Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq Futures Nosedive: Trump’s Tariff Shock & Amazon’s Earnings Miss Roil Markets

Markets reel as Trump's aggressive trade policies collide with Amazon's earnings stumble—Wall Street's mood sours fast.

Tariff tremors hit futures

Dow, S&P, and Nasdaq futures tanked pre-market after former President Trump unveiled sweeping new tariffs—just as Amazon's underwhelming earnings added fuel to the sell-off. Traders scrambled to price in the double whammy of political risk and tech weakness.

Amazon's growth engine sputters

The e-commerce giant's rare earnings miss sent shockwaves through tech portfolios. Once the unstoppable force of retail, now just another company struggling to justify its valuation. (But hey, at least someone's still buying those Alexa devices—probably with discounted Amazon stock.)

Wall Street's lose-lose scenario

Protectionism or profit warnings—pick your poison. Either way, traders are bracing for volatility as two of market's biggest fears materialize simultaneously. The only winners? Short sellers and popcorn vendors.
