US stocks rose on Friday with the S&P 500 gaining 0.7% and the Nasdaq rose 0.9% after the Supreme Court struck down President Trump’s reciprocal tariffs. The Dow added 0.5%, recovering from early losses despite a weak 1.4% GDP print weighed down by the government shutdown. While the court ruled the administration lacked authority under IEEPA to impose sweeping duties, Trump immediately countered by announcing a new 10% global tariff via executive order. Amazon and Home Depot jumped 2.6% and 1% as investors weighed potential refunds of $175 billion against the threat of these new levies. Tech strength helped the Nasdaq snap a five-week losing streak even as core PCE inflation held at a sticky 3%, keeping the Fed on guard with Alphabet leading the way after adding 3.7%. Traders now face a new tug-of-war as the removal of original tariff uncertainty is met by fresh protectionist measures, with the White House vowing a stronger direction.

US Stocks Mixed in Afternoon Trading
US stocks rose in volatile trading on Friday afternoon after the Supreme Court struck down President Trump's emergency tariffs, sparking a relief rally across trade-sensitive sectors. The S&P 500 gained 0.6% and the Nasdaq climbed 0.8% while the Dow added 0.2% as the court ruled the administration exceeded its authority. Amazon jumped 2% on the removal of import cost headwinds and Alphabet rose nearly 4% as the decision eased fears of a major inflationary catalyst. The rally pushed past a downbeat GDP report showing the economy grew just 1.4% in Q4, far below estimates. Markets also navigated sticky inflation data with core PCE holding at 3%, keeping the Fed on a data-dependent path. While industrials benefited from potential tariff refunds, gold miner Newmont fell 4% on lower production guidance. Despite the volatility the Nasdaq is set to snap a five-week losing streak as the courts rebuke provides a temporary green light for equity bulls.
