SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (WWLP) - The stock market faced quite a downfall Thursday.
This comes after President Trump released his plans to impose a 10% tariff on all imported goods, along with 25% tariffs on imported vehicles.
"It really hit rock bottom right away which means people weren't really s
urprised by it, but they were trying to recalibrate their numbers," says Mark Teed, Senior Vice President of Raymond James & Associates.
Nike, Apple, and Target all sank more than 9%. Meanwhile, the DOW nosedived more than 1,600 points, and the Nasdaq composite fell nearly 6%.
"In other words, they charge us, we charge them less. So how can anybody be upset? But they will be because we never charge anybody anything" says President Donald Trump.
Enjoying a Greek salad with feta cheese or purchasing clothing from the popular online shopping brand, Shein could be pricier. 25% tariffs on all foreign-made vehicles is expected to go into effect Friday.
While baseline 10% tariffs will go into effect on Saturday. The president also plans to place tariffs on imported auto parts starting May 3.
