The Dow, S&P 500 and Nasdaq retreat from record highs as President Trump rolled out a fresh tariff against Canada, following Brazil hit. Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve and Chairman Powell are under fire for spending on renovations.

Analysts expect profits from companies in the S&P 500 to climb 4.8% in the second quarter, according to FactSet. That would mark the lowest year-over-year growth since 2023, and a steep drop from the 13% jump during the first three months of this year.

Late Thursday, Trump posted a letter threatening to impose 35% tariffs on goods from Canada. The barrage of letters began on Monday, setting tariffs of 25% on goods from Japan and South Korea and 50% on Brazil.

Markets had dismissed tariff risks under the assumption that Trump would follow an earlier pattern and back off, in what became known as the so-called TACO trade. That allowed stocks to reach new record-high territory recently, marking a stunning rebound from the collapse triggered by his “Liberation Day” reciprocal tariffs in April.

Stock indexes edged higher on Thursday, with investors weighing the latest trade announcements from U.S. President Donald Trump, while the Brazilian real recovered some losses following Trump's announcement of a 50% tariff on goods from Brazil.
