Global financial markets are in freefall after the U.S. administrationās 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 marketsāthe worst since 2008. Asia-Pacific markets nosedived, with Japanās Nikkei plunging nearly 9% and Vietnam suffering significant declines under a 46% U.S. tariff. Europe wasnāt spared either, as the STOXX 600 and major regional indices tumbled across the board.
