NEW YORK — (AP) — U.S. stocks are remaining relatively calm ahead of President Donald Trump’s latest tariff deadline. The S&P 500 rose 0.2% Monday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 83 points, and the Nasdaq composite rose 0.4%. Wall Street is coming off a rocky few weeks, where it set a record and then dove amid worries about tariffs. Trump’s tariffs on Canada and Mexico are scheduled to start Tuesday after being delayed a month. Wall Street’s hope is he’ll ultimately go with policies that would mean less damage for the global economy. European indexes surged, as stocks outside the United States continue to be the year’s best.
