After a promising start to the week, US stock markets remained largely stable on Tuesday. The Dow Jones Industrial recorded a slight increase of 0.3 percent and closed at 46,858 points. In contrast, the S&P 500 lost 0.1 percent, falling to 6,728 points, while the tech-heavy NASDAQ 100 fell 0.3 percent to 25,058 points.
Recent market developments have been influenced by negative news on US tariff policy, which caused short-term pullbacks. However, many investors used this as a buying opportunity, hoping that companies’ billion-dollar investments in artificial intelligence (AI) would lead to significant profits in the future. The ongoing earnings season, which picked up steam on Tuesday, will put that optimism to the test, with initial reactions largely positive.
Vey-Sern Ling, managing director at Union Bancaire Privee, expressed confidence about the market opportunities. Given falling interest rates and structural growth in AI demand, investors have every reason to be optimistic. As long as there is no sharp slowdown in the US economy or a renewed escalation of tensions between the US and China, markets could remain well supported through the end of the year.
Some companies were able to demonstrate particularly positive results. Coca-Cola shares rose 3.8 percent after the soft drink maker beat analysts’ expectations. The conglomerate 3M recorded a share price increase of 4.3 percent after raising its profit outlook again. General Motors also surprised with a higher adjusted profit and saw its shares rise 14 percent.
In the defense sector, the news was mixed. RTX (Raytheon Technologies) recorded a price increase of 9.2 percent thanks to higher annual targets, while shares in Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman suffered losses. Media and entertainment group Warner Bros. Discovery gained 9 percent after it said it was exploring various options to maximize shareholder value.
After trading closed in New York, the streaming provider Netflix and the chip manufacturer Texas Instruments reported on their business development in the last quarter. Both companies saw only minor price movements. Investors are eagerly awaiting further reports to better assess the sustainability of current market trends.
