US Market News Digest for March 28

Auto tariffs rattle markets: stocks under pressure, gold gains

This image is no longer relevant

The White House imposed 25% tariffs on automobiles and parts, triggering a sell-off in the auto manufacturing sector and broad declines in major stock indices. The Dow Jones, S&P 500, and Nasdaq all closed lower. General Motors and Ford were hit hardest, with shares falling amid expectations of rising costs and weakening demand. A surge in gold prices added to the signal as investors rotated into safe-haven assets on growing concerns over deteriorating trade relations.

The current environment has heightened market volatility, opening short-term opportunities. Traders may look at pullbacks in the auto sector as speculative entry points. It is also worth tracking safe-haven flows into gold and bonds. If pressure persists, tech stocks could offer buy-the-dip opportunities. Follow the link for details.

Investors exit auto sector as recession fears mount

This image is no longer relevant

US indices fell once again following the announcement of new tariffs on automakers. Under normal circumstances, the market might have reacted positively to strong GDP data, but trade risks have overshadowed the macro picture. Investors are rapidly dumping auto stocks on fears that the trade war between the United States and other nations could escalate into a systemic crisis.

Markets are now highly sensitive to any official statements. For traders, this may present opportunities — sharp intraday swings create setups for short-term trades. For long-term investors, it could be time to reassess portfolio structure. Sectors that have held up better could become temporary points of interest. The key is to act with a clear understanding of risk. Follow the link for details.

Market awaits inflation data: uncertainty persists

This image is no longer relevant

Despite the newly imposed tariffs, the US stock market has avoided a deep sell-off. Indices are showing mixed performance. Investors are watching the news closely and holding back from major trades. Uncertainty continues to dominate the market — some are anticipating new support measures, while others expect worsening inflation data. The S&P 500 is moving sideways, while activity in certain sectors remains elevated.

In this environment, traders should focus on short-term positions and keep a close eye on key headlines. In particular, the upcoming inflation data will be critical as it could determine the direction of the market in the coming weeks. If the numbers come in below expectations, it could trigger a reversal. We offer the right tools to trade under such conditions: tight spreads, low commissions, and broad access to US equities.

S&P 500 under pressure as market awaits fresh catalyst

This image is no longer relevant

A continued decline in the S&P 500 is not just about tariffs — it also reflects slowing earnings growth among major corporations. Investors are cutting equity exposure, especially in the tech sector. The Magnificent Seven stocks no longer have the same upward pull on the market. Still, analysts believe this weakness is temporary — companies are adapting to the new environment, and a fresh market catalyst could emerge in the coming weeks.

Momentum remains muted for now, but that does not mean the market has lost its potential. Traders should track earnings from major firms and look for entry points following pullbacks. Both short-term trades and longer-term positioning can be considered, depending on the news cycle and earnings reactions. Follow the link for details.
