New York, April 5, 2025 – The U.S. stock market suffered a dramatic plunge of over 5% in a single day, driven by mounting fears of a recession sparked by escalating trade tariffs under the Trump 2.0 administration. The aggressive tariff policies, particularly targeting China and other major trading partners, have rattled investor confidence and disrupted global supply chains, prompting widespread sell-offs across sectors.
Since the return of Donald Trump to the presidency, an estimated USD 9 trillion has been wiped out from U.S. markets, raising alarm bells among economists and financial analysts. Key indices such as the Dow Jones, Nasdaq, and S&P 500 saw their sharpest declines in recent months. Analysts warn that unless trade tensions ease or fiscal policies adjust, the U.S. economy could face prolonged volatility and economic contraction.
