdaq Composite closed at 19,654.02, up 1.4%.
The numbers: It’s gotten harder for the unemployed to find work: Job openings in the U.S. fell at the end of 2024 to the second lowest level since the end of the pandemic.
In December, job openings in the U.S. decreased to 7.6 million from 8.2 million in November, marking a significant drop from the 2022 peak of 12.2 million. This decline reflects a broader trend over the past two years where openings have decreased sporadically by over a third. Additionally, the labor market is showing signs of cooling as it now takes longer for people to find jobs after losing them, with unemployment benefits claims reaching their highest levels since 2018, excluding the pandemic years. There has also been a notable increase in the number of people unemployed for over six months. The recent job openings data suggests that the labor market may not be as robust as suggested by the job growth reported in November and December. Further insights are expected with the January employment report, which will also include revisions to last year’s job estimates, amidst speculations by some economists that these gains have been overstated.
