U.S. markets are experiencing volatility due to President Trump's tariff decisions, with the S&P 500 dropping into bear territory at a significant low before slight recoveries. The uncertainty surrounding potential tariff escalations or suspensions affects traders, reflected by the skyrocketing VIX fear gauge and a drastic plunge in global indexes. The past week saw a $6.6 trillion loss in the S&P 500, as experts express concerns over growth potential. As the market remains sensitive to bilateral trade discussions, any developments will amplify the fluctuations in stock performance.
"The S&P 500 hit bear territory-down 20% from its peak-before clawing back to 5214, before swinging lower, yet again with traders asking if it's 'Black Monday' 2.0."
"President Trump's Sunday take-'sometimes you have to take medicine'-isn't calming anyone. The VIX 'fear gauge' is jumping, currently sitting just below 50 and global markets are tanking."
"A year ago, the S&P 500 was at 501.98; now, it's down 14% year-to-date from 594.18 in February. Experts like JPMorgan's Jamie Dimon warn of growth risks."
"With the index teetering, any whisper of tariff suspensions or further escalations of tariff wars will magnify the movement of broad markets."
