  • The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that IEEPA does not give Donald Trump authority to impose tariffs, striking down his emergency-based global duties.

  • In response, Trump announced a new 10% worldwide tariff under Section 122, while keeping existing Section 232 and Section 301 tariffs in place.

  • Trump cited alternative trade laws including the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, the Trade Act of 1974, and the Tariff Act of 1930 as legal backing going forward.

  • Markets closed higher despite weak 1.4% fourth-quarter GDP growth and 3% core PCE inflation, with the S&P 500 at 6,909.51, the Nasdaq at 22,886.07, and the Dow at 49,625.97.
