In the first days of April 2025, the US stock market survived the most significant fall in recent years, losing about $ 6.6 trillion. The reason for this was US President Donald Trump, large -scale global tariffs, which were much higher than the forecasts of economists and market expectations.
Investors were not ready for a situation that led to mass sales on stock exchanges and a sharp decrease in stock quotes. The pressure on the financial markets is increasing, and now more investors are demanding from the Trump administration either to reduce planned duties, or to make progress in negotiations that can mitigate the consequences of this policy.
Analysts warn that the continuation of the Trade War and the increase in duties can have serious consequences for the US economy, in particular for the technological sector. Technological companies that are often dependent on international deliveries and production chains can suffer significant losses, which increases the likelihood of recession and the completion of market growth.
According to the trading results, the S&P 500 index fell by 5.97%, which has become the largest fall since the first time of George Bush Jr.'s presidency. The Russell 2000 index, which reflects the situation in the market of small companies, has decreased by 4.37%, which has become the worst start of the new presidential term in recent years.
One of the biggest falls was the fall of the Dow Jones index by 11.9%, and the S&P 500 and NASDAQ decreased by 15.4% and 22%, respectively, entering the "bear" area together with Russell 2000. The forecasts for the future remain uncertain, and experts continue to monitor the development of the US.
