Stocks have fallen recently due to President Trump’s fluctuating stance on tariffs and widening concerns about the U.S. economy. As the S&P 500 entered correction territory, dropping over 10% since its peak, investors have shifted from viewing tariff threats as negotiation tactics to recognizing real risks. This correction marks the 13th such instance since 2000, with a notable decline in technology stocks. Historical context reveals that while some corrections are short-lived, others can evolve into prolonged bear markets affecting stock values significantly.
Uncertainty about which tariffs will ultimately be imposed and their potential economic effects has jolted markets around the world.
The sell-off pushed the S&P 500 stock index into a correction, a Wall Street term for a significant decline from a recent high.
Investors, who previously thought Mr. Trump's more extreme tariff threats were mostly a negotiating tool, have started to worry that they may have been too blase about the risks.
This is the 13th correction in the S&P 500 since the turn of the century, according to data from Yardeni Research.
