Marketchaos: Trump's trade war shocked and press the ATX!

Wien, Österreich - The start of trade on the Viennese stock exchanges was anything but gratifying. After the recent turbulence at the US markets, where the S&P 500 has shrunk by troubling $ 4 trillion ($ 3,688.34 billion), the local guiding index ATX also fell into the red. The trade war, which US President Donald Trump unleashed through tariffs, ensures massive uncertainty among investors and triggered a real sale on the stock markets, such as OE24 reported. The S&P 500 fell by 2.7 percent, while the Nasdaq Composite even had to accept a decline of 4 percent - the biggest daily losses since September 2022. The ATX opened with losses and noted at 4:194.26 points at around 10 a.m.

Despite the current red figures, the ATX was able to record an increase of 14.70 percent in the previous year of 2025, whereby it only moved just below its annual high of 4,335.19 points. The losers of the day included Do & Co, whose stocks fell by 1.14 percent to 199.20 euros, followed by CA Immobilien and Telekom Austria. On the positive side, Schoeller-Bleckmann stands out, with an increase of 2.20 percent, as the current merchant data prove. Raiffeisen's stock trading also proves to be a lively one, with the greatest trading volume in the ATX, while the first Group Bank with a market capitalization of 27.011 billion euros keeps the largest index content, as can be seen from the information from Blitzrechner

losses and winners at a glance

The current situation clearly shows how sensitive the markets react to external influences. The clear declines on the US market are reflected in the European indices and have an immediate impact on local companies. While Schoeller-Bleckmann and Wienerberger are on the winning side, many other stocks are fighting with significant losses. This market dynamics illustrate the uncertainty that is currently under the investors.
