Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>) is the latest investment bank to predict a recession for the U.S. economy over the next 12 months, with the odds being raised to 45%, from its previous prediction of 35%. Amidst <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44662164/us-stock-futures-slump-following-massive-tariff-induced-selloff-experts-warn-of-a-brewing-great-depression-like-pattern">all this chaos and uncertainty</a>, however, there is a silver lining for the tech giants and their executives.
What Happened: On Sunday night, Goldman Sachs published a note raising its recession probability forecast from 35% to 45%, citing the sharp tightening of financial conditions and a spike in policy uncertainty. Just a month ago, it raised the probability from 20% to 35%, stating that economic fundamentals weren&#8217;t as robust as in the prior years.

The bank now follows JPMorgan Cash &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>), which <a href="http://benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/04/44645681/jpmorgan-raises-recession-risk-to-60-as-largest-us-tax-hike-in-60-years-hits-global-economy">made a similar prediction last week</a>, hiking the odds of a global recession to 60%.
While none of this sounds good, Jefferies Financial Group Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JEF#NYSE">JEF</a>) analysts believe that this, along with the Donald Trump administration&#8217;s tariffs, can be a &#8216;Free Hall Pass&#8217; for tech companies to revamp their financial guidance.
According to the firm&#8217;s lead analyst Brent Thill, companies can use this crisis to aim for &#8216;lower estimates that are more achievable and can help boost investor sentiments and stock performance,&#8217; as <a href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/tariffs-free-hall-pass-to-reset-big-tech-profit-guidance-2025-4">reported</a> by Business Insider. 
The firm&#8217;s analysts then cut their Price Targets for Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), and Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), among 29 leading tech stocks.
Why It Matters: The analysts noted that besides the obvious first and second order impacts of the tariffs, both Meta and Amazon generate significant revenue from Chinese advertisers trying to reach global audiences, which is now under pressure.
However, analysts have asked the tech giants to use this as an opportunity to reset their guidance to move conservative figures, something that better reflects new market realities.

Parsons Lands $24M Navy Contract to Advance US Biological Defense Research

Billionaire Investor Bill Ackman has criticized Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick of having a conflict of interest and being &#8220;indifferent&#8221; toward the stock market selloff induced by the introduction of tariffs because of the latter&#8217;s fund, Cantor Fitzgerald LP&#8217;s exposure to bond investors.
What Happened: Ackman, the CEO of Pershing Square Capital Management, L.P., has slammed. Lutnick, who was the former chairman and CEO of Cantor Fitzgerald L.P. by stating that &#8220;He (Lutnick) profits when our economy implodes.&#8221;
This aligns with the inverse relationship between stocks and bonds during economic crises. When stocks crash, investors often move capital into bonds, driving up bond prices and lowering yields.
As the markets continue to crash after President Donald Trump&#8217;s tariffs, the 10-year Treasury yield has fallen to 3.90%. It is the first time that the yield has fallen to this level since before Trump was elected last year in October. Meanwhile, the two-year yield has dropped to 3.45%.
Cantor Fitzgerald, on the other hand, has been a major player in bond markets since its founding in 1945.
&#8220;It's a bad idea to pick a Secretary of Commerce whose firm is levered long fixed income. It's an irreconcilable conflict of interest,&#8221; added Ackman in his post.

Why It Matters: According to Cantor Fitzgerald&#8217;s 13F filings, it holds positions in 275 publicly traded equity and debt securities, but has no significant exposure to bonds or bond-linked ETFs. However, the company is long bonds indirectly via these channels.
<ul>
<li>Primary Dealer Role: As one of the 24 primary dealers, Cantor Fitzgerald must participate in Treasury auctions and maintain an active market, necessitating long bond positions not reported on 13F.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Long Bond Fund: Cantor Fitzgerald&#8217;s Ireland-based Long Bond Fund invests in longer-dated Eurozone government bonds, representing a separate long bond position not typically on the 13F.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Infrastructure Fund: The Cantor Fitzgerald Infrastructure Fund allocates 30% to public infrastructure equity and debt, but specific holdings aren&#8217;t in the 13F, as 70% is in private investments.</li>
</ul>
Furthermore, Ackman, in replies to his post, claims that his position is &#8220;long America,&#8221; aligning his interests with the country's economic growth, while portraying Lutnick as &#8220;short America&#8221; due to his bond-heavy stance.
President Donald Trump&#8216;s post-market close tariff announcement on Wednesday ignited a dramatic market selloff on Thursday, exacerbated by China&#8217;s retaliatory measures on Friday.
As of Friday, the S&amp;P 500 was nearing the bear market zone as it closed 17.46% lower than its previous record high of 6,147.43 points. Dow was 14.99% down from its 52-week high of 45,073.63 points, whereas the Nasdaq 100 was already in the bear market territory, 21.71% lower from its high of 22,222.61 points.
Price Action: The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) and Invesco QQQ Trust ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), which track the S&amp;P 500 index and Nasdaq 100 index, respectively, slumped in premarket on Monday. SPY was down 3.39% and QQQ declined 3.64%.
On Friday, the SPY closed down 5.85% to $505.28, while the QQQ ended 6.21% lower to $422.67, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a> data.

