FINANCIAL DISTRICT OF LOWER MANHATTAN IN NEW YORK CITY 3. SCREENS SHOWING LOSING STOCKS ANADOLU SCRIPT: US stocks ended Thursday with a sharp decline in the biggest one-day loss since 2020 after US President Donald Trump announced his long-awaited reciprocal tariffs Wednesday after markets closed. A minimum baseline tariff of 10% will be imposed on all countries except Canada and Mexico, with higher penalties charged on nations Trump deemed to be the "worst" trade offenders. The president said his new economic effort seeks to "help build our economy" by spurring domestic manufacturing, raising government revenue and thwarting "cheating" on trade. Reciprocal tariffs ranging from 10% to 50% were imposed on products the US imports from many of its trading partners. The EU received 20%, China 34%, Vietnam 46%, Taiwan 32%, Japan 24%, India 26%, South Korea 25%, Thailand 36%, Switzerland 31%, Indonesia 32%, Malaysia 24%, Cambodia 49%, South Africa 30%, Bangladesh 30%, and Israel 17% in reciprocal tariffs. Some countries, such as Türkiye, the UK, Brazil, Australia, the United Arab Emirates, New Zealand, Egypt and Saudi Arabia were subjected to 10% baseline tariffs each. Tech companies' stock prices fell sharply, with Apple's shares down more than 9% due to supply chain disruption worries. More US tariffs were imposed on China, the country that supplies essential iPhone components, increasing the overall rate to 54%. Similar worries caused chip stocks to also plummet, with Nvidia down more than 7%. The market capitalization of the so-called "Magnificent Seven" stocks dropped more than $900 billion. The market sell-off was acknowledged by Trump, who compared the imposition of tariffs to “when a patient gets operated on." "The markets are going to boom. The stock is going to boom. The country is going to boom. And the rest of the world wants to see -- is there any way they can make a deal," he said Thursday. On the macroeconomic data side, the US foreign trade deficit declined 6.1% in February month-on-month to $122.7 billion. Initial jobless claims in the country fell 6,000 to 219,000 last week, lower than the expected figure of 225,000. The Dow Jones industrial average dove 3.98%, or 1,679.39 points, to end the day at 40,545.93, posting its worst day since June 2020. The S&P 500 declined 4.84%, or 274.45 points, to 5,396.52, also its worst session since June 2020. The Nasdaq Composite plummeted 5.97%, or 1,050.44 points, to 16,550.60, registering its biggest decline since March 2020. The VIX Index, also known as the “fear index,” soared 39.56% to 30.02.
