5 分钟Hey listeners, it's Saturday, July 12th.
I'm Francesca Fontana for The Wall Street Journal, and this is What's News in Markets,
our look at the biggest stock moves of the week and the news that drove them.
Let's get to it.
Maybe one day I won't sound like such a broken record, but once again,
the big story of the stock market this week was trade, trade, trade.
I'm gonna stick to a couple of the highlights.
So first off,
President Trump's announcement of tariffs on global copper imports sent the metals' futures rising,
and with them, shares of mining companies like Freeport McMorrin,
which gained 2.5 percent on Tuesday.
And the stock rose roughly 3.5% on Thursday,
the day after Trump reiterated his plans for the U.S. to start collecting the tax on August 1st.
There's also the Brazilian tariff news, 50%, also starting next month.
And this sent a BlackRock ETF that tracks an index of Brazilian stocks falling,
U.S. traded shares of JetMaker and Breyer dropped more than 4% on Thursday,
and most relevant to my caffeine-fueled lifestyle, Arapaka Coffee Futures grows 1.3%.
All in all, the three major indexes each fell on the week.
The Dow lost 1%, the S&P 500 lost 0.3%, and the NASDAQ edged 0.1% lower.
The beef between Trump and billionaire Elon Musk is still going strong and still moving shares of Musk's electric car maker,
