It's finally happening. We are seeing enough of a sell off that I feel like my target for adding to new swing trades will work out on or around December 27. Major Market Indices on 6 Month Daily Charts versus the VIX (Fear Index) - Also included are the SOX/SMH and BKX because they are so important to the overall direction of the market. RSI (14) over 70 is overbought. Under 30 is oversold. Fear will generally be low while the market is moving steadily higher. Large spikes in the VIX often correspond with market bottoms. RtS

MW Arms frenzied stock rally continues as AI chase trumps valuation 8:12 PM ET 2/12/24 \| MarketWatch By Emily Bary Arm's explosive stock performance 'has the look and feel of a retail investor chase,' analyst says, with valuation falling to the wayside Shares of Nvidia Corp.(NVDA) are up 240% over the past year and shares of Super Micro Computer Inc. (SMCI) are ahead 760%. With moves like that, investors seem eager to get in on whatever could be the next blowout play on the artificial-intelligence trend. And judging by the explosive moves in Arm Holdings PLC's stock (ARM) over recent days, Wall Street may have pegged the chip designer as that next big winner. The stock gained 29% in Monday's session and has nearly doubled since the company posted earnings after last Wednesday's closing bell. While Arm's latest results and guidance were "very impressive," in the view of Mizuho desk-based analyst Jordan Klein, they don't explain a rally of this magnitude. See more on earnings: Arm's stock explodes 50% higher as company proves itself an early AI winner Rather, the recent action in Arm shares has "has the look and feel of a retail-investor chase," Klein told MarketWatch in an email, as investors see Arm as "a way bigger play on AI" than they had previously, and as they rush to get in on the action. The semiconductor sector in general has seen "money coming in from all over" lately as investors seek out the "next key enabler for AI," he continued. Earnings expectations for Arm have come up in the wake of the latest report, and analysts tracked by FactSet now model $1.49 in adjusted earnings per share for fiscal 2025, which ends next March. That compares with a consensus estimate of $1.36 as of late January. But Arm's stock price has seen a far bigger increase, such that Arm shares now trade at 100 times estimated fiscal 2025 earnings per share. "Now you have valuation being ignored," Klein told MarketWatch. Plus, Arm has minimal float, he noted, as Softbank owns 90% of shares.

I am not quite sure how I managed to overlook having ARM in my Yahoo semiconductor stocks list but it is there now. Down over 13% so far today: finance.yahoo.com I personally have been hoping for some selling so I can get back into stocks at more reasonable valuations. Artificial Intelligence is going to make some stocks real long term winners but lately it seems like the MEME craze all over again. Pick a stock with a low float and entice small investors to chase the stock as it rises. Someone gets left holding the bag when it drops, RtS

The SOX is setting new highs again today. Tomorrow we finish out the quarter with the reports of AVGO and MRVL. The table below shows that only six stocks out of the over 30 I share here have so far raised guidance. Will either or both AVGO and MRVL raise guidance? Tune in tomorrow!

Closing Market Update Stocks Extend Gains on Strong Economic Data Stocks moved broadly higher on stronger-than-expected economic data and earnings from the chip sector. (Thursday market close) After notching new highs in the wake of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting Wednesday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average® ($DJI), S&P 500® index (SPX), and Nasdaq Composite® ($COMP) extended gains on the heels of stronger-than-expected economic data Thursday. The Conference Board's December Leading Economic Index® (LEI) snapped a streak of more than 20 monthly declines and exceeded economist estimates after rising 0.1% in February. A 0.2% decline was expected, according to a consensus forecast from Briefing.com. Reports on Initial Jobless Claims, Existing Home Sales, and manufacturing