Markets in Freefall: Trump Doubles Down on Trade War as Global Economy Trembles
Global financial markets are in freefall after the U.S. administration’s sweeping tariff announcement sparked a chain reaction of panic selling.
Wall Street witnessed a historic two-day bloodbath, erasing $6.6 trillion in market value.
China responded swiftly with a 34% retaliatory tariff, triggering a 10% crash in its own markets—the worst since 2008.
Asia-Pacific markets nosedived, with Japan’s Nikkei plunging nearly 9% and Vietnam suffering significant declines under a 46% U.S. tariff.
Europe wasn’t spared either, as the STOXX 600 and major regional indices tumbled across the board.

President Trump now says he has “no intention” of firing Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, despite calling him a “major loser” just days ago. Trump’s sudden reversal—delivered in the Oval Office—comes after sharp criticism and market turbulence. Wall Street surged on the news, as fears of a central bank shakeup faded. Trump had previously accused Powell of failing to cut interest rates. The about-face follows internal White House talks on removing Powell, who is legally protected until 2026. Critics warned that firing him could destabilize the entire financial system.

China-US Tariff War: President Donald Trump has declared a 90-day pause on all new "reciprocal" tariffs, excluding China, which now faces a 125% levy. The decision triggered a massive rally on Wall Street, with the S&P 500 seeing its best day since 2008. Trump emphasized the need to avoid hurting friendly nations. However, economists remain cautious—Goldman Sachs warns of a 45% chance of a U.S. recession. Despite market optimism, analysts suggest the pause may not fully counteract the economic turbulence sparked by the ongoing global trade war.

Goldman Sachs has raised the odds of a major US and global recession, warning that President Trump’s new tariffs could trigger a sharp economic downturn. Amid rising market panic and tightening financial conditions, Goldman forecasts a 45% chance of recession and slashes the US growth forecast for 2025 to 0.5%. The move comes after a global market meltdown, with China experiencing its biggest crash since 2008 and the EU facing harsh tariffs of 20%. Meanwhile, JPMorgan highlights US trade policies as the biggest risk to the global economic outlook, as retaliation, supply chain disruptions, and business uncertainty intensify. With Wall Street witnessing a $6.6 trillion wipeout in just two days, investor Bill Ackman warns that these policies could lead to an "economic nuclear winter." As countries like Canada and the EU consider stronger responses, the global trade landscape enters a volatile new phase.

Tensions are escalating in the Asia-Pacific as China slams the U.S.-Philippines joint military drills near Taiwan. The 2025 Balikatan exercises involve over 14,000 troops and simulated island defenses — moves Beijing says threaten regional peace. Chinese officials accuse the Philippines of colluding with foreign powers and warn the drills will disrupt stability and economic growth. As Australia, Japan, and others join or observe the war games, China warns: “Those who play with fire will get burned.” The Luzon Strait — near Taiwan — is now the center of global attention.
