U.S. stocks closed higher on Thursday, but off the session's loftiest levels, after President Trump touted his first significant win in securing a trade deal with a longstanding trade partner.
The U.S. and U.K. outlined broad strokes of their trade agreement, which still would keep 10% tariffs in place on many British imports sold in the U.S., while allowing more American agriculture products into the U.K.
Stocks lost ground in late-afternoon trade after Bloomberg reported that Trump wants to see a tax hike on wealthy people who earn $2.5 million or more.
The blue-chip Dow Jones Industrial Average closed 254.48 points higher, or up 0.6%, ending at 41,368.48. That was slightly less than the 10% climb needed from its recent closing low to cement an exit from correction territory for the index. The minimum needed would be a close of 41,410.15 or higher.
The S&P 500 gained 32.66 points, or 0.6%, ending at 5,663.94.
The Nasdaq Composite finished 189.98 points higher, or 1.1%, closing at 17,928.14.
U.S. productivity decreased at a 0.8% annual rate in the first quarter, the government said Thursday. That’s the first decline since the second quarter of 2022.
Economists surveyed by the Wall Street Journal had projected a 0.7% decrease. Over the past four quarters, U.S. productivity has increased at a 1.4% pace, the slowest pace since the first quarter of 2023.
Unit-labor costs, a key measure of wages, jumped 5.7% in the first quarter, up from 2.0% in the fourth quarter.
🔴 Negative for inflation outlook: Rising labor costs and falling productivity raise inflation risks.
🔴 Potential market impact: Could push bond yields higher as traders reassess interest rate cuts.
🔴 Federal Reserve implication: Makes the Fed’s job harder—slower growth but still sticky inflation.
