The US econom<\/strong>y is showing signs of a growing gap<\/strong>, with major tech firms and big banks thriving while many other businesses are struggling with higher costs and new tariffs, the Fin<\/a>ancial Times<\/a> reports. Second quarter earnings from companies like Apple, Meta, Microsoft, JP Morgan, and Goldman Sachs have exceeded expectations, reinforcing President Trump\u2019s assertion that the American economy is booming, but that can\u2019t be said for all companies. These companies, especially those in tech and finance, are driving a disproportionate share of S&P 500 earnings, as the top ten stocks now account for one-third of total earnings \u2014 with tech leading the way with 41% y-o-y earnings growth and finance following with a 12.8% y-o-y increase. <\/p>\n

Tech giants, including Microsoft and Meta, both beat expectations<\/strong>, with profits up 25% and 36%, respectively, due in part to strong spending on artificial intelligence. \u201cIt\u2019s been another solid earnings season, with bulls focused on their growing artificial intelligence capex spending,\u201d AlphaCore\u2019s David Stubbs said. <\/p>\n

(Tap or click the headline above to read this story with all of the links <\/strong>to our background as well as external sources.)<\/p>\n

But, the rest of corporate America is telling a different story. <\/strong>Many companies in the consumer staples and materials sectors are seeing declines, with earnings down y-o-y. Over half of S&P 500 firms that have reported 2Q earnings so far have seen their margins shrink. While sales are rising, increased costs \u2014 partly due to tariffs \u2014 are affecting earnings as many firms have not yet passed those costs on to consumers.<\/p>\n

The effects of Trump\u2019s tariff policy are becoming more visible<\/strong>, especially in sectors tied to manufacturing and consumer durables. Automakers, airlines, and home appliance producers reported some of the steepest downward revisions to their full year net income guidance. Ford, for example, posted a surprise loss partly due to a USD 800 mn tariff-related expense. Meanwhile, companies missing earnings expectations saw their share prices drop an average of 5.6% in the four days around their earnings announcements, which is more than double the five-year average.<\/p>\n

The economic data is also showing signs of a slowing momentum. <\/strong>Job growth slowed significantly, with only 106k jobs added between May and July, compared to 380k in the previous three months. GDP grew at an annualized rate of 1.1% in 1H 2025, down from 2.9% in 2H 2024. Despite this, the Federal Reserve held rates steady last week at 4.25-4.5%, resisting Trump\u2019s pressure for cuts amid what he claims is an economy resilient to his trade war.<\/p>\n

MARKETS THIS MORNING- <\/p>\n

Asian markets are mostly in the green in early trading this morning <\/strong>with South Korea\u2019s Kospi leading gains, rising 0.5%. Hong Kong\u2019s Hang Seng and the Shanghai Composite are looking at more moderate gains of 0.2%, meanwhile Japan\u2019s Nikkei is down 1.9%. <\/p>\n
