Sector Update: Financial
Apr 10, 2025 10:51 AM

01:37 PM EDT, 04/10/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Financial stocks tumbled in Thursday afternoon trading with the NYSE Financial Index dropping 5.1% and the Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLF) sliding 4%.

The Philadelphia Housing Index dropped 4.1%, and the Real Estate Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLRE) fell 3.1%.

Bitcoin (BTC-USD) declined 4% to $79,167, and the yield for 10-year US Treasuries lost 4 basis points to 4.36%.

In economic news, the US tariff rate on goods coming from China now totals 145%, CNBC reported, citing confirmation from a White House official. Trump's executive order on Wednesday raised the tariff rate on China to 125% from 84%, but that hike comes on top of a 20% fentanyl-related tariff that Trump previously levied on the nation, the report said.

The consumer price index decreased 0.1% in March, compared with the Bloomberg-polled consensus for a 0.1% increase. Prices were up 0.2% in February. Annually, inflation cooled to 2.4% in March from the previous month's 2.8% pace and came in below Wall Street's estimate for 2.5%.

In corporate news, Block (XYZ) will pay a $40 million penalty for major failures in its anti-money laundering compliance program on the Cash App platform, the New York State Department of Financial Services said. Block shares fell 6.5%.
