Instant Reaction: Trump’s Global Tariffs Found Illegal by US Appeals Court
Most of President Donald Trump’s global tariffs were ruled illegal by a federal appeals court that found he exceeded his authority in imposing them, but the judges let the levies stay in place while the case is subject to further review.The US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit on Friday upheld an earlier ruling by the Court of International Trade that Trump wrongfully invoked an emergency law to issue the tariffs. But the appellate judges sent the case back to the lower court to determine if it applied to everyone affected by tariffs or just the parties involved in the case.Friday’s 7-4 decision by the Federal Circuit could extend the suspense over whether Trump’s tariffs will ultimately stand. The case had been expected to next go to the Supreme Court for a final ruling. The administration could now turn to the justices, who have largely backed the president on other matters. But the White House could also let the Court of International Trade revisit the matter first.“ALL TARIFFS ARE STILL IN EFFECT!” Trump said in a post on Truth Social shortly after the decision was issued.

S&P 500 Hits Record Ahead of PCE Data
The S&P 500 rose 0.3% to a record Thursday after data showed the US economy expanded faster than initially estimated, highlighting the resilience of consumer spending. While that soothed recession jitters, it raised doubts about the upcoming inflation report, which is expected to show core personal consumption expenditures prices rising 2.9% in July, the fastest pace in five months. We look ahead to the July PCE numbers - and what they could mean for Fed policy - with Alonso Munoz, Chief Investment Officer at Hamilton Capital Partners.Meanwhile, shares opened lower in Japan and Australia while South Korea climbed. Oil fell 0.6% after gaining in the previous session on waning prospect of a peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine. The yen held steady against the dollar.

US Futures, Nvidia Drop After Chipmaker's Tepid Outlook
US equity-index futures and shares of Nvidia retreated after the chipmaker's sales outlook missed lofty expectations, weighing on sentiment around the world's most valuable listed company. Nvidia said Wednesday that sales will be roughly $54 billion in the fiscal third quarter, which runs through October. Though that was in line with the average Wall Street estimate, some analysts had projected more than $60 billion. The outlook adds to concern that the pace of investment in AI systems is unsustainable. Difficulties in China also have clouded Nvidia's business. Though the Trump administration recently eased curbs on exports of some AI chips to that country, the reprieve hasn't yet translated into a rebound in revenue. We get reaction from David Waddell, CEO and Chief Investment Strategist at Waddell & Associates.Meantime, Bloomberg Opinion's Shuli Ren says a new China-buys-China narrative is taking shape as Beijing steps up its tech rivalry with the US. In her latest column, she writes that the world's second-largest economy not only wants to build generative AI models, but power them with its own hardware, redrawing a supply chain dominated by Nvidia. Shuli joins Bloomberg's Shery Ahn and Avril Hong on The Asia Trade.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
