Wall Street Falls as Trump's EU Tariff Threat Sparks Market Uncertainty

  • President Donald Trump announced new tariff threats on the European Union and Apple before U.S. Markets opened on Friday, shaking Wall Street.
  • The tariffs stem from stalled trade talks with the European Union, with Trump declaring that 50% tariffs would start June 1 and a 25% tariff would apply to iPhones not made in the U.S.
  • The announcement triggered a market decline with the S&P 500 dropping about 0.9% and the Dow falling 366 points, while European stocks, including France's CAC 40, also fell sharply.
  • Investment strategists noted that despite tariff risks causing volatility, stocks remain range-bound, and further gains depend on more concrete trade deals, with traders increasingly desensitized to headline news.
  • The tariff threats heightened uncertainty, pushing investors towards safe assets like gold, which rose over 2%, and drove increased market anxiety reflected by higher volatility indexes.
