Market Overview

Major US stock markets opened with caution on Tuesday, as investors sifted through a slew of corporate earnings released before the bell. With more key reports expected after the close, all eyes are on the results from major tech and consumer firms for clues on the broader economic momentum.

Political Tensions Rise

Adding to the market's cautious stance, tensions between the Trump administration and Amazon escalated. White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt criticized Amazon's decision to highlight Trump-era tariff costs on product pages, labeling it a "hostile and political" move.
