Trump's new tariff policy
According to the White House, now new duties ranging from 10% to 41% will be imposed on American imports. Also, if any country has tried to avoid tariffs by transshipping the goods, then an additional 40% tax will be imposed on it. Pressure has also increased on important trading partners like Canada - the duty on goods coming from there has been increased from 25% to 35%.

Expert Comment: Adam Crisafulli of Vital Knowledge says, "It is now becoming clear that these tariffs can create conditions like stagflation (inflation + recession) for the economy."

Second big thing of the day: US jobs data
July jobs data will come on Friday at 6:00 pm (Indian time). Estimate: 1 lakh new jobs, unemployment rate may increase to 4.2%. This report can have a direct impact on investor sentiment, especially at a time when the market is already in a fragile mood.

Amazon drops Nasdaq
Amazon's stock fell 7%, the company gave weak operating income guidance for the current quarter. Apple's stock rose 2%, on the back of better results.

But this week's figures show that the market is facing obstacles S&P 500: -0.8% this week Dow Jones: -1.7% Nasdaq: almost flat What's next - According to City Index analyst Fawad Razaqzada, AI-boom and Big Tech earnings are pulling the market up, but geopolitical tensions, tariff uncertainty, and valuation fears could weaken this rally. 

What does it mean for investors? The new tariff policy could have a long-term impact on the economy - especially on the inflation front. A sharp fall in Dow Futures indicates that US markets may remain weak on Friday. If the jobs data is weaker than expected, this decline could deepen.
