The U.S. stock market recorded significant losses on April 10, 2025, with major indexes like the Dow Jones, S&P 500, and Nasdaq posting sharp declines.
Analysts point to rising tariffs and tight government policies as primary drivers of the drop, with experts signaling recession risks.
U.S. Market Plunges: Dow Down 2.5%, Nasdaq 4.3%
The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell by 2.5%, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite Index dropped 3.5% and 4.3%, respectively.
Prolonged government policies such as spending cuts and tightened immigration measures have contributed to negative market reactions. Kelly warned of recession risks this year unless policy changes occur to stabilize tariff policies and trade relations.
“The tariff shadow has not yet dispersed… the market has realized that the economy is facing a comprehensive impact,” said David Kelly, Chief Global Strategist at J.P. Morgan Asset Management. He warned that, without policy changes, the U.S. economy could face a recession later this year.
The market reaction was swift, with many investors expressing concerns over economic stability. Analysts and financial strategists have called attention to the need for policy reform to prevent a potential recession.
Bitcoin Resilient: $9.9 Million Inflow Amid Market Woes
