US stocks, cryptocurrencies erase early gains as tariff negotiation optimism wavers

US equities and cryptocurrencies stalled Tuesday afternoon, reversing earlier gains after the White House dashed hopes that international tariff negotiations were on the table.
The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite — after rallying more than 4% each at the start of the session — were back in the red by the close, ending the day about 2% and 1% lower, respectively. Bitcoin and ether were trading 4% and 6% lower on the day at 4 pm ET. Bitcoin, which briefly appeared insulated from the broader market selloff, is now down more than 12% since President Trump’s “Liberation Day” announcement.
Tuesday’s early stock rebound appeared to be spurred by optimism that Trump may walk back aggressive global tariffs unveiled last week. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said during a Tuesday morning CNBC appearance that there may be “some good deals” on the table. The rally then stalled when hours later Trump confirmed that tariffs as high as 104% on Chinese imports will go into effect at midnight, unless Beijing reverses its retaliatory tariffs on the US.
Investors continue to try and parse through mixed messages from the Trump administration about the permanence of tariffs, and the likelihood of any deals with foreign nations.
