Market Reacts to Tariff Announcements

As the world watches closely, major U.S. equities experienced significant declines in Wednesday's premarket trading.

Investors are on edge, awaiting the impact of these measures on the global economy.

Economic Indicators in Focus

Today's trading session is not just about tariffs. The market is also bracing for key economic data releases, including employment figures, mortgage applications, and new purchase orders for manufactured goods. These indicators could provide further direction for the markets amidst the current volatility.