Bill Ackman Slams Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick For Ignoring Stock Market Crash: 'He And Cantor Are Long Bonds'

On Monday, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo cautioned that President Donald Trump's tariff policy could pose significant near-term risks to semiconductor stocks, highlighting that even Apple Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44109824/apples-500b-u-s-investment-analyst-calls-it-completely-unrealistic-questions-where-the-money-will-come-from">$500 billion U.S. investment</a> couldn&#8217;t secure leniency from the administration's aggressive approach.
What Happened: Kuo took to X and expressed concerns about the impact of the Trump administration&#8217;s potential semiconductor tariff policies. 
"I'm taking a cautious stance on the upcoming semiconductor tariff policy under the Trump administration. Investors should stay alert to the near-term risks surrounding semiconductor stocks," Kuo said.
He indicated that the administration's reliance on tariffs as a tool to bring manufacturing back to the U.S. might lead to challenges for semiconductor companies.
Kuo pointed to Apple as a key case study in this context. Despite its substantial efforts to shift its supply chain away from China during Trump's first term and its $500 billion investment in the U.S., Apple did not escape tariffs.&nbsp;

"You'd think such efforts would earn some leniency, but they didn't," Kuo explained.
This raised critical questions about the approach to semiconductor tariffs, particularly for non-U.S. companies. "Have non-U.S. semiconductor companies done more than Apple to reduce their reliance on China in recent years?" Kuo asked. "Have they outpaced Apple in U.S. investments? Do these non-U.S. companies have stronger ties to the U.S. government than Apple?"

In response to a comment asking about the long-term trend of U.S. semiconductor manufacturing, Kuo suggested that while the short-term risks were clear, companies that align strategically with the U.S. could benefit in the long run.&nbsp;
"Winners and losers are another big deal. Before that, can see if the semi companies that invested in U.S. earlier can earn some leniency in the upcoming semi tariffs," Kuo added.

Why It Matters: Last week, Trump unveiled a new <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/04/44626421/trumps-reign-of-tariffs-unleashes-d-day-on-wall-street-analyst-warns-of-stagflation-risk">wave of reciprocal tariffs</a>. The tariff strategy involved country-specific rates, such as 34% on Chinese goods and 32% on imports from Taiwan, alongside a flat 10% tariff on products from other nations.
However, the White House said that some items, like auto parts and steel, which are already facing separate tariffs, as well as energy and mineral resources not domestically available, would be exempt from this new policy.
Semiconductors also <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44631606/trumps-tariff-exemptions-include-semiconductors-pharmaceuticals-oil-and-more">fall under the exemption list</a>, but according to Jefferies analysts, that&#8217;s likely because Trump is contemplating targeted tariffs for that sector.
While these measures aren&#8217;t directly affecting chips just yet, the analysts warned on Friday that they could still lead to rising costs for electronic devices and tech products that rely on semiconductors, thereby dampening overall demand.
Jefferies believes these tariffs will continue to put downward pressure on semiconductor stocks, including Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>), and Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>)— all of which rely heavily on chip manufacturing from Taiwan Semicndctr Mnufctrng Co. Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>).
Price Action: On Friday, Nvidia shares fell 7.36%, AMD dropped 8.57%, Broadcom (AVGO) slipped 5.01%, and TSMC declined 6.27%, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

Ming-Chi Kuo Warns Semiconductor Stocks Face Near-Term Risks Under Trump Tariff Policy: Even Apple's $500 Billion US Investment Didn't Buy It Leniency

