Initial strength came on Wall Street after President Donald Trump announced a 100 percent tariff on imports of semiconductors and chips but said companies that are building in the United States would be exempt.

The Labor Department said initial jobless claims climbed to 226,000, an increase of 7,000 from the previous week's revised level of 219,000. Meanwhile, street had expected jobless claims to inch up to 221,000 from the 218,000 originally reported for the previous week.
