Tariffs caused a correction

The Trump administration’s April 2 “Liberation Day” sent the stock market lower as the fear and uncertainty of unprecedented tariffs weighed on equity prices. The leading indices plunged, led by the technology-heavy NASDAQ composite. 

The monthly chart highlights the NASDAQ composite’s 26.8% plunge from the December 2024 20,204.58 record peak to the April 7 low of 14,794.45. The Magnificent Seven stocks led the NASDAQ composite lower as uncertainty of future trade barriers gripped the technology and other leading stock market indices. 

The MAG Seven came storming back

The NASDAQ Composite rebounded by over 30%, reaching its most recent high of 19,241.41 on May 21. The index was above 19,100 in early June, with the most substantial increases in the MAG Seven stocks.
