U.S. stocks mostly rose after getting some relief from an encouraging inflation update. But even on a rare up day for the market, President Donald Trump’s trade war still knocked stocks around.
The S&P 500 climbed 0.5% Wednesday after skidding between an even bigger early gain and a later loss. The Dow Jones Industrial Average also pinballed between gains and losses, and wound up 0.2% lower. The Nasdaq composite added 1.2%.
AI stocks led the way, but U.S. companies targeted by tariffs announced by Europe and others weighed on the market. Harley-Davidson and whiskey maker Brown-Forman fell.
