Following President Donald Trump's decision to delay the 50% tariff on the EU until July, the U.S. stock market saw an upward trend on Wednesday (28th), with all four major indices opening higher. In the popular stocks segment, Apple, Meta, and NVIDIA all opened in the green, while TSMC's ADR and Tesla faced declines.

The four major U.S. indices opened at 9:30 PM Taiwan time on Wednesday. Here's how they fared: The Dow Jones Industrial Average opened at 42,361.63 points and is currently at 42,376.84 points, up 33.19 points or 0.08%; the S&P 500 opened at 5,925.54 points and is currently at 5,930.91 points, up 9.37 points or 0.16%; the Nasdaq opened at 19,232.62 points and is currently at 19,246.27 points, up 41.77 points or 0.25%; the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index opened at 4,868.56 points and is now at 4,867.74 points, up 6.65 points or 0.14%.

President Trump posted again on the 27th, expressing satisfaction with the delay of the 50% tariff on the EU, especially citing "slow progress" in negotiations as a reason (a polite euphemism!). He reminded that if no agreement is reached or if the U.S. is treated unfairly, he reserves the right to establish terms regulating trade imports into the U.S.

He urged the EU to quickly confirm meeting dates with him, hoping they would ultimately open their markets to allow free trade for the U.S., similar to his requests made to China. Despite Trump's announcement regarding tariffs, the U.S. markets continued to show gains today.

Apple opened at $200.68, now up to $201.41, a gain of $1.20 or 0.6%; Meta opened at $643, now at $650.25, a gain of $7.93 or 1.23%; NVIDIA opened at $136.05, now at $135.99, a gain of $0.49 or 0.36%. However, TSMC's ADR and Tesla opened lower. TSMC's ADR opened at $194.1, currently at $196.28, down $1.40 or 0.71%; Tesla opened at $364.84, now at $360.91, down $1.83 or 0.53%.
