US Stocks Plunge as Trump Fails to Rule Out Recession

Market Reaction to Trump’s Comments

U.S. stocks tumbled sharply on Monday after President Donald Trump stated that the country would undergo “a period of transition” and did not dismiss the possibility of a recession. His remarks aired on Fox News’ Sunday Morning Futures With Maria Bartiromo, where he responded to a question about a potential recession, saying, “I hate to predict things like that. There is a period of transition because what we’re doing is very big.”

Major Indexes Decline

Following his comments, all three major stock indexes opened lower and continued to decline in morning trading:

  • The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 450 points, or 1.06%.
  • The S&P 500 fell 2%.
  • The Nasdaq Composite tumbled 3.2%, entering correction territory.

Tech Stocks Lead the Selloff
Technology stocks bore the brunt of the decline:

  • Tesla (TSLA) plunged over 8%.
  • Palantir (PLTR) dropped more than 7%.
  • Nvidia (NVDA) slid 4%.

By Monday morning, Tesla had erased all gains made since Trump’s reelection in November.

Market Uncertainty Fueled by Tariff Policy

Stock markets have already been struggling this month, with Trump’s shifting tariff policies adding to the volatility. The S&P 500 posted its worst week since September, falling 3.1% last week.

Trump’s latest trade policies include:

  • A doubled tariff on all Chinese imports, increasing from 10% to 20%.
  • A 25% tariff on all steel and aluminum imports set to take effect on March 12.
  • Threats of a 250% tariff on Canadian dairy products and a “tremendously high” tariff on lumber.
  • A temporary reprieve on Canadian and Mexican imports, now delayed until April 2.

Trump also hinted on Sunday that tariffs “may still go up as time goes by.”

Investor Concerns Mount

Market experts warn that uncertainty surrounding tariffs is causing major disruptions. David Bahnsen, Chief Investment Officer at The Bahnsen Group, noted:

“The talk of tariffs is, in a lot of ways, worse than the implementation of them. The speculation, reversals, and chaos only foster uncertainty.”

He predicted that tariff-related instability could persist for at least one or two quarters, potentially damaging economic activity before trade deals are ultimately renegotiated.

Signs of Economic Weakness

Concerns about a potential recession are deepening, with several economic indicators flashing warning signs:

  • Layoffs are increasing.
  • Hiring is slowing.
  • Consumer confidence is eroding.
  • Inflation is picking up.

The yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury dropped to 4.218%, as investors flocked to government bonds—a sign of growing economic uncertainty.

Key Economic Data to Watch
Investors will closely monitor upcoming monthly inflation data, expected on Wednesday and Thursday, to determine whether inflation remained stubborn in February.

What Defines a Recession?
A recession is commonly defined as two consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth. However, the National Bureau of Economic Research’s Business Cycle Dating Committee defines a recession more broadly as “a significant decline in economic activity that is spread across the economy and lasts more than a few months.”

Market Outlook

Sam Stovall, Chief Investment Strategist at CFRA Research, commented on investor sentiment:

“How long this period of investor caution persists depends on how quickly the global trade uncertainties—and the resulting threat of recession—dissipate.”

This is a developing story and will be updated as new information emerges.
