US stocks fell on Thursday, with traders dialing back risk as they assess mixed signals on the US economy. President Donald Trump ’s plans to ratchet up the US military budget buoyed defense stocks around the world. The S&P 500 Index slumped 0.2% as of 9:43 a.m. in New York after setting a fresh record earlier this week, while the technology-heavy Nasdaq 100 Index fell 0.7%. Shares of companies like Lockheed Martin Corp. , Northrop Grumman Corp. and Kratos Defense & Security Solutions Inc. soared after Trump signaled plans to raise military spending to $1.5 trillion in 2027. “The typical beginning of the year momentum might be slowing,” said Thomas Thornton , founder of Hedge Fund Telemetry LLC. “Trump has been active on social media and causing weakness with housing-related stocks and large firms that buy houses. Offsetting that is his offhanded comment raising the defense budget. It’s all insane.” Read More: Stock Traders Whipsawed as Trump Sets Sights on Defense, Housing With a series of incendiary posts on his social-media platform, Trump shook up the stock market this week by announcing potentially game-changing new policies targeting the defense industries and housing industries. On Wednesday, the president also signed an executive order demanding major US defense contractors that work with the government end stock buybacks , stop issuing dividends and cap executive pay at $5 million a year until they invest more in factories and research to speed development. Meantime, housing-related companies were under pressure after he said he would move to ban institutional investors from buying single-family homes. Mixed data throughout the week offered little clarity on the health of US economy and the trajectory for further interest rate reductions by the Federal Reserve in the months ahead.

Sudden Change Of Heart By Colombia's Petro: 'Good Call' With Trump Leads To Planned WH Meeting Another foreign leader and strident Trump critic has had a rapid about-face after coming under 'threat' . And this in turn has caused President Trump to cool his own condemnations and rhetoric. Colombia's president Gustavo Petro has long been among the fiercest opponents of the US President's Venezuela policy, and especially his weekend military action which ousted Nicolás Maduro. They've frequently clashed over several months of the American military build-up in the southern Caribbean, with Petro being the butt plenty of colorful Truth Social posts by Trump, including labeling Petro "sick".

It noted that "A US official also said the call lasted about an hour, which is unusually long for a call between Mr. Trump and another leader ." The Colombian side had a similarly positive assessment, with the Foreign Ministry calling it a "good meeting" . Via Reuters And it hasn't taken long, following Trump saying he appreciates Petro's "call and tone" - for him to even get a White House invite. Trump said Petro had "called to explain the situation of drugs and other disagreements that we have had." Now a future meeting to further advance relations and cooperation is being arranged by Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Colombia’s foreign minister, Trump confirmed, which he said he is looking forward to. "I appreciated his call and tone, and look forward to meeting him in the near future ," Trump said in a fresh Truth Social post. The meeting will take place at the White House. A mere days ago Trump had denounced Petro as he...
