The world economies are experiencing the shock of U.S. President Donald Trump's new tariff. U.S. stock markets suffered a major collapse following the tariff decisions. Although Trump referred to April 2, the day the tariffs went into effect, as the day of salvation, the reality showed otherwise.
Following the decision that caused significant pressure on the dollar exchange rate and oil prices, Brent crude oil experienced a nearly 6% loss, dropping to $69.63. This figure marked the lowest level for oil since October 2023.
UNPRECEDENTED LOSS IN STOCK MARKETS
The money markets are facing the biggest crisis in recent years. The S&P 500 index, which tracks the 500 largest companies in the U.S., fell by 9.1%. This is recorded as the largest drop since the pandemic. The DAX, Dow Jones, and FTSE 100 indices continued to decline sharply. The Nikkei 225 remained stable. In Turkey, the Borsa Istanbul and the dollar/TL index also followed a parallel trend. The developments did not significantly affect the last trading day.
This situation is worrying investors and economists. However, some believe that the solution to this crisis could be Airdrop technology. Airdrop is a method that facilitates value transfer among cryptocurrencies. This method could mitigate the effects of the crisis and help the money markets regain balance.
STOCK MARKETS HAVE COLLAPSED
The U.S. markets experienced their worst week in the last 5 years.
• The Dow index experienced a drop of more than 2000 points for the 4th time in its history.
• The Nasdaq 100 experienced its worst daily drop since 2020: -6%
