Shifting to a broader perspective, the global financial markets are reacting to President Trump’s recent escalation of trade tariffs. U.S. stocks concluded higher on August 8, 2025, with the S&P 500 increasing by 0.8% and the Nasdaq composite reaching an all-time high. Significant gains were observed in several companies, including Nvidia, which rose by 1.1%, Apple, which increased by 4.2%, and Gilead Sciences, which escalated by 8.3% following better-than-expected financial results.

The financial sector also observed positive movements, with Bank of America and Mastercard increasing by 2.4% and 2.3%, respectively. These developments are set against the backdrop of ongoing U.S.-China trade tensions and shifting Federal Reserve interest rate policies, creating an atmosphere of uncertainty regarding future economic conditions.
