US stock indexes are fluctuating after the US imposed lower tariffs on European imports than initially announced. Meanwhile, Wall Street anticipates crucial economic reports, including corporate earnings and Federal Reserve's interest rate decision.

US stock indexes are experiencing fluctuations following the United States' decision to impose a 15% tax on cars and products from the European Union, a rate lower than initially threatened by President Donald Trump.
Wall Street is bracing for a busy week filled with potential market-shaking events, including corporate earnings reports from major companies like Apple and Amazon, and the Federal Reserve's upcoming decision on interest rates. Tesla shares saw a 3.5% rise after a significant deal with Samsung Electronics for chip supplies, valued at over USD16.5 billion. This development boosted Samsung's stock by 6.8% in South Korea.
Meanwhile, the tech and AI sectors remain robust, as companies like Advanced Micro Devices and Super Micro Computer continue to show strength. Analysts are watching closely for updates on US economic growth, employment, and consumer confidence, which could influence future market performance.
