US close: Stocks higher as traders shrug off tariff concerns

(Sharecast News) - Major indices closed higher on Monday as market participants shrugged off tariff threats from the Trump White House. At the close, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 0.38% at 44,470.41, while the S&P 500 advanced 0.67% to 6,066.44 and the Nasdaq Composite saw out the session 0.98% firmer at 19,714.27.

The Dow closed 167.01 points higher on Monday, taking a bite out of losses recorded on Friday after Donald Trump announced that he was planning to slap reciprocal tariffs on trading partners.

"I'll be announcing that next week reciprocal trade, so that we're treated evenly with other countries," said Trump. "We'll have a news conference, and we'll lay it out pretty simple."

Trump later announced that he plans to introduce a blanket 25% tariff on all steel and aluminium imports but fell short of specifying when the tariffs would be imposed. He also noted that he would also issue retaliatory tariffs on countries that tax US imports.

In the corporate space, fast food giant McDonald's said Q4 revenues fell 0.28% to $6.39bn, falling short of expectations for a reading of $6.45bn, with a 1.4% in US same-store sales offsetting a 0.4% increase in global same-store sales.

No major data points were scheduled to be released on Monday.
