The financial markets are reacting negatively to President Trump's recent tariffs on multiple nations, causing US stocks to open at a record low. The S&P 500 index dropped 1.7%, reflecting investor concerns over potential trade wars. Global repercussions are evident, with sharp declines in European stocks and Asian markets. While Trump acknowledges short-term pain, he insists on a long-term strategy against perceived unfair trade practices. Analysts predict further volatility as global markets brace for Trump's impending tariffs on the EU and possibly the UK, indicating widespread economic impacts.
European stocks are expected to open sharply lower, and we expect the most severe declines for cyclical stocks and for the big exporters.
The US President has imposed tariffs on Mexico, China and Canada and Trump has threatened to expand tariffs to the European Union also.
