In the Day After Of the duties of Trump, the financial markets were affected by one of the worst days since 2020. The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost almost 1,700 points, while the S&P 500 fell by almost 5% and the Nasdaq recorded a 6% drop. The collapse follows the new duties imposed by President Trump, known as “Liberation Day Tariffs”. These include a basic rate of 10% for all commercial partners and additional rates much higher for the so -called “Male Actors”.
Crescent pressure on investors
“To the many investors who come to the United States and invest huge quantities of money: my policies will never change,” he wrote Trump on its social networks. “This is a great moment to become rich, rich as never before.”
Many companies have suffered a blow. Apple has lost more than 9% due to dependence on Chinese production, while other important technological companies, such as Nvidia, have recorded significant drops. The Small Companies sector has particularly affected tax changes, with the Russell 2000 index on a strong decline.
Political reactions were not lacking. Trump, through his profile on Truth Social, has reaffirmed his position saying that “Policies will not change“At the same time, some analysts fear that this rigidity can further feed the spiral of commercial retaliation by the states affected by the duties. But the appearance is that The Donald intends to treat, as he has repeatedly hinted. Today, to say, he said he had had a” very profitable phone call with to Lam “, general secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam, who” told me that Vietnam He wants to reduce his rates to zero If he manages to find an agreement with the United States. “In another declaration, the Tycoon added:“ All countries are calling us. We took the command: if we had asked these countries to make us a favor, they would have said no. Now, however, they would do anything for us. The duties give us a great power to negotiate“.
