They prepared for more losses
Investors are preparing on Monday for market troubles in response to Trump’s “Liberation Day” prices announced last week.
Speaking with journalists on Air Force One on Sunday, Trump approached the recent market turbulence and the subsequent fears of an imminent recession.
“Now, what will happen with the market? I can’t tell you, but I can tell you that our country has become much stronger, and ultimately it will be a country like no other, it will be the most economically dominant country in the world,” said Trump.
“I do not want nothing to drop, but sometimes you have to take medication to repair something and we have such a horrible – we were so badly treated by other countries because we had stupid leadership that made it happen,” added the president.
US markets closed considerably on Friday. The industrial average of Dow Jones fell by 2,230 points, or 5.5%, while the S& P 500 dived 6%.
The Nasdaq, heavy in technology, decreased by 5.8%. The decrease put the Nasdaq in territory of the lower market, which means that the index has dropped by more than 20% of its recent peak.
Friday, the negotiation session marked the worst day for American actions since 2020. The second day for American actions since 2020 occurred on Thursday, a day earlier.
