U.S. stocks ended lower after Walmart provided disappointing guidance, with the Dow Jones down 1%, S&P 500 down 0.4%, and Nasdaq down 0.5%. Concerns over the economy’s health grew as Walmart’s weak guidance overshadowed its earnings beat. Other retailers like Target and Costco also suffered. Trump’s tariff plans on Mexican, Canadian, and Chinese imports raised concerns of a global trade war. Economic data showed jobless claims at 219,000, an increase from the previous week. Continuing claims were at 1,869,000. Decliners outnumbered advancers on the NYSE and Nasdaq.
