news when you want it with Bloomberg News Now. I'm Amy Morris. There's your closing bell for this Monday on Wall Street where stocks fell and bonds rose over the impact of AI on profits and worries about tariff uncertainty. And of course, we bring you the closing numbers. We do that each day here at Bloomberg. The S&P 500 is down 72 points. NASDAQ down 259 points. The Dow Down 822 points. The 10-year Treasury yield at 4.02 percent. The two-year yield at 3.43 percent. IBM shares now 13 percent lower. That's its biggest drop since March of 2020 as the AI startup Anthropic says its Claude Code tool can help with modernizing COBOL, which is a dated programming language. Most of the mainframe computers that run COBOL are made by IBM.
IBM down nearly 30% off a P-Kit earlier this month. The stock now on track for its biggest one-month percentage drop since 1992.

For those who remember what happened then, it's something, it's both inflation, stagflation that we had, inflation, commodity-driven inflation, that is not easy to remedy with monetary policy.
Author and risk analyst Nassim Taleb at a Universa Investments event in Miami spoke exclusively to Bloomberg Businessweek Daily.

What factors are affecting stock market performance today?
There is still more to come. Snow is projected to linger through the afternoon with another 1.5 to 2.5 inches expected by 8 p.m. Wind gusts are expected to remain as high as 40 miles per hour into the evening.
Bloomberg meteorologist Rob Carolin.
The snowfall rates have been ridiculous, between 2 and 5 inches an hour. I'm seeing totals now east of Islip, Long Island, at around 27, 28 inches of snow. We've seen Providence, Rhode Island, get 2 feet of snow this morning. They may get over 28 inches of snow from this storm.
Bloomberg meteorologist Rob Carolin says this is a classic nor'easter, but more intense, bringing ferocious winds up to 80 miles per hour. The Supreme Court's decision to nix President Trump's reciprocal tariffs is throwing fresh confusion over global trade deals. Chairman Jason Smith of the House Ways and Means Committee tells Bloomberg the Supreme Court decision leaves tariffs effectively unchanged.
The Supreme Court decision is not going to affect the revenue that's coming in for the most part, because under federal trade statutes, the president is going to be able to levy his authority to implement virtually the same tariffs that were in place that the Supreme Court threw out.
But the European Union is poised to freeze the ratification process of its agreement with Washington. Bloomberg Intelligence senior analyst Nathan Dean tells Bloomberg Intelligence Republicans are starting to voice their own concerns.
