The latest tariff news over the weekend had to do with the movie industry. President Trump authorized the Department of Commerce and the USTR to immediately begin the process of instituting 100% tariff on any and all foreign movies coming into the US. While many wondered how exactly that would look given the state of streaming nowadays, it still made a negative impact on Netflix (NFLX) Monday morning.
The stock gapped down to open the day at $1,114.80, getting as low as $1,107.01. The stock was bid most of the day, closing $10 off its high for the day at $1,134.06. Netflix has been on a tear lately after testing its 200-day, dipping to $821.10 on Monday, April 7th before finding a bid. Earnings helped it along as well.
