U.S. stock futures fell sharply on Sunday night, with Dow futures down over 1,500 points, suggesting that Wall Street could face a "catastrophic day" on Monday. The reciprocal tariffs from the Trump administration have caused panic in global markets, as investors have not received the expected news on negotiations. China has also imposed a 34% tariff on U.S. products, further deepening market unease. Noted financial commentator Cramer warned that if Trump insists on the tariff plan, a market crash similar to that of 1987 could occur. Meanwhile, Bitcoin fell below $80,000, and the market outlook is not optimistic.
U.S. stock futures plummeted on Sunday night, with Dow futures dropping over 1500 points. Foreign media analysis indicates that this may mean that the U.S. stock market will face a "disastrous day" when it opens on Monday.
The reciprocal tariff measures from the Trump administration have triggered market panic, leading to a wave of selling in the stock market. By around 6 PM local time on Sunday night, Dow futures had significantly fallen, while simultaneously, cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin also showed a decline, with prices dropping below 80,000 dollars.
Investors did not receive the expected news over the weekend; the Trump administration did not actively negotiate with various countries or consider delaying the implementation of reciprocal tariffs. Instead, Trump and his team attempted to downplay the impact of the stock market sell-off, which made investors feel even more uneasy.
Even more concerning is that the calculation of reciprocal tariffs seems to be based on a simple formula rather than established economic theories. China decided to impose a 34% tariff on all U.S. imports, rather than responding through negotiation, further exacerbating investor anxiety.
Financial celebrities have warned that if Trump insists on his tariff plans, a repeat of the Black Monday event of 1987 cannot be ruled out, when the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 22.6% in a single day. Meanwhile, Bitcoin also fell on Sunday night, dropping below the 78,000 dollar threshold, after spending most of the previous year above 80,000 dollars, with only a few brief declines recently.
