Dow Slides More Than 200 Points as Traders Await Trump’s Tariff Rollout

U.S. stocks fell Monday as traders looked ahead to “Liberation Day” for clarity on President Donald Trump’s tariff plans.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average traded 228 points lower, or 0.6%. The S&P 500 dipped 1.2%, and the Nasdaq Composite shed 2.1%. Investors were in a risk-off mood again early Monday, selling the tech bull market winners like Nvidia, Tesla and Meta.

A slew of tariffs previously announced by the Trump administration will go into effect on Wednesday — what Trump has called “Liberation Day” — including a 25% levy on “all cars that are not made in the United States.” The president is also expected to announce his plan for reciprocal duties aimed at countries that impose tariffs on U.S. imports.

Uncertainty surrounding tariffs has weighed on equities, dragging stocks lower on Friday to end the last full trading week of March. Trump did little to assuage fears over the weekend, with The Wall Street Journal reporting Sunday that the president had in recent days pushed his advisors to get more aggressive when it comes to tariffs. In a Saturday interview with NBC News, Trump said that he “couldn’t care less” if foreign automakers raise their prices due to these new tariffs.
