🌍 Global Stock Markets Face Sharp Declines Amid Trade War Concerns

📉 Short Article:
In recent days, global stock markets have experienced significant turbulence following new trade tensions between the United States and China. President Trump's announcement of increased tariffs on Chinese imports triggered a swift response from Beijing, which imposed a 34% retaliatory tax on U.S. goods.

These developments have caused a sharp decline in key market indices:

S&P 500 fell by 6%, erasing nearly $5 trillion in market value over two days.

Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped by over 2,200 points.

In Europe, Germany’s DAX index declined by 2.3%, while France’s CAC 40 lost 4.3%.

Asian markets, especially in China and Japan, also saw heavy losses as investor anxiety grew.

Analysts warn that the escalation may lead to prolonged market instability and urge investors to diversify their portfolios and monitor developments closely.
