Stock Market Carnage Wipes Out $6 Trillion, With Apple, Tesla And Nvidia Taking The Biggest Hits

In early April 2025, the world stock market experienced a historic slowdown, erasing around 6.6 billions of dollars in market capitalization over two days.

This unprecedented sale was mainly triggered by the announcement of important prices by American president Donald Trump, leading to a generalized panic of the investor and to the fears of a global recession.

The industrial average of Dow Jones plunged 2,230 points, or 5.5%, marking a drop of 14% compared to its December peak. The total market capitalization of the S&P 500 fell to 45.1 billions of dollars. Since its recent summit on February 19, the index has lost 9.5 billions of dollars down 17.4% overall.

Technological actions led to bleeding on Friday, while Apple, Tesla and Nvidia took the greatest successes. Apple dropped 7%, bringing its loss for the week to 13%. Nvidia fell 7% during the session, while Tesla dropped by 10%. The three companies have a large exposure to China and are among the hardest affected by Beijing reprisals.

The implementation of international rates has also made a heavy price on the economy already weakened by Russia, which was in shock of three years of conflict in Ukraine. During the week, Russia’s Moxia’s stock market has been a sharp 8.09% drop in market capitalization, a dive not seen since September 2022. Large Russian companies such as Gazprom and Sberbank also saw their shares fall by 5%.

Economists’ estimates have been much darker, most predicting that President Trump’s radical rates and reprisals will probably slow American economic growth, will increase costs for consumers and make life difficult for companies that depend on international supply chains.

Speaking on the experienced Blood Bath on the stock market, Emily Bowersock Hill, CEO and founding partner of Bowersock Capital Partners, said, said

“The Haussier market is dead, and it was destroyed by self-inflicted ideologists and injuries. Although the market can be close to the short -term background, we are concerned about the impact of a world trade in long -term economic growth. ”

Jay Woods, world chief strategist at Freedom Capital Markets, said,

“Fear now when we are entering the weekend is the escapes of trade war, and the United States does not retreat.”

Also commenting on Trump’s price, the business tycoon and the co-founder of the Virgin Richard Branson group on his LinkedIn page, pleaded with President Trump to make the error of his tariff chaos and correct it.

He wrote,

“Strong leadership means taking risks and trying things, but when it does not work, do your error and correct it. Quickly. One of the most important lessons I learned from 60 years of activity is to accept when I am wrong and change course. The US government government will take the world economy in dangerous direction. They will worsen people everywhere in particular in America.

“It’s not just about the economy. Countries that are negotiated fairly and healthily prosper and prosper. They reduce poverty, improve health and education and decrease the probability of war. Courage and self -awareness are the cornerstone of real leadership. This quickly includes errors and creating corrections. With a rapid reversal of sensitive economic policy, America and the rest of the world can still avoid the catastrophic repercussions that these prices inflict. »»

In the midst of a reaction to his implementation of the price, Trump appears to the unwavering publication on his social truth that his “Politicians will never change”.

He said the prices would reverse decades of what he called unjust treatment by the rest of the world and would cause factories and jobs to return to the United States.

“The markets will explode” and “the country will explode”, “ He added.

The accelerated sale while China has promised to impose new prices on American products, overshadowing a stronger than expected job report. The industrial average of Dow Jones plunged 2,230 points, or 5.5%, marking a drop of 14% compared to its December peak. The 6% drop in Friday in the S&P 500 reduces the 10% index in the last two days. The NASDAQ focused on technology fell 5.8%, entering what Wall Street calls a lower market.
