As Trump marks his first 100 days back in the White House, he presides over the worst performance in US stocks seen in over 50 years. His erratic trade policies have stirred market volatility, igniting concerns of an impending economic recession in the US. Tuesday marks the 100th day of Trump's second term, during which the S&P 500 Index has recorded its poorest performance. Since assuming office on January 20th, the S&P 500 Index has cumulatively declined by 7.3%, while the Dow Jones Index has fallen by 6.8%. Trump's tariff policies have notably disrupted the market, particularly following his announcement of "reciprocal" tariffs on approximately 90 countries in April, which triggered significant fluctuations. Despite some recovery since then, the overall market performance remains subdued.
