Walmart executives are confident that the world’s largest retailer will reach its financial targets this year, despite tariff turbulence that’s sparking uncertainty in the world economy. On Wednesday, Walmart said that it still sees net sales growing 3% to 4% this year. That forecast accounts for tariffs, unlike its previous outlook from February.

- United States Steel (X) shares tumbled as much as 16% in post-market trading after President Donald Trump said he does not want to see the steelmaker owned by a Japanese company.

He also said he doesn’t want US Steel bought by “any other place,” apparently referring to other foreign buyers.
