Last week was a wild week on Wall Street, with stocks plunging, recovering, and dipping in response to President Donald Trump‘s trade levies.
The S&P 500, Dow Jones Industrial Average, and Nasdaq Composite all took large swings up and down in response to the tariffs and the 90-day pause that Trump announced on April 9.
The slide started the week prior, with stocks crashing in response to the new tariffs.

Here’s how traders responded to the seesawing stock market.
