• Is trust in the US market eroding?

  So much for the mini relief rally in one of the world’s most popular stocks. Shares of Nvidia fell as much as 5% in early trading on Wednesday as the company said it would take a $5.5 billion charge as the Trump administration barred it from selling its H20 AI chip in China. The news comes a day after Nvidia tossed the Trump administration a big bone in committing to spend $500 billion over four years to manufacture AI supercomputers in the US. Nvidia’s whopping charge and the subsequent negative reaction in the stock should remind investors of at least two things. One, the US and China remain far apart in a trade deal – and in the meantime, escalations along the lines of the Nvidia chip news should be expected. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent suggested a deal with China hasn't yet taken form in an exclusive interview with Yahoo Finance on Tuesday. Talks between the two haven’t commenced, Bessent suggested. And two as it pertains to Nvidia, in this environment investors should assume bad news isn’t baked into the stock price. The fact Nvidia’s stock price is being hit on news pros say had been expected says a lot about ongoing market uncertainty amid the trade war.

• Why Bill Ackman & Jamie Dimon may be wrong about tariff inflation

  Just like that, hope for the economy tied to the Trump administration's pro-business policies, such as tax codes, have gone up in smoke. In its place is an almost baseline scenario on Wall Street that the US economy will slip into a recession amid bruising new tariffs, while some sources we have talked to suggest the US economy is already in a mild recession and others have voiced concerns about a depression. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell has acknowledged the challenges the US economy may face this year as tariffs ripple through global supply chains. He also has hinted the Fed’s hands may be tied with respect to an economic slowdown response. Yahoo Finance Executive Editor Brian Sozzi sits down with veteran economist and Independent Institute senior fellow Judy Shelton to get her perspective on the state of the economy as it has been shocked by the Trump administration. Shelton is a long-time critic of Fed policy, and she weighs in on what Powell & co. may do next.

• Why the US may already be in a recession

  With Trump tariff headlines ripping through markets and economic data, recession calls or predictions for a sharp economic slowdown are coming into the light. The most direct one comes out of BCA Research’s veteran strategist Peter Berezin. Berezin said he sees a 75% chance of a recession within the next three months. In his second quarter outlook for clients, Berezin warned about a “buckling” US consumer and weakening labor market. Berezin has gained attention of late for being the lone bear on Wall Street coming into 2025. He has a year-end target on the S&P 500 of 4,450. The S&P 500 (^GSPC) opened the year at 5,903. Berezin has been an economist for more than 30 years, with stints at the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Goldman Sachs, and now BCA Research. Yahoo Finance Executive Editor Brian Sozzi sits down on the Opening Bid podcast with Berezin about his big calls and why investors need to listen up.
