Stocks fell deeper into tariff despair at Monday's opening bell but started to climb early in the final trading session of the first quarter. It's D-day minus two, and investors, traders and speculators are still trying to get their heads around the implications of President Donald Trump's so-called Liberation Day.
At the closing bell, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 1% at 42,001, the S&P 500 added 0.6% at 5,611, and the Nasdaq Composite was off 0.1% to 17,299. While mixed today, all three indexes closed lower for the first three months of 2025.
