The technology sector bore the brunt of the sell-off, with Nvidia and Tesla experiencing significant declines of 6% and 5.6%, respectively. Nvidia’s losses were attributed to valuation concerns and fears over reduced AI-related spending, while Tesla faced challenges linked to its exposure to trade policies. Other tech giants on Wallstreet, including Broadcom and Supermicro, also saw declines following reports of canceled data center projects.

These losses were attributed to valuation concerns and investor anxiety over President Donald Trump’s newly announced 25% tariff on imported automobiles, set to take effect on April 2. The announcement also impacted automotive stocks, with General Motors and Ford showing volatility.

Economic Data Affected Investors in Wallstreet.

Economic data added to the market’s cautious sentiment on WallStreet. The Conference Board’s Consumer Confidence Index fell to 92.9, marking a four-year low, while durable goods orders for February showed an unexpected increase as businesses stockpiled inventory ahead of potential cost hikes.

US Treasury yields rose, with the 10-year yield climbing to 4.35%, reflecting inflation concerns linked to the tariffs. Federal Reserve officials expressed differing views on the potential impact of these trade policies, with some suggesting that tariff-driven inflation could lead to prolonged rate hikes.

Market analysts highlighted the challenges posed by policy uncertainty. Michael Brown of Pepperstone noted, “Tariff uncertainty is extremely high. Businesses and consumers can’t plan even a day ahead, and markets can’t price risk effectively.”

Meanwhile, Jamie Cox of Harris Financial Group emphasized that “markets hate tariff uncertainty—especially in the auto sector”
