TheDrop Market Analysis, 07/22/25

Markets saw mixed results as trade deals were made internationally while tariffs continue to plague operations of high-impact companies.

General Motors facility.

The Nasdaq index fell 0.4% as investor sentiment cools down from yesterday's rally. However, the S&P 500 and Dow rose, with the former eking out an all-time high.

While the slim majority of stocks did rise earlier today because of Trump's successful trade deal with the Philippines after President Trump invited Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos over to the White House, later in the day stocks began to recede after General Motors reported its earnings to have fallen due to tariff threats which took over $1.1 billion from its core profit margin, which sank 32% in the second quarter. Philip Morris, Lockheed Martin, and RTX also fell due to similarly detrimental earnings reports.

Still, earnings reports await for Mag. Seven companies Tesla and Google, which are set to release tomorrow.
