U.S. stocks ended higher on Monday, showing resilience despite rising trade tensions between Washington, Beijing, and Brussels.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Nasdaq Composite climbed 0.7%, while the S&P 500 added 0.4%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average posted a marginal gain of less than 0.1%.<\/p>\n
The uptick came after China pushed back<\/a> against President Trump\u2019s accusation that it had breached the trade truce struck earlier this year.\u00a0<\/p>\n Beijing blamed the U.S. for escalating tensions by tightening export controls on AI chips and restricting visas for Chinese students.\u00a0<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent expressed<\/a> confidence that President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping would resume talks soon.<\/p>\n European officials also criticized<\/a> the U.S. over plans to double tariffs on steel and aluminum to 50% starting Wednesday, warning of potential retaliatory duties. A European Union trade delegation is now in Washington to address the issue.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Despite the geopolitical friction, investor sentiment was buoyed by a rally in the energy sector. The S&P 500 Energy index rose 1%, driven by a 2.8% jump in U.S. crude-oil prices following a drone strike by Ukraine on Russian military targets. Additionally, OPEC+ announced<\/a> a supply increase set for July, which further fueled gains in oil and copper futures.<\/p>\n Treasury yields moved higher, with the 10-year yield rising to 4.461% and the 30-year reaching a key technical level. The dollar index weakened, while the euro, pound, and yen gained.<\/p>\n The S&P 500 and Nasdaq are now coming off their strongest month since 2023, signaling renewed investor appetite despite global uncertainties.<\/p>\n <\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" U.S. stocks ended higher on Monday, showing resilience despite rising trade tensions between Washington, Beijing, and Brussels.\u00a0 The Nasdaq Composite climbed 0.7%, while the S&P 500 added 0.4%.
