CNBC Daily Open: Supreme Court might not have last word on Trump tariffs

The U.S. Supreme Court heard a case on the Trump administration's 'reciprocal' tariffs and appeared skeptical of their legality. Traders now predict only a 25% chance that the tariffs will hold. U.S. stocks rose after the hearing, but the end of tariffs may not be an unequivocal win for stocks as it could lead to increased Treasury yields and more debt for the U.S. government. Meanwhile, Trump could invoke other executive powers to reinstate tariffs, causing further unpredictability. Other market news includes Chinese robotaxi firms Pony.ai and WeRide dropping on their first day of trading in Hong Kong, Snap beating revenue expectations and lifting guidance, and Bitcoin 'whales' potentially selling, which could impact the cryptocurrency's price.
