Wall Street Ends Higher As Tech Stocks Lead Gains Amid Tariff Concerns
"The concern is that increased tariffs will raise costs for manufacturers and reduce revenues for companies reliant on global supply chains," remarked Robert Pavlik, Senior Portfolio Manager at Dakota Wealth.Wall Street saw modest gains on Tuesday, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq indices rising, as a rebound in technology stocks helped offset concerns over trade tariffs proposed by President-elect Donald Trump.