also topped expectations. Meanwhile, chip stocks were in the spotlight Thursday after Micron Technology (MU) delivered results that topped analyst estimates, sending shares 14.1% higher. Intel (INTC) gained 0.5%, Nvidia (NVDA) rose 1.1%, and the PHLX Semiconductor Index (SOX) gained 2.3%. "Stocks continue to 'melt up' into all-time high territory following Powell's commentary and the Fed's outlook for three rate cuts this year, despite higher inflation and GDP forecasts," said Nathan Peterson, director of derivatives analysis at the Schwab Center for Financial Research. "The timing and number of rate cuts is still in flux and data-dependent, however," he added. "Investors seem to be ok with 'sticky' inflation for now, provided the economy remains firm and investors continue believing the Fed 'intends' to cut rates down the road." Here's where the major benchmarks ended: The S&P 500 index added 16.91 points (0.3%) to 5,241.53; the Dow Jones Industrial Average surged 269.24 points (0.7%) to 39,781.37; the Nasdaq Composite rose 32.43 points (0.2%) to 16,401.84. The 10-year Treasury note yield (TNX) was flat at 4.27%. The Cboe Volatility Index® (VIX) dropped 0.11 to 12.93. Industrials, financials, and energy stocks were among the strongest sectors. Utilities and communication services finished modestly lower. Apple (AAPL) was the biggest loser in the Dow Jones Industrial Average, falling 4.1% on reports the Justice Department filed an antitrust lawsuit against the company. Other widely held stocks were mostly higher: Microsoft (MSFT) added 1%, Meta Platforms (META) gained 0.4%, and Amazon (AMZN) was unchanged on the day. Stocks on the move The following companies had stock price moves driven by analyst ratings, quarterly results, or other news: Darden Restaurants (DRI) slipped 6.5% after the company reported a decline in same-store sales. Five Below (FIVE) lost 15.4% after earnings fell short of analyst estimates. Reddit (RDDT), which had an initial public offering (IPO) priced at $34 per share, jumped to $50.44 on its first day of trading Thursday. Accenture (ACN)dropped 9.3% after releasing earnings and lowering its full-year outlook for 2024. Super Micro Computer (SMCI) notched 8.4% higher to snap a five-day 24.5% skid amid broader gains in the chip sector after Micron Technology's results. FedEx (FDX), Nike (NKE), and lululemon athletica (LULU) are among the companies reporting after the closing bell Thursday. Eyeing the economic calendar The Labor Department reported Initial Jobless Claims of 210,000 for the week that ended March 16, down from 212,000 the previous week. Expectations were for an increase to 216,000. The Philadelphia Fed Index, a gauge of regional manufacturing activity, came in at a better-than-expected 3.2, and the U.S. Manufacturing PMI®rose to 52.5 in March, which was slightly above expectations. Lastly, Existing Home Sales jumped to 4.38 million in March, well above economist estimates of 3.9 million. The strong numbers follow better-than-expected housing starts and homebuilder sentiment numbers released earlier in the week. Thursday's data didn't seem to have much impact on rate expectations. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note was little changed near 4.27%, and the CME FedWatch Tool now shows a 63.5% chance of a quarter-point cut in June, down slightly from 67% Wednesday. Beyond the handful of earnings due after the closing bell Thursday, there's not much on the calendar to guide trading until a report on New Home Sales is released Monday morning. Because next Friday is an exchange holiday, just five trading days remain in the first quarter, and starting next week, many investors will review their portfolios and asset allocations before the second quarter begins. So far this year, the S&P 500 index has surged 10%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average has added 5.7%, and the Nasdaq Composite has climbed 9.3%. The S&P 500's 20 record closes so far this year rank as the sixth highest for a first quarter since World War II, according to Sam Stovall, chief investment strategist at CFRA. In both 2013 and 1998, the index posted 25 record closes in the first quarter.