The cryptocurrency market has been caught up in President Donald Trump&#8217;s <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/04/44660141/odds-of-recession-federal-reserves-emergency-rate-cuts-soar-on-crypto-based-polymarket-as-tariff-fears-pummel-markets">tariff-induced recession fears</a>, with many coins falling sharply from their highs since the Republican took over the White House.
What happened: Since Trump's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/01/43085323/trump-sworn-in-as-47th-president-declares-golden-age-of-america-begins-right-now">inauguration</a>, the total cryptocurrency market capitalization has shrunk by nearly 32%, with more than a trillion dollars in investors' wealth wiped out.
It's, therefore, hardly surprising that most coins, including the mega-cap ones, have traded in the red since his arrival.
Market barometer Bitcoin retreated from its $100,000 milestone, falling over 24% since Trump became president. This is despite the POTUS signing an executive order to <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/03/44183572/trump-establishes-strategic-bitcoin-reserve-funded-by-forfeited-assets-i-made-the-promise">create a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve</a>.

Altcoins such as Ethereum, Solana, XRP, and Cardano, all of which Trump touted as being<a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/03/44068814/bitcoin-ethereum-dogecoin-rally-on-trumps-strategic-crypto-reserve-announcement-cardano-x"> included in America&#8217;s cryptocurrency hoard</a>, have bled heavily, with SOL and ETH down more than 50% since the presidential inauguration.
Memecoin titan Dogecoin shed 61% of its value, becoming the biggest loser among large-cap cryptocurrencies.
The sentiment worsened after Elon Musk <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/03/44554819/elon-musk-dismisses-dogecoin-use-by-government-clears-the-air-on-doge-department-two-very-different-things">ruled out the idea</a> of the U.S. government using Dogecoin for any purpose,&nbsp; a dampener for many enthusiasts, especially following the establishment of the Department of Government Efficiency.&nbsp;
On the brighter side, Tron's native token, TRX, has lost only about 2% since Trump assumed office.

The apparel industry is bracing for a significant impact as tariffs are set to increase the cost of clothing, potentially ending the era of cheap garments.
What Happened: The Trump administration&#8217;s tariffs are poised to hit the clothing industry particularly hard<a href="https://www.marketplace.org/2025/04/04/tariffs-could-bring-an-end-to-the-days-of-cheap-clothing/">, reported</a> Marketplace on Monday. The majority of clothes and shoes purchased in the U.S. are imported, with a significant portion coming from Southeast Asian countries. These imports are soon to be subject to tariffs exceeding 30%.
When President Trump increased&nbsp;taxes on imports from China&nbsp;during his first term, many apparel companies shifted their operations, particularly to Vietnam, as noted by David Swartz of Morningstar. However, with the new&nbsp;tariffs targeting all U.S. trading&nbsp;partners, companies have no place to escape. &#8220;They&nbsp;cannot move production to other&nbsp;countries to avoid a tariff&nbsp;in one country in any&nbsp;realistic time frame,&#8221; Swartz said.

Stephen Lamar, head of the American Apparel and Footwear Association, ruled out the possibility of moving garment manufacturing to the U.S., citing a lack of labor, skill sets, infrastructure, and capabilities to scale up production. Denise Green at Cornell University added, &#8220;We&#8217;re not going to be able to buy clothing as inexpensively as we have in the past.&#8221;
Why It Matters: <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44656680/trumps-10-tariff-on-most-imports-is-finally-here-taking-effect-saturday">The new tariffs</a>, part of President Trump&#8217;s strategy to stimulate domestic investment by companies seeking to evade import taxes, have sparked a significant market reaction, escalating U.S. duties to their highest level in over a century.
The tariffs have stirred global markets, leading to a <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/media/25/04/44657800/trumps-tariffs-stir-global-markets-wall-street-loses-2-trillion-and-more-this-week-in-economics">loss of $2 trillion</a> on Wall Street. <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/04/44660475/more-than-50-nations-ready-to-revisit-tariffs-says-white-house-advisor">Over 50 countries</a>, targets of reciprocal tariffs by the U.S., have since reached out to begin negotiations on the high import tariffs, according to the White House.

U.S. stock futures fell sharply on Monday after two days of decline last week. Futures of major benchmark indices were over 3% lower in premarket trading.
The selloff that started on Thursday intensified on Friday as China introduced its retaliatory measures to U.S. tariffs. As of Friday, the S&amp;P 500 was nearing the bear market zone as it closed 17.46% lower than its previous record high of 6,147.43 points.
Dow was 14.99% down from its 52-week high of 45,073.63 points, whereas the Nasdaq 100 was already in the bear market territory, 21.71% lower from its high of 22,222.61 points.
The hopes of a Fed &#8216;put&#8217; remained on standby as Jerome Powell said Friday that "It is too soon to say what will be the appropriate path for monetary policy.&#8221;
The 10-year Treasury bond yielded 3.93% and the two-year bond was at 3.51%. However, the CME Group's FedWatch <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">tool</a>&#8216;s projections rose, showing markets pricing a 48.4% likelihood of the Federal Reserve easing the current interest rates in its May meeting.

