Trump’s Auto Tariffs Sink Stocks, OpenAI Close to Finalizing $40B in Funds | The Opening Trade 03/27

/ 3 days ago March 27, 2025

From Bloomberg Markets and Finance.

European stocks fell as the US pushed ahead with harsh tariffs on automakers and threatened more sweeping trade levies, reinforcing investor concern about the hit to global economic growth. OpenAI is close to finalizing a $40 billion funding round led by SoftBank Group Corp. with other investors participating. The funding round would value the company at $300 billion and be the largest of all time, with SoftBank investing an initial $7.5 billion and a second tranche of $30 billion later this year.
