Trump, tariffs and Tesla: Stock exchange chaos in the USA! This is how it goes!

Trump, tariffs and Tesla: Stock exchange chaos in the USA! This is how it goes!

The US exchanges are in a severe crisis that was triggered by the economic policy decisions of former President Donald Trump. Last week, Wall Street experienced its worst day since 2022, while the S&P 500 broke up by $ 4 trillion ($ 3,688.34 billion). The Nasdaq lost 100 3.81 percent on Monday, the S&P 500 fell by 2.70 percent, and the Dow Jones Industrial fell by 2.08 percent. Experts attribute these declines to the fear of an impending recession and the recently announced interest rate increases, as reports the news portal OE24.

A central factor behind this stock market quake are the drastic lifting inches threatened by Trump on Canadian steel and aluminum imports. These measures not only increase uncertainty among investors, but also burden the economic climate as a whole. The experienced market observer Benny Adler from Goldman Sachs has described the declining tendency of the markets as a result of the disappointing reality after the US elections, while JPMorgan indicate that there are currently no cheap entry opportunities. In addition, negative reports from the aviation and consumer industry burden the markets, so that Delta Airlines and American Airlines had to accept significant price losses, reports Investweek.

A particularly striking example is the electric car company Tesla, whose shares have fallen more than 50 percent since December. On Monday, the value dropped by over 15 percent, which corresponds to a loss of $ 130 billion. CEO Elon Musk, who occasionally acts as a consultant Trump, expressed his lack of understanding of the difficulties of combining both roles. Trump himself tried to set a positive sign by announcing that he would buy a new Tesla vehicle the next day to show his support for Musk, as OE24 announced. However, the overall picture remains dark and the markets are waiting for stability.