The SPY was down 4.01% to $485.03, while the QQQ declined 4.26% to $404.65, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a> data.
Cues From Last Session:
U.S. stocks closed Friday lower, with all sectors in the red. Financials, energy, and information technology led the S&amp;P 500 sector declines.
Friday&#8217;s economic data showed strong March nonfarm payroll growth grew 228,000, exceeding expectations, though the unemployment rate unexpectedly rose to 4.2%, and average hourly earnings increased as predicted by 0.3% monthly, and 3.8% year-over-year.
The S&amp;P 500 Index recorded its worst weekly decline since March 2020. With the S&amp;P 500 plunging 10.5% over Thursday and Friday, this marks only the fourth time such a sharp two-day drawdown has occurred in modern market history—joining October 1987, September 2008, March 2020, and now April 2025.

Insights From Analysts:
The S&amp;P 500 and Dow are showing a worrying pattern of steep, consecutive drops, reminiscent of the Great Depression, according to the experts.
Carson Research&#8217;s chief market strategist, Ryan Detrick, noted on X that a 4% drop in the S&amp;P 500 on Monday would be its third straight over 4% loss, a pattern seen only three times before, all during the Great Depression.

Meanwhile, according to Craig Shapiro from 3-Circle Investments by The Bear Traps Report, the absence of this perceived "Trump put" or "Fed put" could trigger a swift and significant market downturn.
Shapiro argues the market sought assurance from Trump or the Fed, but recent events show both safety nets are further away than expected. He predicts Fed intervention only if the Treasury market becomes unstable.
Shapiro warned, "All this being said, the lack of the ‘put' for now means I think we are going to go significantly lower very quickly until UsT market dysfunction starts and the Fed says ‘no mas' because this will eventually bleed into economic activity and exacerbate the slowdown."
Despite growing skepticism, Stephanie Link, the chief investment strategist and the head of investment solutions at Hightower Advisors, said, &#8220;Buy.&#8221;

US Stock Futures Slump Following Massive Tariff-Induced Selloff: Experts Warn Of A Brewing 'Great Depression-Like' Pattern

Tesla Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) Cybertruck, a brainchild of Elon Musk, has been dubbed the auto industry&#8217;s most significant flop in decades, according to a report.
What Happened: The auto industry has seen many infamous flops, including Ford's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) Edsel and Pinto, GM's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) Pontiac Aztek, and the Delorean DMC-12. Now, Musk's Tesla Cybertruck is being added to that list of failures, according to <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/alanohnsman/2025/04/03/elons-edsel-tesla-cybertruck-is-the-auto-industrys-biggest-flop-in-decades/">Forbes</a>. Musk&#8217;s angular pickup truck fell short of his ambitious sales target by a massive 84%, with no signs of a turnaround in sight.
The vehicle&#8217;s sales have drastically underperformed Musk&#8217;s predictions, and its quality reputation has been marred by eight recalls within the past 13 months. Despite Musk&#8217;s ambitious forecast of 250,000 annual sales,&nbsp;Tesla managed to sell just under 40,000 Cybertrucks in 2024, its inaugural year on the market. The sales trend has continued to dip in 2025, contributing to a 13% decline in Tesla&#8217;s overall sales in Q1.
Experts explained that the Cybertruck is either too big or doesn&#8217;t meet pedestrian safety regulations in certain countries, limiting its potential for increased sales through exports.
Eric Noble, president of CARLAB, likened the Cybertruck&#8217;s failure to Ford&#8217;s infamous Edsel, stating, &#8220;It's right up there with Edsel&#8221;. &#8220;It&#8217;s&nbsp;a huge swing and a&nbsp;huge miss,&#8221; added Noble. 
The Cybertruck&#8217;s flop is not solely due to poor sales and quality issues but is also attributed to Musk&#8217;s contentious politics and job-cutting role at DOGE, which have incited worldwide Tesla protests.