Dow Jones Futures: Stock Market Strong But Inflation Sticky; Will Nvidia AI Chip Peer Forge A Base? investors.com Dow Jones futures will open on Sunday evening, with U.S. markets closed Friday. The Federal Reserve's favorite inflation report was largely in line, with Fed chief Jerome Powell sounding pleased with Friday's data. The stock market rally enjoyed a solid, holiday-shortened week. Growth stocks, especially AI leaders such as Nvidia ( NVDA), fell back somewhat, though they generally held above support. The market showed strength shrugging that off, with robust breadth. Small caps led with strong gains, with the Dow Jones and S&P 500 right at record highs. The Nasdaq edged lower as many tech giants retreated. Nvidia needs more time, but Microsoft ( MSFT), Meta Platforms ( META) and CrowdStrike ( CRWD) are tech leaders pulling back bullishly. Meanwhile, new AI chip IPO Astera Labs ( ALAB) is pulling back from Tuesday's record high. A continued pause in Nvidia stock and AI plays could let ALAB stock forge a short IPO base. Meanwhile, China EV makers Nio ( NIO), Li Auto ( LI) and XPeng ( XPEV) are due to report March and first-quarter deliveries early Monday, April 1. EV giant BYD ( BYDDF) should report a big rebound in March, either on Monday or Tuesday. Tesla ( TSLA) will likely release first-quarter deliveries on Tuesday. Expectations are low for Tesla while Nio and especially Li Auto cut delivery targets in recent days. Nvidia and META stock are on IBD Leaderboard. Microsoft stock is on the IBD Long-Term Leaders list. Nvidia, Meta Platforms and CrowdStrike stock are on the IBD 50 list. PCE Inflation The February PCE price index rose 0.3% vs. January, the Commerce Department reported Friday, just below views for a 0.4% rise. January's PCE gain was revised up to a 0.4% rise. PCE inflation came in at 2.5% vs. a year earlier, in line and just above January's 2.4%. The core PCE price index, the Fed's top inflation gauge, advanced 0.3% vs. January as expected, with the unrounded figure at 0.26%. January's reading was revised to a 0.5% gain. Core PCE inflation came in at 2.8% vs. a year earlier, meeting estimates and down from an upwardly revised 2.9% in January. Inflation has proved sticky in recent months, making the Federal Reserve less eager to reduce interest rates. However, the relatively in-line PCE inflation report should keep a June Fed rate cut in play. The odds of a June Fed rate cut were about 64% on Thursday. Fed chief Jerome Powell on Friday said it was "good" that there were no ugly surprises in the PCE data. He reiterated that policymakers want to be more confident before cutting rates. He noted that cutting rates too soon could be "very disruptive," but he also said waiting too long could mean "unneeded damage to the economy and the labor market." Investors won't get a chance to respond until Dow Jones futures open Sunday evening, with the real test coming Monday. The PCE inflation data came as part of the income and spending report. Personal income grew 0.3%, shy of 0.4% forecasts. Consumer spending popped 0.8% vs. views for 0.5%. Dow Jones Futures Today Dow Jones futures will open at 6 p.m. ET Sunday, along with S&P 500 futures and Nasdaq 100 futures. U.S. markets are not trading Friday in observance of the Good Friday holiday. European markets and Hong Kong also were closed Friday and will remain shut on Easter Monday. Remember that overnight action in Dow futures and elsewhere doesn't necessarily translate into actual trading in the next regular stock market session. Join IBD experts as they analyze leading stocks and the market on IBD Live Stock Market Rally The stock market rally saw modest-to-strong weekly gains outside of some growth plays. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.8% in weekly stock market trading, setting a record close Thursday. The S&P 500 index gained 0.4%, just setting an intraday all-time high Thursday. The Nasdaq composite dipped 0.3%, just below peaks. For the quarter, the Dow gained 5.6%, the S&P 500 jumped 10.2% and the Nasdaq leapt 9.1%. Market breadth was impressive during the week. The small-cap Russell 2000 jumped 2.5%, hitting a two-year high. The Invesco S&P 500 Equal Weight ETF ( RSP) gained 1.6%, setting a record high. The First Trust Nasdaq 100 Equal Weighted Index ETF ( QQEW) rose 0.4% vs. the Nasdaq 100's 0.5% slide. The 10-year Treasury yield fell 3 basis points to 4.19% for the week, dipping below the 200-day line. U.S. crude oil futures climbed 3.15% to $83.15 a barrel last week, surging 16.1% in the first quarter. ETFs Among growth ETFs, the iShares Expanded Tech-Software Sector ETF ( IGV) fell 0.8% for the week. Microsoft stock is a huge holding, with CrowdStrike also in IGV. The VanEck Vectors Semiconductor ETF ( SMH) retreated 1.2%. But these were inside weeks, giving up just a portion of the prior week's strong gains. Reflecting more-speculative story stocks, ARK Innovation ETF ( ARKK) climbed 