Summary
U.S. stock futures dropped sharply Wednesday evening after Trump announced sweeping global tariffs, including a 10% baseline on all imports and 25% on autos.
As of 6:30 p.m. ET, Dow futures fell 2.43%, S&P 500 futures 3.60%, and Nasdaq futures 4.46%, contrasting with modest gains earlier in the day.
Trump framed the move as “Liberation Day,” but investors and economists raised alarms.
Goldman Sachs now sees a 35% recession risk, citing falling consumer confidence and the administration’s readiness to endure short-term economic pain to advance its trade agenda.
Goldman Sachs have blinders on. This is gonna hit hard tomorrow
My only guess is that they remain conservative in their estimates until we start reaching into a second or third quarter of GDP losses.
Liberate deez nuts.
Even though I know that I am personally going to feel the pain from this, it does bring me a little bit of satisfaction watching the rich assholes who put Trump in office in exchange for tax cuts losing their net worth because it’s all tied to their stock.
Those tax breaks aren’t going to matter when they don’t have any money.I think they just don’t understand that we don’t pay the tariffs, the country it’s coming from pays the tariffs. Right! Right? Guys…
