The wave of new decisions by Trump has caused uncertainty to business, consumers and investors, especially through customs disputes with Canada, Mexico and China.
In the US, the stock market lost $ 4 trillion from the peak values of the S&P 500 last month, as President Donald Trump's trade policy frightened investors with a probable economic downturn. It is noted that the wave of new decisions by Trump has caused uncertainty to business, consumers and investors, especially through customs disputes with Canada, Mexico and China.
From the record of February 19, the S&P 500 has already lost 8.6%, and a 10% fall will indicate an official market correction. NASDAQ technological drops more than 10% of December.
The sale of shares has intensified on March 10: the S&P 500 index fell by 2.7% - this is the most daily fall this year. NASDAQ has lost 4%, which became its worst indicator since September 2022.
After two years of rapid growth, the stock market began to book. Leaders of previous years, such as Nvidia and Tesla, suffered losses in 2025, pulling the main indices.
On Monday, the S&P 500 technological sector fell by 4.3%, Apple and Nvidia stocks fell by 5%, and Tesla lost 15%, losing $ 125 billion in market value.
The fall also affected other risky assets - the bitcoin fell by 5%. At the same time, protective sectors, such as utilities, showed better dynamics, and US State Boards were in high demand-the profitability of 10-year bonds decreased to 4.22%.
Trump refused to predict whether the US could be in recession, despite the concern of investors through its trade policy.
“Tariff wars with Canada, Mexico and Europe have created such uncertainty that companies are forced to review their plans. Tension with China can still be understood, but conflict with Canada and Europe is surprising. If this is not resolved in the near future, the US economic prospects may be affected, ”said Lazard CEO Peter Orszag.
Investors also carefully monitor whether Congress will be able to approve the budget and avoid partial closure of the government. On March 12, an important report on inflation will be published.
“The Trump administration seems to be ready to allow the market to fall or even a recession for the sake of achieving its goals. This is a serious signal for Vhl-Street, ”said Baird's investment strategist Ross Mifield.
