On Monday, the US stock market closed near record levels. June also started well after the excellent performance in the month of May. S&P 500 gained 0.4%, Dow Jones gained 35 points (0.1%), and Nasdaq gained 0.7%.
However, the day started with a decline in the market as the reports related to US manufacturing were disappointing. Despite this, the market recovered due to a rise in the shares of big companies like Nvidia and Meta. The rise in oil prices by more than 3% is also affecting the market. OPEC+ countries have announced an increase in production, but concerns about supply remain due to the tensions between Russia and Ukraine.
Meanwhile, tensions between the United States and China have escalated again. China accused the US of violating the trade agreement by taking steps like stopping the sale of AI chips and canceling visas. Trump has also accused China of not following the agreement.
Trump raised the duty on steel imports by 50% to save the steel industry, causing shares of Nucor and Steel Dynamics to rise more than 10%. But shares of automakers like Ford and General Motors fell.
