Summary
Donald Trump announced new tariffs against China, Mexico, and Canada, sparking market turmoil as the measures were set to begin this weekend.
Following the announcement, major indices plunged, with the Dow Jones, NASDAQ, and S&P 500 suffering significant losses, reflecting investor anxiety across global markets.
Canada, Mexico, and China vowed retaliatory tariffs, with officials warning that these measures could escalate trade conflicts and significantly harm economic stability.
Critics argue the tariffs will harm consumers and businesses, creating global trade uncertainty and risking prolonged economic challenges in the United States.
Going down less than one percent is the opposite of a ‘plummet.’ It is literally indistinguishable from a normal daily fluctuation.
Furthermore, the market has overall gone up since.
OK but they did fall rapidly, and one can only surmise it’s because of the announcement of more tariffs.
