The first quarter of 2025 has rocked U.S. equity markets, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite facing their worst losses since 2022. Fueled by President Trump’s aggressive tariff policies, including sweeping new taxes on aluminum, steel, autos, and Chinese goods, investors are gripped by fear of an impending global trade war. The S&P 500 plunged 4.6%, while the Nasdaq tumbled 10.5%, as growth stocks, particularly in tech, took a massive hit. Tesla and Nvidia saw their stock values drop sharply due to the turmoil caused by Trump’s policies. Market volatility spiked, with Goldman Sachs warning of a 35% chance of a U.S. recession, the highest since 2020. Despite the turmoil, sectors like energy and consumer staples found resilience, offering hope for investors seeking diversification. With the Federal Reserve’s actions in focus and the threat of rising inflation and economic disruption, the situation remains volatile. Investors are left wondering: Will Trump’s tariff actions lead to a broader economic collapse, or can the markets recover from this shock?
