Morning Report 31 Jan 25: US stocks rise and US Treasury yields fall on signs US economy is doing

US sharemarkets rose but pared gains on Thursday after US President Donald Trump said he will impose 25% tariffs on imports from both Canada and Mexico on February 1. Investors also digested recent quarterly earnings results a day after the US central bank held interest rates steady. IBM jumped 13% after the company surpassed fourth quarter profit expectations. Casino stock Las Vegas Sands gained 11.1% after announcing better-than-expected revenue in the fourth quarter. Tesla rose 2.8% after saying it was on track to roll out new, cheaper EV models in the first half of 2025. It also said it would start testing a paid autonomous car service in June, overshadowing quarterly results that fell short of expectations. Microsoft dropped 6.2% after forecasting disappointing growth in its cloud computing business, while Meta Platforms added 1.6% after beating fourth quarter revenue estimates. United Parcel Service (UPS) lost 14.1% after forecasting 2025 revenue below expectations. The Dow Jones, the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq indexes rose.
