As Wall Street heads into a new quarter, a flurry of President Donald Trump’s tariffs are set to go into effect. That has traders on edge and has helped put US stocks in their worst first-quarter slump in years.
Wall Street has been rocked with volatility this year as Trump’s tariff proposals have kept investors in a cloud of uncertainty. The benchmark S&P 500 index is down 4.9% for the year, its worst start since 2022.
US stocks were mixed Monday as traders tried to stage an afternoon rally. The Dow was up by around 430 points, or 1%, reversing course after opening lower by about 300 points. The S&P 500 was up by 0.4% while the Nasdaq Composite slid 0.4%. The S&P 500 rebounded into the green in the afternoon after sliding as much as 1.7% this morning, briefly reentering correction territory and dropping to its lowest level since September.

They will stem the largest outflow of capital stock since the fall of the Roman Empire.
This country is hemorrhaging essential wealth daily.
It must stop, or we as a nation will cease to exist.
The Dow was so fed up, it went +417 today.
Did Wall St. complain in 2022?
And Trump and I don’t care. In fact, going through the inevitable pain early on is best.
CNN trying to make a rally into bad news. LOL!
My stock broker told me we were due for a correction this summer, tariffs or no tariffs.
Wow. Worst start since 2022! That’s almost a lifetime! Good job for pointing that out CNN!
They are trying to scar us. Trump won’t fall for it
This nasty negative meme about tariffs dragging down the stock market blew up the same day it was floated. I love it!
Don’t care.
$&#% Wall Street. They are getting their panties in a wad over their cheese being shared with the middle class. Investors make investments based on what they think will happen and Trump getting elected was not in their calculations. Later they also didn’t calculate that Trump woukd come in like Godzilla and start stomping all over the federal bureaucracy’s theft by NGO that feeds them huge amounts of taxpayer money.
Well said.
“don’t care”. I will add “Can’t MAKE me!”.
A stock sell off in the trillions over a tariff amounting to billions annually. THIS.MAKES.NO.SENSE.
Good! The fascist liberals won’t have any more “rich” to tax the hell out of. They’re going to have to start paying their own way. The Gravy Train has been knocked of the rails. The American Gravy train looks like the train in Mehico that has thousands of Mexican illegals stacked on it.
“Did Wall St. complain in 2022?”
That was my immediate reaction. Of course they didn’t, because their favorite vegetable was (allegedly) in charge.
The Dow was up and that’s a bad thing 😂😂
What was Wall Street fed up with in 2022?
