What Happened?

Shares of financial technology company Enova International (NYSE: ENVA) fell 1.3% in the afternoon session after the major indices continued to retreat (Nasdaq -1.5%, S&P 500 -1.2%) amid profit-taking and renewed concerns about tariffs. The negative mood was driven by a court decision that ruled most of President Trump's tariffs illegal, creating market uncertainty even though they remain in place on appeal. 

Adding to the concerns, the latest US ISM Manufacturing PMI data came in at 48.7, slightly below the 49.0 consensus and indicating a continued contraction in the manufacturing sector. This economic weakness, combined with ongoing investor concerns about persistent inflation and the future of interest rate cuts, contributed to a general risk-off sentiment that pulled equities lower.
