In the Headlines
Global markets tumbled Friday as Trump’s surprise “Liberation Day” tariffs rattled investors and sparked the sharpest wave of selling since the pandemic-era chaos of 2020. Wall Street shivered, dragging everything from oil to Big Tech into the red—along with the dollar. Even gold, fresh off record highs, wasn’t immune, slipping as safe-haven bets evaporated. Economists warn the tariff salvo could brew a dangerous cocktail of slowing growth and stubborn inflation.
