Stocks closed lower Friday, a day after the S&P 500 posted a new record high and President Donald Trump announced a 35% tariff on Canada and threatened higher tariffs across the board.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 279.13 points, or 0.63%, to close at 44,371.51. The S&P 500 slid 0.33% to end at 6,259.75, and the Nasdaq Composite ended the day 0.22% lower at 20,585.53.
Friday’s losses, driven by an escalation in the trade war, came after all three major averages rose during Thursday’s session.
The S&P gained 0.3% on Thursday to notch a new record, while the tech-focused Nasdaq finished higher by 0.1% as investors shrugged off any worries around the latest trade developments, including a 50% U.S. tariff on imported copper as well as a 50% tariff on Brazil unveiled this week. CNBC
