Market Reactions to Tariffs and Regulatory Changes

On this episode of Stock Movers:
- European defense stocks, one of this year’s best-performing groups, slump amid a broad market rout. Meanwhile, Reuters reports that US firm Howmet Aerospace told customers it has declared a force majeure event in the wake of the tariffs announced by President Donald Trump.
- The Trump administration decided against allowing Medicare to pay for obesity drugs, a move that would have given millions of older Americans access to the medications and cost the government billions.
- Shell shares drop as much as 8.4% to trade at the lowest in two years, after the oil major lowered its 1Q gas output guidance, adding to grim sentiment caused by the global stock market slump and oil prices at four-year lows. The company cited unplanned maintenance in Australia and adverse weather as reasons for the downgrade.
