Summary

The US stock market experienced significant volatility and a downturn starting April 2, 2025, following President Donald Trump's introduction of new tariff policies, an event he termed "Liberation Day." This led to widespread panic selling globally, marking the largest decline since the 2020 stock market crash. Despite initial strong momentum after Trump's inauguration, increasingly aggressive protectionist trade policies, including escalating trade wars with China, Canada, and Mexico, and heightened tensions with allies, caused growing market turbulence. While investors initially shifted to bonds, this trend reversed due to declining confidence in US fiscal policy. The market began to recover after the Trump administration paused tariff increases on April 9, 2025, leading to a rally. Subsequent policy adjustments and trade deals saw the S&P 500 turn positive for the year by May 13, 2025, and both the S&P 500 and NASDAQ reached all-time highs by June 27, 2025. The US stock market was noted for its resilience, with Uber's performance highlighted, though Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell faced criticism for a slow response to interest rate cuts.

2025 stock market crash

Starting on April 2, 2025, global stock markets crashed amid increased volatility following the introduction of new tariff policies by United States President Donald Trump during his second term. On April 2, which he called "Liberation Day", Trump announced sweeping tariffs impacting nearly all sectors of the US economy. The announcement triggered widespread panic selling across global stock markets, including those in the United States. It became the largest global market decline since the 2020 stock market crash, which occurred during the recession caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Trump entered his second term with a particularly strong domestic stock market. This momentum continued for several weeks after his inauguration. However, the administration soon began implementing increasingly aggressive trade policies aimed at advancing protectionism and applying economic pressure. These included escalating the ongoing trade war with China, starting a trade war with Canada and Mexico, imposing heavy tariffs, and heightening tensions with key allies. As these policies took effect, financial markets grew increasingly turbulent and volatile, with a growing sense of uncertainty. As stock prices declined, investors initially moved into bonds, pushing down yields. The Trump administration pointed to the yield drop as evidence that its tariff measures were helping reduce borrowing costs. However, this trend quickly reversed as bond markets began to experience widespread selling as well, described as an example of bond vigilantism. The spike in bond yields, attributed to waning investor confidence in US fiscal policy, led to emergency responses by several governments. The Trump administration announced it would pause tariff increases on April 9, 2025, leading to a stock market rally with major US indices posting their largest gains in years. Following further walk backs and initial trade deals, the S&P 500 US stock market index turned positive for the year on May 13, 2025. By June 27 2025, the S&P 500 and the NASDAQ closed at all time highs.

  • As Nasdaq Notches New Highs, What Will The Last Half Of 2025 ...

    There are at least two more reasons why U.S. stocks could continue to sustain their secular uptrend. First, the market for new issues is expanding, which raises the so-called animal spirits. Recently, theratio of new issues over the past 12 months as a percentage of stocks on the New York Stock Exchange hit a 12-month high of 8.4% in mid-April this year. That's still well below the 5-year peak of 17.2% marked in Nov. 19, 2021. A New AI Hub In The Making ------------------------------ [...] The large-cap S&P 500 closed the first half of 2025 at 6,204.95, up 5.5% for the year; the Nasdaq composite's finished the same period at 20,369.73, also up 5.5% since Jan. 1. Looking at the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the blue chip index finished the second quarter of the year at 44,094 for a mild 3.6% gain since Jan. 1. But on Tuesday, it added 0.9% on the strength of gains by beaten down medical and industrial components in the 30-stock average. [...] After rising 3.4% in the week ended June 27, the large-cap index barely budged on the first trading day of July, down just 0.1%. This past week, the market cap-weighted S&P 500 rallied 1.7% to end at 6,279, an all-time weekly closing high. Recent action has been quiet, likely a good sign, but the second-quarter earnings season is coming next week. Down 0.3% for the week so far, the 500 is trading in tight fashion compared with the prior two large up weeks.
