4E: EU-US trade talks stall, US stocks and crypto markets fall back

On April 16, according to 4E monitoring, affected by the deadlock in trade negotiations between Europe and the United States, investors were cautious, and US stocks failed to continue their rebound on Tuesday. The three major indexes collectively closed slightly lower, but the volatility has slowed down significantly compared with the recent period. As of the close, the Nasdaq index fell 0.05%, the S & P 500 fell 0.17%, and the Dow fell 0.39%. Technology stocks performed differently, with the Big Seven index falling about 0.4%.

The market for counterfeit products generally fell, led by the Meme and AI sectors. Despite the sharp fluctuations in financial marekt in recent months, Bitcoin remained stable at more than 80,000, showing strong resilience.
The clouds of the trade war continue to hang over the market, the uncertainty of Trump's tariff policy has exacerbated concerns about a global economic slowdown, and the deadlock in negotiations between Europe and the United States has further increased market uncertainty. The earnings season for US stocks has kicked off, and this week's earnings reports of many large companies will be released or exacerbate market volatility.
