Over the past two days, the US stock market has seen significant declines, driven by escalating trade tensions following new tariffs imposed by President Trump. Is this a buying opportunity?
Dear readers,
Welcome back to the Quality Equities Premium Newsletter.
Over the past two days, the US stock market has seen significant declines, driven by escalating trade tensions following new tariffs imposed by President Trump.
What’s Happening?
On Monday, March 3, 2025, the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped by 1.5%, the S&P 500 fell 1.8% (its worst single-day loss of the year), and the Nasdaq plunged 2.6%. The selloff continued on Tuesday, March 4, with the Dow declining another 1.55%, the S&P 500 falling 1.2%, and the Nasdaq edging down 0.4%. These losses have erased all gains since Election Day, increasing investor anxiety about market stability.
The primary cause of the downturn is the introduction of new US tariffs, including a 25% tariff on imports from Canada and Mexico, along with a doubling of tariffs on Chinese goods to 20%. These measures sparked fears of a global trade war, as Canada and China swiftly responded with counter-tariffs on American exports. The uncertainty surrounding the potential economic impact of these tariffs led to a broad selloff across major industries, with investors fearing rising costs, disrupted supply chains, and a slowdown in corporate earnings growth.
