Good evening and welcome to Markets Desk, your end-of-day read on what's moving markets and the headlines behind them.
The most urgent story tonight comes from Washington, where President Trump was uninjured after a shooter opened fire outside the hotel hosting the White House Correspondents Dinner Saturday night. Top officials were evacuated from the ballroom. No injuries were immediately confirmed, though law enforcement is actively investigating the incident.
Shifting to a quieter but consequential threat, federal prosecutors have exposed a sophisticated North Korean IT fraud network that placed foreign workers inside more than one hundred American companies, including Fortune five hundred firms. A New Jersey man was sentenced to nine years in prison for running the operation, which generated billions in stolen wages funneled back to Pyongyang over three years.
And on the equity side, all eyes are turning to Alphabet ahead of its first-quarter earnings report due April twenty-ninth. The stock has been under pressure from tariff-driven risk-off sentiment and rising competition in AI search, making this report a critical test of whether ad revenue and cloud growth can hold the line for investors.
That's the tape.
