Market Turmoil Caused by Uncertainty

Recent market downturns on Wall Street have been primarily driven by uncertainty surrounding President Trump's tariffs and government spending policies. The Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq have each experienced significant drops, with the Nasdaq facing its worst day since September 2022. Economists argue that the inconsistent nature of tariff announcements has created a climate where investors find it difficult to plan for future growth. This unpredictability, compounded by excessive government spending leading to artificial market inflation, has prompted many to sell off their stocks as they brace for potential corrections.
