Market Enthusiasm Fades Over US-EU Trade Deal

Rally Fizzles as EU Trade Deal Optimism Wanes

The market’s early enthusiasm around the U.S.–EU trade deal failed to hold by the close, with only the Nasdaq finishing solidly higher.

📉 Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA)

  • Close: 44,837.56
  • Change: -64.36 (−0.14%)

📈 Nasdaq Composite

  • Close: 21,178.58
  • Change: +70.27 (+0.33%)

🟰 S&P 500

  • Close: 6,389.77
  • Change: +1.13 (+0.02%)

🔹 Takeaway:
While tech names helped keep the Nasdaq in positive territory, broader market momentum cooled as investors reassessed the real economic impact of the U.S.–EU agreement. The Dow slipped modestly, and the S&P 500 barely clung to gains, suggesting traders are shifting focus to this week’s key earnings and economic data.