1.3% last week and ARK Genomics ETF ( ARKG) advanced 2.1%. Tesla stock is a major holding across Ark Invest's ETFs. The Industrial Select Sector SPDR Fund ( XLI) edged up 0.6%, the Financial Select SPDR ETF ( XLF) rose 1.7% and SPDR S&P Homebuilders ETF ( XHB) climbed 1.2%, all to record highs. SPDR S&P Metals & Mining ETF ( XME) jumped 4% last week. U.S. Global Jets ETF ( JETS) ascended 3.3%, both to a multimonth best. The Energy Select SPDR ETF ( XLE) gained 2.15% to a 52-week high. The Health Care Select Sector SPDR Fund ( XLV) rose to 1.6%, just below all-time high levels. Time The Market With IBD's ETF Market Strategy Nvidia Stock Nvidia stock fell 4.2% this week to 903.56, ending a 92% run in an 11-week win streak. Shares haven't tested their 21-day moving average and are trading within a three-week range. After such a strong run, it makes sense for Nvidia to consolidate for a while. A new base could come in a couple of weeks, but NVDA stock could pause for an extended time, as it did for several months in late 2023. Many other AI stocks may take their cue from Nvidia, especially chip plays. Longer pauses to forge bases and let moving averages catch up would be constructive. Astera Labs Stock Astera Labs came public at 36, soaring 72% in its March 20 debut. The AI chip IPO spiked to 95.21 on Tuesday before reversing lower. ALAB stock has continued to pull back. Shares rose 5.9% to 74.15 for the week. It's usually a good idea to wait for an IPO stock to find its footing and forge some sort of consolidation over a few weeks. An IPO base can be very short, as little as two weeks and perhaps unofficially a couple days shorter than that. But they often form over several weeks, depending on market conditions. IPO bases can deliver powerful returns. Astera Labs enjoys rapid revenue growth from a relatively low base. It lost money in 2023, but is expected to turn a profit in 2024 with continued strong earnings growth in 2025. Will Reddit Unplug The Bulging U.S. IPO Pipeline? Stocks Near Buy Points Microsoft stock is on a five-session losing streak, but the losses have been slim and the volume very light. Shares have drifted just below a 420.82 buy point, but are holding above the 21-day line. A rebound would be actionable. Meta stock fell 4.7% to 485.58 last week, but on anemic volume. Shares fell slightly below the 21-day line. Shares are pulling back toward a fast-rising 10-week line, which might be roughly even with Meta on Monday. That would be the first real 10-week line test of 2024. A rebound from that level would offer a buying opportunity. Meta stock also could have a new base in a couple weeks. CrowdStrike stock fell 2.1% to 320.59 in the latest week, finding support around the 21-day and 10-week lines. The cybersecurity leader has a messy consolidation, but investors could use a draw-the-line buy point around 338.45, or possibly use Wednesday's high of 333.84 as an early entry. In truth, a number of software stocks are hovering near support levels and possible entries. Those include CrowdStrike peer CyberArk Software ( CYBR) as well as Cloudflare ( NET), Monday.com ( MNDY), ServiceNow ( NOW) and HubSpot ( HUBS). Catch The Next Big Winning Stock With MarketSurge Tesla Stock Tesla stock rose 2.9% last week to 175.70, though it hit resistance at the 10-week line. Bulls are pinning hopes that Full Self-Driving will show big improvements, with CEO Elon Musk mandating FSD test drives before new purchases or after service visits. But in the short term, analysts continue to slash Tesla earnings and delivery estimates. That's largely due to weak EV demand generally. In China, competition continues to heat up, with smartphone maker Xiaomi making a big entry into the EV market Thursday. Tesla will release first-quarter production and delivery numbers on Tuesday, April 2, with Q1 earnings later in the month. What To Do Now The stock market rally appears to be broadening out and rotating in a constructive way. While this story generally looked at tech names, investors can find actionable or promising stocks in the housing, financial, medical, travel and consumer sectors. Eli Lilly ( LLY), Medpace ( MEDP), Uber Technologies ( UBER), ELF Beauty ( ELF), Nextracker ( NXT), XP ( XP), Royal Caribbean ( RCL), East West Bancorp ( EWBC), Axon Enterprise ( AXON), On Holding ( ONON), M/I Homes ( MHO) and Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway ( BRKB) are just a few. It's possible that tech growth leaders like Nvidia, Microsoft and Meta will consolidate for an extended period. So cast a wide net, adding promising names to your watchlists. Use the long weekend to run your screens and do some research on some specific targets. Don't forget defense. Several leading stocks flashed sell signals for recent buyers this past week. While a number of stocks are setting up or pulling back in seemingly bullish fashion, it wouldn't take much selling to start looking a lot worse.

