2. Investors Brace for Trump Tariffs Announcement After Markets Close

President Donald Trump is set to unveil his latest tariffs proposal at a White House event slated to start at the close of markets at 4 p.m. ET. Trump’s advisers continue to hash out the details surrounding the new tariffs he plans to implement ahead of the “Liberation Day” event, Bloomberg reported. While Trump has said he was seeking reciprocal tariffs to match import taxes on U.S.-made products, a report in The Washington Post indicated that advisers were also mulling a 20% tariff on nearly all imported products.

3. Tesla Stock Slips Ahead of Quarterly Deliveries Data

Tesla (TSLA) shares are down 2.5% in premarket trading ahead of the electric vehicle maker’s expected release of its first-quarter deliveries data this morning. Analysts expect Tesla to report 393,000 deliveries, up less than 2% year-over-year but fewer than last quarter’s 495,570 vehicles. The data comes as analysts have raised concerns that CEO Elon Musk’s work with the Trump administration is creating distractions and impacting Tesla’s business. Tesla shares have shed one-third of their value in 2025.

4. Visa Offers Apple $100M to Take Over Credit Card Network, Report Says

Visa (V) is offering a payment of roughly $100 million to get Apple’s (AAPL) credit card network business, according to The Wall Street Journal. The report said that Apple would select a payment provider before selecting a bank to take over its credit card from Goldman Sachs (GS), and that Visa is competing with Mastercard (MA)—which is “fiercely trying to keep its role as the network on this card”—and American Express (AXP). The Journal previously reported that JPMorgan Chase (JPM), Synchrony Financial (SYF), Capital One (COF) and American Express were in the running to take over as the issuer of the credit card.
