Impact of Tariffs on the Stock Market

The introduction of new tariffs has significantly affected stock market performance, leading to sharp declines in major indices such as the S&P and Nasdaq. President Trump's announcement of reciprocal tariffs heightened investor anxiety following a disappointing jobs report that indicated weaker-than-expected job growth. Additionally, large tech companies, particularly the MAG-7, saw substantial losses, with Amazon's earnings report contributing to a market cap decline exceeding $300 billion. The discussion highlights concerns over market leadership and the Fed's ongoing uncertainty regarding monetary policy as they navigate these economic challenges.
