The New York Markets (Reuters) -which was implemented in the TarFF is another week of potential identification disorders, with repercussions from incoming fees by President Donald Trump to keep investors on the ground after the worst week for American shares since the local base viruses crisis emerged five years ago.

Investors will search for signs that the stock market may be close to the bottom in the short term at least after Trump’s tariff shook the prices of global assets this week. The S& P 500 index presented the standard for the largest weekly decrease since March 2020, and the Nasdaq compound ended on Friday with more than 20 % of the December height, confirming that the heavy technological index in the bear market. Dow Jones Industrial MEVERGAL ended the week in more than 10 % of its record in December, which represents a correction of the blue chip index.

There can be more fluctuations in the store before the deadline set by Trump on April 9 for mutual definitions, after announcing on Wednesday about the fees sent by the markets to a tail, raising fears of global recession.

“The playing book on this is not very clear to everyone,” said Jeffrey Palma, President of Multi-Seet Solutions in Cohen & Steers. “There are all the questions about the customs tariffs, and the revenge definitions, as this ends and where it is vibrating.”

As the sharp slide decreased at the end of the week, the S&P 500 decreased by more than 17 % of its closure on February 19 at all. In the following two days, Trump’s introductory advertisement, the S&P 500 companies lost about 5 trillion dollars in the market value, which is the largest amount ever in an extension for two days, according to LSEG data.

“The markets can be the worst enemy,” said Matthew Misskin, the chief of strategy of the participating investment in John Hancock Investment. “This type of cloud … can shake confidence and can actually lead to weaker economic activity.”

Trump’s tariff will win the highest commercial barriers for more than a century, including the 10 % foundation tariff for all imports and target duties on dozens of countries.

The commercial battle escalated on Friday when China returned to an additional 34 % tariff on American goods.

Investors have reduced their economic and profits classification, as JPMorgan analysts raised the global recession this year to 60 % of 40 % before.

Some investors were hoping that Trump would negotiate deals in the coming days with some countries that would restore some definitions. Others were doubtful that Trump would make any concessions.

Despite Trump’s opportunity for the axis, “it was not lost that the window is shrinking and some of the damages to consumers and may have already been done regardless of the negotiating end point.”
