Wall Street Plunges Amid Global Trade War Fears
Wall Street dropped sharply as China matched U.S. tariffs, widening trade war fears. The S&P 500 fell 6 percent, the Dow plunged 2,231 points, and the Nasdaq tumbled 5.8 percent as markets eyed potential recession risks. Friday’s jobs data offered a brief rally but failed to reverse the overall downturn. Trade tensions, inflation fears, and Fed policy uncertainty dominated the narrative, with investors awaiting further tariff developments and negotiations.

Fed chair warns tariffs likely lift inflation and slow growth
Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said expansive tariffs will probably cause at least a temporary rise in inflation and slower U.S. growth. He noted the effects are larger than expected and that the Fed may keep rates near 4.3 percent until clearer economic signals emerge, while Wall Street bets on rate cuts this year.
