The S&P 500 rose slightly on Tuesday as investors assessed the threat of new tariffs from President-elect Donald Trump.

Trump on Monday night called for a 25% tariff on products from Mexico and Canada, as well as an additional 10% levy on Chinese goods. He has already said he would impose a tariff of up to 20% on all imports, and an additional duty of at least 60% on products from China.

To be sure, Wall Street appeared to be taking the news in stride, "both because investors don't entirely believe the levies will wind up being implemented and as the headlines are counteracted by favorable year-end seasonality and decent earnings," according to Adam Crisafulli of Vital Knowledge.

While S&P 500 futures were little changed, some individual names and funds moved in premarket trading as investors analyzed potential impacts from the policies Trump discussed. Automakers Ford and General Motors slid more than 2% and 4%, respectively. The iShares MSCI Mexico ETF (EWW), which tracks a basket of equities tied to America's southern neighbor, shed more than 1%.

Stocks are coming off an action-packed session fueled by the announcement of Trump's Treasury secretary pick, hedge fund executive Scott Bessent. Monday's gains helped bolster the belief that the postelection rally is back in full gear following a brief breather.

Both the Dow and S&P 500 hit new intraday records in Monday's session, with the former also finishing the day at an all-time closing high. The small cap-focused Russell 2000 also notched a fresh high, marking its first new intraday record since 2021.

That advance came as Treasury yields fell with traders taking a favorable view of Bessent leading the department. Many investors view the hedge fund manager as a champion of financial markets and the economy given his background, and as someone who could potentially counteract some of Trump's aggressive trade aspirations.

Investors will monitor Federal Reserve meeting minutes due out at 2 p.m. ET for insights into the path of monetary policy.

The U.S. market is closed Thursday for the Thanksgiving holiday and set to close early Friday, with volume expected to remain light.

Bernstein is bullish on Royal Caribbean

Bernstein believes with the cruise industry on an upward trajectory, Royal Caribbean is the best way to play the sector.

Analyst Richard Clarke initiated coverage on Royal Caribbean with an outperform rating and $290 price target, which implies 20.6% upside potential from Monday's close.

"Cruise has changed for the better: from an operational perspective, bigger boats and private island resorts are reversing the prior demographic and capacity constraint headwinds, and have set the sector for ongoing share gains," Clarke wrote in a research note on Monday.

"Royal Caribbean has hit cruising speed faster with its record margins and ROIC by investing in larger ships and private islands," Clarke added.

Shares have rallied nearly 86% in 2024.

HSBC downgrades big bank names

HSBC is stepping to the sidelines on investment banking giants Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley following a strong year for the stocks.

Analyst Saul Martinez downgraded both bank stocks to hold from buy. Meanwhile, he raised his price target on Goldman Sachs to $608 from $569, implying less than 1% upside potential from Monday's close. He also increased his Morgan Stanley price target by just $3 to $131.

Shares of Morgan Stanley have rallied 43.3% year to date, while Goldman Sachs shares have surged 56.3% in 2024.

Following the two stocks' big gains, "a higher bar has been set" with less attractive risk-reward profiles, according to Martinez.