US inflation rises in line with expectations in March finance.yahoo.com Reuters Fri, Apr 26, 2024, 6:42 AM MDT2 min read WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. inflation rose moderately in March, but that is unlikely to change financial markets' expectations that the Federal Reserve will hold off cutting interest rates until September. The personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index increased 0.3% last month, the Commerce Department's Bureau of Economic Analysis said on Friday. Data for February was unrevised to show the PCE price index gaining 0.3% as previously reported. In the 12 months through March, inflation rose 2.7% after advancing 2.5% in February. Economists polled by Reuters had forecast the PCE price index climbing 0.3% on the month and increasing 2.6% year-on-year. The PCE price index is one of the inflation measures tracked by the U.S. central bank for its 2% target. Monthly inflation readings of 0.2% over time are necessary to bring inflation back to target. There had been fears that inflation could exceed forecasts in March after the advance gross domestic product (GDP) report for the first quarter on Thursday showed price pressures heating up by the most in a year, driven by surging costs for services, especially transportation, financial services and insurance. These more than offset a drop in the prices of goods. Most of the resurgence in inflation appears to have been in the first two months of the year. Fed officials are expected to leave rates unchanged next week. The central bank has kept its benchmark overnight interest rate in the 5.25%-5.50% range since July. It has raised the policy rate by 525 basis points since March 2022. Financial markets initially expected the first rate cut to come in March, which then got pushed back to June and now to September as data on the labor market and inflation continued to surprise on the upside this year.

NVIDIA Announces Financial Results for First Quarter Fiscal 2025 -- Record quarterly revenue of $26.0 billion, up 18% from Q4 and up 262% from a year ago -- Record quarterly Data Center revenue of $22.6 billion, up 23% from Q4 and up 427% from a year ago -- Ten-for-one forward stock split effective June 7, 2024 -- Quarterly cash dividend raised 150% to $0.01 per share on a post-split basis SANTA CLARA, Calif., May 22, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA) today reported revenue for the first quarter ended April 28, 2024, of $26.0 billion, up 18% from the previous quarter and up 262% from a year ago. For the quarter, GAAP earnings per diluted share was $5.98, up 21% from the previous quarter and up 629% from a year ago. Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share was $6.12, up 19% from the previous quarter and up 461% from a year ago. "The next industrial revolution has begun -- companies and countries are partnering with NVIDIA to shift the trillion-dollar traditional data centers to accelerated computing and build a new type of data center -- AI factories -- to produce a new commodity: artificial intelligence," said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. "AI will bring significant productivity gains to nearly every industry and help companies be more cost- and energy-efficient, while expanding revenue opportunities. "Our data center growth was fueled by strong and accelerating demand for generative AI training and inference on the Hopper platform. Beyond cloud service providers, generative AI has expanded to consumer internet companies, and enterprise, sovereign AI, automotive and healthcare customers, creating multiple multibillion-dollar vertical markets. "We are poised for our next wave of growth. The Blackwell platform is in full production and forms the foundation for trillion-parameter-scale generative AI. Spectrum-X opens a brand-new market for us to bring large-scale AI to Ethernet-only data centers. And NVIDIA NIM is our new software offering that delivers enterprise-grade, optimized generative AI to run on CUDA everywhere -- from the cloud to on-prem data centers and RTX AI PCs -- through our expansive network of ecosystem partners." NVIDIA also announced a ten-for-one forward stock split of NVIDIA's issued common stock to make stock ownership more accessible to employees and investors. The split will be effected through an amendment to NVIDIA's Restated Certificate of Incorporation, which will result in a proportionate increase in the number of shares of authorized common stock. Each record holder of common stock as of the close of market on Thursday, June 6, 2024, will receive nine additional shares of common stock, to be distributed after the close of market on Friday, June 7, 2024. Trading is expected to commence on a split-adjusted basis at market open on Monday, June 10, 2024. NVIDIA is increasing its quarterly cash dividend by 150% from $0.04 per share to $0.10 per share of common stock. The increased dividend is equivalent to $0.01 per share on a post-split basis and will be paid on Friday, June 28, 2024, to all shareholders of record on Tuesday, June 11, 2024.

