White House Criticizes Amazon as Shares Drop 1%, US Indices Open Mixed

Reporting by Liao Yuxuan, the global negotiations regarding tariffs continue to affect the stock market. Today (29th), the three major US stock indices opened mixed, with the Dow Jones gaining 55 points in the first five minutes to reach 40,283 points, an increase of 0.14%; the S&P 500 dipped 0.33% to 5,510 points; and the Nasdaq fell 0.5% to 17,278 points.
Amazon faced criticism from a White House spokesperson today, causing its stock to drop over 1%. The spokesperson stated that Amazon’s intention to list tariff costs on its website is “an act of hostility with political intent.” Additionally, European stock markets showed mixed results, with France declining by 0.29%, underperforming the rest.
The tariff issue is drawing global investors' attention, with many countries currently negotiating with the US. US Treasury Secretary Basant mentioned in a White House briefing that Japan and India are negotiating tariff issues with the US, but it remains unconfirmed whether China is involved, putting pressure on the stock market.
