Wall Street rose modestly by midday Tuesday, as investors weighed the latest developments in trade negotiations and awaited a wave of key economic data and corporate earnings set for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45072497/us-trade-deficit-explodes-to-record-162-billion-in-march-as-import-frenzy-precedes-trumps-tariff-barrage">release later this week.</a>
President Donald Trump is <a href="https://apnews.com/article/trump-tariffs-automakers-factories-relief-25a400c98e02c01c8c54502384e267e1">expected</a> to unveil a new executive order on auto tariffs later today. Meanwhile, U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessent added that the administration is pursuing bilateral trade agreements with 17 major partners, excluding China.
The S&amp;P 500 climbed 0.4%, putting it on track for a sixth consecutive gain—its longest winning streak since November 2024.
In the bond market, U.S. Treasuries extended their rally, with yields falling for a sixth straight session. The yield on the 10-year benchmark dropped to 4.17%, marking a two-week low.
Gold prices slipped 0.6% to $3,325 per ounce, while WTI crude oil futures fell 2.4% to $60 per barrel, the lowest level in two weeks. Oil prices are under pressure from escalating global trade tensions and weaker U.S. economic data, and crude is now on track for a 15% decline in April—its steepest monthly drop since 2021.
Bitcoin traded little changed, around $95,000.

Insights From Analysts:
Analysts are rather upbeat going into this earnings week, with several leading experts pointing towards optimistic consensus estimates as a sign that the markets are yet to price in a recession or even a slowdown, for that matter, according <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/4aa1d7d7-4162-4e25-a6d6-a174a9626681">to</a> a report by FT. 
According to Daniel Von Ahlen of TS Lombard, &#8220;The information derived from risk assets doesn't even suggest markets reckon a mild slowdown will take shape this year.&#8221;
Peter Berezin, a chief global strategist at BCA Research, says that &#8220;typically earnings estimates decline during even mild recessions,&#8221; but the markets are now pricing a 10% earnings growth over the next twelve months, and that&#8217;s of &#8220;last year's peak profit margins no less,&#8221; he says.
