Nordstrom stock gains over 4 percent after Trump tweet

Nordstrom’s stock went up by more than 4 percent Wednesday after President Trump fired off a tweet criticizing it for discontinuing Ivanka Trump’s brands of clothing and other merchandise.

Nordstrom’s stock dipped -0.5 percent immediately after Trump’s morning tweet calling it “terrible” for treating his daughter, Ivanka, “so unfairly.”

However, the stock fully recovered within four minutes, and closed out the day up 4.1 percent, MarketWatch reported. 

My daughter Ivanka has been treated so unfairly by @Nordstrom. She is a great person — always pushing me to do the right thing! Terrible!

Trump targeted Nordstrom after the company announced it would no longer carry Ivanka’s merchandise. Ivanka’s husband is a senior adviser to the president.

Nordstrom responded to Trump’s tweet on Wednesday, saying the decision base don how the brand was performing at the stores and that it has “thousands of brands.”