A US trade court just blocked a wide swath of Trump's tariffs. Here are the duties that may be impacted. finance.yahoo.com A startling decision Wednesday from the United States Court of International Trade appeared to put at least a temporary pause on many of President Trump's wide-ranging tariffs. The Manhattan-based trade court ruled in an opinion issued by a three-judge panel that a key 1977 law called the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) does not give Trump "unbounded" authority to issue the worldwide and retaliatory tariffs the president has imposed by executive order in recent months. Many of the president's actions "exceed any authority granted to the President by IEEPA to regulate importation by means of tariffs," read the decision, which blocked imposition of some of Trump’ tariffs and invalidated the president’s orders. The ruling applies to a series of controversial actions that Trump has taken to impose tariffs on entire nations since taking office. The ruling is not expected to impact other actions he has taken focused on specific goods from automobiles to steel — which rely on a different legal authority. The White House immediately reacted to the news, with spokesman Kush Desai saying in a statement that "it is not for unelected judges to decide how to properly address a national emergency." Late Wednesday, the administration filed a notice with the court stating that it planned to appeal the decision. Meanwhile, some of those who brought the cases celebrated. A law professor who helped bring the suit wrote a reaction online that suggested the legal wrangling will continue but said: “The bottom line is a major victory in the legal battle against these harmful and illegal tariffs.” The tariff orders were challenged by a New York liquor importer and several other American small businesses, as well as 11 state attorneys general. With the Trump administration's plan to appeal, the matter will likely head to the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, which has jurisdiction over international trade law disputes. The case could eventually reach the Supreme Court. Which tariffs are at issue The decision's focus on IEEPA immediately throws into doubt some of the most far-reaching of Trump's tariff actions since taking office. Most notably, those include his "Liberation Day" tariffs of 10% on nearly the entire world, as well as the current threat of higher tariffs on countries that fail to reach a deal during his 90-day pause. The president has also relied on IEEPA to impose duties on nations such as Mexico, Canada, and China, claiming that the nations’ failure to curb the flow of illegal drugs and migration into the US threatened US national security. The law was also the authority Trump planned to use when threatening, before deferring, on possible tariffs on Colombia. The White House doubled down on its national security claim on Wednesday evening. "Foreign countries' nonreciprocal treatment of the Unites States has fueled America's historic and persistent trade deficits," said Desai, the White House spokesman. "These deficits have created a national emergency that has decimated American communities, left our workers behind, and weakened our defense industrial base – facts that the court did not dispute." Duties based on other laws like those Trump has imposed on certain aluminum and steel products are not included in the court’s decision. Recent duties on automobiles imposed by the president use so-called Section 232 tariff authority derived from a separate law called the Trade Expansion Act of 1962. The tariffs on steel and aluminum also rely on Section 232. Other sector-specific tariffs from Trump's first term — and from President Biden's time in office — also often relied on another tariff authority derived from Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974. A focus on a 1977 lawThe ruling was immediately celebrated by some of Trump’s critics in Washington. Senator Ron Wyden of Oregon said in a statement that he "argued from the start that Donald Trump’s claim that he could simply decree sky-high new taxes on imported goods depended on mangling the Constitution beyond recognition.” Oregon was one of the states that brought suit against the Trump administration. “I have no doubt the legal wrangling will continue, but I’m committed to retaking Congress’s authority over trade for good and shutting down Trump’s ability to unilaterally declare trade war with the world," Wyden said. The International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977 (IEEPA) says that during a national emergency, the president, in order to respond to an "unusual and extraordinary threat" from abroad, can regulate economic transactions, including imports. Congress passed the IEEPA to restrict presidents from overstepping a 1917 World War I-era law known as the Trading With the Enemy Act (TWEA). The act, which regulates US transactions with enemy powers, allowed the president to exercise broad economic power during wartime and during national emergencies. In this case, the trade court ruled that because the Constitution expressly allocates tariff power to Congress, IEEPA does not delegate "unbounded" tariff authority to the President. Instead, IEEPA's provisions impose "meaningful limits" on the authority that IEEPA confers, the panel said. The court also said the president's tariffs fell short of meeting the IEEPA's requirements because the duties do not address "an unusual and extraordinary threat" to national security.
