US stock markets crash..!? indian stock markets tumble..!?

US President donald trump imposed additional tariffs on goods imported from China, canada and Mexico. He also announced that he would reciprocate with countries that impose high tariffs on US goods. This raised fears of an international trade war. Meanwhile, the country's stock markets rose last month due to Trump's tax policy. In particular, the total market value of shares of companies included in the S&P 500 index reached a new high. The S&P 500 is a stock market index that tracks the performance of the 500 largest companies listed on stock exchanges in the United States.
But now the situation has turned upside down. The same policy that Trump's policies that helped the country's stock markets rise is now the main reason for the decline in the country's stock markets. Along with fears of an economic recession, Donald Trump's tax policy has scared investors. As a result, the country's stock markets took a hard hit yesterday. In particular, investors sold shares worth 4 lakh crores in companies in the S&P 500 index.
Yesterday, the S&P 500 index fell 2.7 percent. This is the biggest daily decline so far this year. The Nasdaq Composite fell 4 percent. Ayako Yoshika, senior investment strategist at Wealth Enhancement, said, "We have clearly seen a big change in mentality. Many things that used to work are no longer working." The impact of the major decline in the US stock market is expected to reverberate in the indian stock markets as well. The indian stock markets, which had been facing a continuous decline for the last 5 months, saw a rise in the first week of this month. This gave investors great hope that the market would recover from the decline. In this situation, the sharp decline in the US stock markets yesterday is considered a major setback. Trading in the indian stock markets started with a decline this morning. In particular, the Sensex fell by about 400 points.
