This was the steepest decline for the index in the first 100 days of any presidency since Nixon’s second term.
During the four trading days leading up to April 8, the S&P 500 suffered its largest four-day loss since the index’s creation, following Trump’s “Liberation Day” global tariff announcement.

The S&P 500 has been on a roller coaster since Trump’s inauguration, plunging from an all-time high into bear market territory within just a month and a half as markets reacted sharply to a series of tariff announcements and subsequent rollbacks.
This market volatility has coincided with a notable slowdown in the broader U.S. economy.
America’s 2025 first quarter real GDP is projected to decline by 0.3%, the first contraction since early 2022.
