President Trump’s announcement of aggressive tariffs has sent shockwaves through global financial markets, causing massive losses. The S&P 500 plummeted by 4.84%, wiping out $2.4 trillion in market value in just one day, marking the largest drop since the 2020 COVID-19 crash. The dollar has fallen to a six-month low, with investors fleeing to safe-haven assets like gold and Swiss francs. Global markets have reacted with fear, with Japan’s Nikkei and the MSCI Asia-Pacific indices suffering significant losses. This marks a dangerous turn toward economic uncertainty, and experts warn of a looming global recession. Amid the chaos, the U.S. Federal Reserve is expected to cut interest rates, but inflation fears complicate matters. As tariffs strain international trade and raise costs, the world faces the threat of a financial disaster. The full consequences of Trump's protectionist policies remain to be seen, but the future is increasingly uncertain.
