US-China Tariff War / China attacked America in such a way that there was chaos in the American market

The US-China tariff war led to a huge drop in the US stock market. Dow Jones fell 3%, Nasdaq 3.25% and S&P 500 nearly 3%. Shares of many big companies including Tesla, Nvidia, Meta, Apple, Amazon fell. Investors suffered huge losses, which increased panic in the market.

US-China Tariff War: The world's two largest economies, the United States and China, are once again at odds. The U.S. first imposed a 34% tariff on China, to which China immediately retaliated by imposing an equivalent tariff on the U.S. This economic conflict is clearly impacting global markets, especially the U.S. stock market.

Sharp Decline in the U.S. Stock Market

The trade war has led to a significant drop in the U.S. stock market. During the early trading session:

Dow Jones was down by approximately 3%.
Nasdaq Composite recorded a 3.25% decline.
S&P 500 was also trading 3% lower.

The previous trading session had already seen a decline in U.S. markets as investors expressed concerns over recession and inflation due to the tariff decisions made by the Trump administration. This downturn resulted in a loss of over $2 trillion in market capitalization for the S&P 500.
