US stock markets experienced a slight dip on Tuesday, following a period of volatility stemming from US-China trade tensions. The Dow fell 0.4%, the S&P 500 0.2%, and the Nasdaq 0.1%. While some positive news, like tariff exemptions for certain electronics and strong earnings from some companies, offered temporary relief, Boeing's stock fell 2% after reports of China halting plane deliveries. Mega-cap tech stocks mostly declined, though some chipmakers and Tesla saw gains. Netflix surged after revenue targets were reported, and Hewlett Packard Enterprise also climbed on news of activist investor involvement. Treasury yields continued their decline, and gold prices rose.
