On October 14, 2025, stock markets showed mixed results as the Dow Jones managed a 0.4% increase while the S&P 500 fell 0.2% and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite declined by 0.8%. The volatility was driven by escalating trade tensions between the US and China, highlighted by President Trump's threats to halt purchases of Chinese cooking oil in retaliation for China's refusal to buy US soybeans. Meanwhile, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell indicated potential fiscal easing with rising downside risks to employment. Earnings reports from major banks, alongside significant moves in tech stocks like Nvidia and AMD, compounded market fluctuations.
