4 reasons for decline in US market
- China also imposed 34% tariff on America: China on Friday announced the imposition of 34% counter -tariff on the US. The new tariff will be applicable from April 10. Two days ago, US President Trump imposed a Tit tariff to the world like worldwide. It was imposed 34% of additional tariffs on China. Now China has put the same tariff on America.
- Companies fear of reducing profits: The US has announced a 10%minimum tariff on all imported goods and even higher fees on some countries (such as 34%on China, 46%on Vietnam). This will increase the price of goods coming from there. This will increase the cost of companies, which will affect their profits. Investors have started selling shares due to the possibility of a reduced profit, causing a decline in the market.
- Fear of Global Trade War: After the declaration of tariff from the American, other countries can also impose counter tariffs. For example, if India is imposed 26% tariffs, India can also increase the fees on American goods. This can cause obstruction of global trade, affecting the supply chain. This uncertainty has panicked investors and have started withdrawing money from the stock market.
- Concern of Economic Sloidown: People will make less purchases when the goods are expensive with tariffs, which can reduce the speed of the economy. Also, crude oil prices have fallen due to low demand (American crude $ 69.63 per barrel). This is a weak economic activity signal. This has shown the trust of investors and the decline in the market has intensified.
