💨 Abstract

President Donald Trump's tariffs had minimal impact on U.S. markets in 2025, with mixed finishes across major indices. The S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average dipped, while the Nasdaq rose slightly. Concerns over the economic damage from tariffs are offset by hopes for interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve and strong corporate earnings. Meanwhile, the Russell 2000 index dropped slightly.
