Dow Stumbles on Tariff Shockwaves While Nasdaq Rides Trump’s Chip Lifeline – Market Chaos Reigns

Wall Street's split personality disorder flares up again as tariffs slam traditional sectors but tech gets a hall pass.

The Great Divergence

The Dow tanks as trade war shrapnel hits industrial stocks—meanwhile, the Nasdaq catches a bid after DC throws semiconductors a bone. Classic case of 'rules for thee but not for me' in the age of selective capitalism.

Chips Ahoy!

Trump's eleventh-hour carveout proves even protectionists can't resist keeping their iPhones stocked. The market's bipolar reaction exposes how modern portfolios live or die by regulatory whims rather than fundamentals.

Bottom Line

Another day where stocks move on headlines instead of earnings—because who needs financial analysis when you've got presidential tweet drafts moving markets? The algo-traders thank you for the volatility buffet.