Why It Matters: Despite Musk&#8217;s claim of over a million reservations for the Cybertruck, Tesla&#8217;s&nbsp;estimates of massive demand has&nbsp;proven to be misguided. The vehicle&#8217;s size and non-compliance with some countries&#8217; pedestrian safety rules have curtailed its potential for overseas sales.&nbsp;Glenn Mercer, the head of Cleveland-based&nbsp;advisory firm GM Automotive, stated, &#8220;They&nbsp;haven't sold a lot and&nbsp;it's unlikely in this case&nbsp;that overseas markets can save&nbsp;them.&#8221;
Further, the Cybertruck&#8217;s sales have been adversely impacted by recall-related fixes, with a starting price of $82,000. Tesla&#8217;s overall sales have also taken a hit this year, with deliveries falling&nbsp;13% in the first quarter&nbsp;to 337,000 units, significantly&nbsp;below consensus expectations of 408,000.
Earlier this year, Ross Gerber, CEO of Gerber Kawasaki Wealth and Investment Management, highlighted Tesla&#8217;s struggling Cybertruck sales in a social media post, noting figures significantly below company projections. &#8220;Tesla has sold only 47k Cybertrucks total according to the recall notice. This is really bad for a product that was supposed to sell 250k units a year,&#8221; Gerber wrote.
Tesla has a momentum rating of 93.32% and a quality rating of 97.03%, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/TSLA" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga&#8217;s Proprietary Edge Rankings</a>.

Is Tesla Cybertruck The Biggest Automotive Blunder In Decades After Ford's Edsel? 'It's A Huge Swing And A Huge Miss,' Says Expert

Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) has been identified as a promising investment option by an analyst, demonstrating resilience amid market volatility. 
What Happened: The streaming giant&#8217;s digital, consumer-facing business model and robust value proposition make it a strong contender even during a recession, <a href="https://seekingalpha.com/article/4773216-netflix-one-of-the-only-fast-growing-tariff-shelters">according</a> to Seeking Alpha analyst YR Research. 
Netflix&#8217;s viewership saw a nearly 8% increase in Q1&#8217;25, indicating strong subscriber and revenue growth. Despite its premium trading, current consensus estimates seem conservative, leading to a $1,000 price target based on a 33x multiple on 2026 earnings, the analyst said.
The company&#8217;s growth is driven by its extensive original programming, superior digital platform, and a robust slate of licensed content. Netflix&#8217;s engagement and viewing figures have surpassed other paid streaming platforms, creating a cycle of content and subscriber growth that competitors find challenging to match.
Over the past decade, Netflix&#8217;s EPS has grown at an impressive&nbsp;41% CAGR, and the stock&nbsp;has returned over 1,300%. The company estimates that it has only captured 40% of the total addressable market, indicating significant growth potential.

Netflix&#8217;s Q1-25 results showed a 7.6% Y/Y increase in Top 10 views, the fastest growth in the company&#8217;s tracking history. The company&#8217;s share of viewing, as measured by Nielsen,&nbsp;reached an all-time high of&nbsp;8.6% in January.
Why It Matters: Global markets have been on a rollercoaster ride due to President Donald <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/media/25/04/44657800/trumps-tariffs-stir-global-markets-wall-street-loses-2-trillion-and-more-this-week-in-economics">Trump'</a><a href="https://in.benzinga.com/media/25/04/44657800/trumps-tariffs-stir-global-markets-wall-street-loses-2-trillion-and-more-this-week-in-economics">s new trade tariffs</a>. The U.S. markets faced a severe downturn as tensions between the U.S. and China escalated following the announcement of new tariffs by President Donald Trump, leading to S&amp;P 500 companies <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44655719/trump-tariffs-erode-5-trillion-in-market-cap-in-2-days-as-china-retaliates-jerome-powell-warns-of-inflation">losing $5 trillion</a> in value.
Meanwhile, U.S. stock futures plunged Sunday night, deepening last week's dramatic selloff as the Biden administration held firm on its aggressive new tariff agenda despite intensifying market backlash.

The tech-heavy Nasdaq-100 took the hardest hit, plunging 807.50 points, or 4.60%, to 16,731.50 at the time of writing.
The U.S. dollar also lost ground, with the Dollar Index slipping 0.23% to 102.79, reflecting growing investor unease as global trade tensions escalate.

