Dramatic trends playing out simultaneously: Infosys’ Chairman, Nandan Nilekani

The role of Rare Earth metals in everyday technology

Tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump have raised concerns from investors, prompting a big plunge in the stock market. It has wiped $4 trillion from the worth of the S&P 500 index since it was at its height last month. The stock market was previously positive because of the economic policies pursued by Trump, but the new developments, particularly tariffs on nations such as Canada, Mexico, and China, have heightened uncertainty.

On Monday, the S&P 500 plunged 2.7%, its largest decline so far this year. The Nasdaq also dropped hard, decreasing by 4%. The S&P 500 has declined by 8.6% since its peak on February 19, and there are some forecasters who estimate it could plummet another 10% soon, a correction threshold. Likewise, the Nasdaq has declined more than 10% since last December.

Trump has refused to comment on whether America is moving toward a recession, but his trade policies are spooking investors. Peter Orszag, the CEO of Lazard, said that the uncertainty created by the tariff battles is causing companies to rethink their game plans. Although tensions with China are predictable, the trade battles with Canada, Mexico, and Europe are perplexing for investors. If these become resolved soon, they would hurt the U.S. economy.

Several other companies, such as Delta Air Lines, are also reeling from this uncertainty. Delta lowered its first-quarter profit forecast by half, attributing it to the uncertain economic climate.

Besides the tariff concerns, investors are also worried about whether lawmakers will approve a spending bill to forestall a government shutdown. On top of that, a U.S. inflation report is due out soon, piling on the pressure.

Some investors believe that the Trump administration is more inclined to tolerate a market downturn and even a recession in pursuit of its greater objectives. This has made Wall Street investors nervous, many of whom had been bullish on Trump’s policies, including tax cuts and deregulation.

Despite the decline in the stock market, most stocks are still overvalued relative to historical norms. For instance, the S&P 500 currently trades at 21 times earnings, whereas its long-term multiple is around 16. Analysts caution that worries about tariffs, political uncertainty, and other factors may precipitate a larger market correction.

Overall, investors are becoming more and more anxious, with many stepping back from equities. Uncertainty regarding tariffs, trade wars, and political choices is leading to a shaky atmosphere. Therefore, the future of the stock market is uncertain, and it will continue to be a matter of concern for investors in the next few weeks.
