Wall Street swings again as Trump's 'Liberation Day' rattles global markets

President Donald Trump's fast-approaching Liberation Day sent stock markets swinging sharply worldwide on Monday. On Wall Street, the S&P 500 rose 0.6% in another roller-coaster day, after being down as much as 1.7% during the morning. The reversal helped the index shave its loss for the first three months of the year to 4.6%, making it the worst quarter in two-and-a-half years. The Dow Jones Industrial Average also swerved higher after erasing an initial loss, and it climbed 417 points, or 1%. Slides for Tesla, Nvidia and other influential Big Tech stocks, though, sent the Nasdaq composite down 0.1%. Such neck-twisting turns have become routine for the US stock market recently because of uncertainty about what Trump will do with tariffs and by how much they will worsen inflation and grind down growth for economies. Wall Street's swings followed a sell-off that spanned the world earlier Monday as worries built about the effects of the tariffs that Trump says will bring ...

Wall Street sell-off spirals, briefly sends US stocks 10% below its record

Wall Street's sell-off is spiralling Tuesday following President Donald Trump's latest escalation in his trade war, briefly pulling the US stock market 10% below its record set just a few weeks ago. The S&P 500 was down 1.4% in afternoon trading after Trump said he would raise tariffs on steel and aluminum coming from Canada, doubling their planned increase to 50%. The president said it was a response to moves a Canadian province made after Trump began threatening tariffs on one of the United States' most important trading partners. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 678 points, or 1.6%, as of 1:40 pm Eastern time, and the Nasdaq composite was 1% lower. The S&P 500 was sitting at the edge of what Wall Street calls a correction," where it falls 10%, and was sitting within 0.1 percentage points of the mark. Such head-spinning moves are becoming routine following a scary ride for investors where the S&P 500 has swung by at least 1%, up or down, seven times in the last .

Asian shares and US futures were mostly higher on Wednesday following a rocky session on Wall Street after Canada, Mexico and China were hit by steep US tariffs that took effect on Tuesday.