Billionaire investor Bill Ackman and CEO of Pershing Square Capital Management, warned Sunday that President Donald Trump&#8216;s sweeping tariff policies are damaging market confidence <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/market-summary/25/04/44660779/sp-500-dow-jones-on-course-to-mimic-rare-consecutive-losses-not-seen-since-the-great-depression-whats-driving-the-fear">during a historic global selloff</a>.
What Happened: &#8220;To state the obvious, it does not help our country&#8217;s and our president&#8217;s negotiating position to be trying to strike deals while our market is collapsing,&#8221; Ackman posted on X. &#8220;Whoever is recommending that idea to President Donald Trump should be fired now.&#8221;
When challenged that a 5% market dip demonstrated U.S. seriousness, Ackman replied, &#8220;It is going to be a lot more than 5%.&#8221;
U.S. stock futures continued plummeting Sunday evening, with Dow futures falling over 1,000 points (3.26%) and Nasdaq futures dropping 4.60%. The selloff follows the S&amp;P 500, tracked by SPDR S&amp;P 500&#8216;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) worst performance since March 2020, plunging 6% Friday and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44659686/stock-futures-tank-dow-sheds-over-1000-points-as-white-house-remains-firm-on-tariffs-trump-says-sometimes-you-have-to-take-medicine">pushing its two-day losses past 10%</a>.

He warned of an &#8220;economic nuclear winter&#8221; if current policies persist, particularly impacting low-income consumers already under economic stress.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has defended the administration&#8217;s stance, attributing the selloff to overvalued technology stocks rather than tariff policy. &#8220;This isn&#8217;t about tariffs, it&#8217;s about a dose of reality in the AI space,&#8221; Bessent claimed.
Trump showed little concern <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44660089/japans-nikkei-futures-halted-hang-seng-crashes-8-8-as-global-market-rout-accelerates-on-tariff-shock-analyst-says-trumps-iphone-only-real-circuit-breaker">about market losses on Sunday</a>, stating, &#8220;I don&#8217;t want anything to go down, but sometimes you have to take medicine to fix something.&#8221;

Bill Ackman Blames Market Collapse On Tariff Timing, Says Trump Advisor 'Should Be Fired Now:' Predicts 'A Lot More Than 5%' Dip

Last week, Donald Trump announced <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/04/44641631/trumps-reciprocal-tariffs-threaten-to-derail-big-techs-billion-dollar-ai-infrastructure-plans-analysts-warn-stargate-was-already-unlikely-to-get-to-that-scale">"reciprocal" tariffs that have</a> caused significant turbulence in global markets, with the stock prices of major U.S. tech companies, known as the &#8220;Magnificent 7,&#8221; plummeting and wiping out nearly $1.8 trillion in market value.
What Happened: On Sunday, Dan Ives, an analyst from Wedbush Securities, warned that Trump&#8217;s tariffs could severely hinder the U.S. tech sector's growth.
Ives underscored the long-term impact of the trade policies, stating, &#8220;Investors know math and the sad reality&#8221; — suggesting the U.S. tech industry could be set back by a decade if these tariffs remain in place.

Trump&#8217;s reciprocal tariff strategy, which includes a 10% universal tariff on all imports and additional duties targeting countries like China, India, and the EU, sparked a massive sell-off in the stock market.

Why It Matters: The tariffs have far-reaching consequences, especially for the U.S. tech sector, which relies heavily on global supply chains. Apple, for example, could see the price of an iPhone 16 Pro Max soar <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/04/44655937/trump-tariffs-could-spike-iphone-prices-to-almost-2300-if-apple-decides-to-pass-on-the-costs-to-buyers">from $1,599 to around $2,300</a>, according to industry analysts.
Furthermore, the tariffs could push tech companies to reconsider their operations and manufacturing locations. While the U.S. government is betting on reshoring jobs, the increasing cost of labor and the slow pace of manufacturing build-outs could mean limited job growth, particularly with increasing automation.
Ives previously pointed out that <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/04/44647999/trumps-tariff-war-could-take-us-tech-industry-back-a-decade-while-china-steam-rolls-ahead-analyst-says">tech earnings would likely decline by 15%</a>, and the price of consumer electronics could rise by up to 50%, burdening American consumers.
Despite a robust U.S. labor market <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44647678/nasdaq-100-enters-bear-market-dow-in-correction-territory-as-traders-anxiously-await-powell-remarks">that added 228,000 jobs in March</a>, escalating trade tensions have cast a shadow over the positive economic momentum.
Comparisons to the infamous Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1930 — which deepened the Great Depression — are fueling concerns about the broader global economic outlook.
