US stocks were sharply lower Friday as investors digested souring consumer sentiment and inflation data that showed an uptick in one of the Federal Reserve’s key gauges, underscoring the delicate state of the economy as businesses brace for President Donald Trump’s tariffs.
The Dow tumbled 750 points, or 1.77%, on Friday. The broader S&P 500 fell 2.1% and the Nasdaq Composite slid 2.8%.

Wall Street was also grappling with Trump’s announcement on Wednesday of 25% tariffs on all cars shipped into the US, set to go into effect April 3. Trump also announced tariffs on car parts like engines and transmissions, set to take effect “no later than May 3,” according to the proclamation he signed.
Yeah gonna back you on this one, maybe I’m I’ve got a bit too much Scottish blood but the risks involved in it are too high and reliant on an inmate volatility. If ya have the extra cash to spare get a good pair of boots, tools, or equipment which are good investments the difference between a yearly replacement and a bi yearly replacement may very well be 30 bucks.
Also yes I am paraphrasing Sir Terry Pratchett.
