US stock indicators are drawing their biggest loss to this year

The Wall Street indicators were the biggest loss this year, after President Donald Trump promised to impose new customs duties on the most important United States commercial partners. This led to the increase in bonds and the decline in stocks significantly, as the S&P 500 index lost about 2% after Trump announced that Mexico and Canada would not be able to negotiate on Tuesday about customs duties. The currencies associated with it, the Canadian dollar and Mexican pizo. Later, the White House said Trump signed an executive order to double custom duties on China up to 20%. The equity indicators are declining with the poor economic data, the impact of a significant decline in stocks of major technology companies on stock indicators, which were also influenced by poor manufacturing data. The shares were folded on Friday, which encouraged the “S&B 500” index to land 5% on February 19 from its highest record. The index ranged between profits and losses by at least 1.5% for three sessions, a period of violent consequences that the markets have not seen since March 2020. Data on Monday was the latest in a series of disappointing reports. Digital currencies, a most important indication of the risks in the markets after the election, fell a day to the height when Trump strengthened his calls to create a reserve of digital assets. “It’s time for anxiety, not pessimism. There is not enough evidence to believe that we are about to fall, but the economy is changing quickly. The news headlines do not stop, and people do not know what to do,” said Kali Calem of Ritholtz Wealth Management. The performance of the US financial markets The S&B 500 index fell 1.8%, and the Nasdaq 100 index applied by 2.2%, and the Dow Jones Industrial Index fell by about 1.5%. The “Seven Greats” index (Apple, Alphabet, Invidia, Amazon, Microsoft, Meta, Tesla) fell 3.1%, and the “Russell 2000” index lost 2.8%small businesses. The UBS basket for the shares of US companies that were negatively affected by customs duties fell by 2.9%. The scene in the US market was different from Europe, as the shares there saw that one of its strongest heights was for 2025, which led to the continued direction of international trade that dominated most of the year. The fluctuation index in Wall Street, known as “Vix” or “Fear Index”, has reached its highest level since December. All shares of large businesses have fallen as “invitations” shares fell by 8.7%. TSMC for semiconductor manufacture has announced that it will invest an additional $ 100 billion in US factories to increase slides on US land, supporting Trump’s goal in promoting local manufacturing. Oil prices fell with the claim of the “OPEC+” coalition that it would continue with the plans to stop the production. Trump was a request of the coalition to help lower prices. Treasury bond yields dropped by 5 basis points to 4.16%for 10 years. Bloomberg’s dollar index also dropped 0.4%, and it fell 9.5%by ‘Takben’. Investors are concerned about the future of the markets, David Costin of Goldman Sachs said any attempt to recover S&B 500 is likely to be temporary, amid economic concern. According to Costin, investors’ exposure to stocks fell last week, but it did not reach a sufficiently low level to indicate a tactical increase as a result of the poor investment concentration. He said: “It will be a need for improvement in the expectations of US economic growth to reflect the latter’s weakness in the stock market.” “The markets have begun to express increasing concerns about a possible slowdown in the US economy. A message of caution should be taken seriously, and depending on the work report on Friday, the decline in the total economic momentum could reduce the progress of the markets.” Negative expectations for US stock markets were not Scott Robner of “Goldman Sachs”, convinced that the demand for US stocks was sufficient to maintain a sustainable recovery. Robner turned to the negative view of the markets last month, amid the decline in the flow of individual investors and other supporters. He pointed out that although the market goes through the last phase of the reinvestment station, it is ‘not ready’ to give an optimistic signal. Instead, investors recommended that they be flexible in dealing with high quality beliefs. In a memorandum of clients, Robner indicated that March 14 could be a possible market decline, as historical data indicates that the first half of the month often has severe fluctuations. Transformations to value stocks in the light of some poor economic indicators and constant certainty about customs tariffs are likely to continue to vary the shares of major technology companies in the United States, according to the JP Morgan Chase strategies led by Mayslav Mattegka. Strategists say that rotation on growth stocks and trend to value shares will help international markets, which are dominated by value shares. However, the US market is likely to benefit from the spirit of risk and organizational restrictions, while the United States is usually better than other regions in non -risk periods. Michael Wilson, the strategy of “Morgan Stanley”, said the stocks are likely to be more sensitive to economic growth than falling in bond yields. The City Group strategy, led by Scott Crohnrt, has seen on their part that US profit estimates do not fully reflect the potential risks of customs proposed by President Trump. Nevertheless, they said that expectations are more optimistic if they look at each share and sector separately. They added, “Excessive focus on the profits and evaluations of indicators can be misleading. With our progress in 2025, the slogan of ‘stock market instead of one share market’ can become more important, especially with the clarity of the effect of Trump’s policy.” World markets surpassed US shares in 2025, world markets surpassed US shares at the beginning of 2025, a negative historical indication of the performance of the rest of the year for US investors. If history has been proven, it could mean a relative relative weakness of US stocks in the coming months. According to the analysis of “Bloomberg Intelligence”, based on 35 years of data, the S&B500 has never exceeded its international counterpart if it failed by more than 2.8 percentage points by mid -February, as happened this year. The analysts of ‘Bloomberg Intelligence’, Gina Martin Adams and Jelian Wolf, described this performance as: “A rare red and historical sign against a complete recovery of the markets, in light of the decline of economic basics.”
