President Trump released Mr. Market, and the beast seems to explode a key technical level on the S&P 500 (^ GSPC).
In a show of the “Liberation Day” in the White House, Trump discovered a basic rate rate of 10% on countries that will come into force on April 5.
Additional prices will be added for certain countries that the administration considers as the worst negotiation offenders.
Some of these countries are important supply and business regions for many large American companies such as Apple (Aapl), Nike (Nke), and Walmart (Wmt). China, for example, will see an estimated rate rate of 54%. Vietnam consists of 46%. Japan is 24%.

“We admit that we felt better about the capacity of the S&P 500 to defend its hollow in mid-March arriving on Wednesday, only for this light of optimism to dissipate again on Wednesday evening,” the strategist of the RBC capital markets, Lori Calvasina, wrote on Thursday in a note early Thursday.
“Like most analysts and strategists, we will digest the implications of newly announced reciprocal prices in the coming days,” wrote Calvasina. “For the moment, we reiterate our point of view that if the S&P 500 breaks significantly below mid-March 2025, we think it is likely that the index will fall into the range of 4900-5300 for a” growth of growth “of 14-20% compared to the peak of February 2025, similar to the growth of the Rafale DUWNOWS 2015 and 2018.
