January 20, 2026 United States market crash

The January 20, 2026 United States market crash refers to a sharp, single-day decline in major U.S. stock market indices on January 20, 2026, following a series of tariff threats issued by President Donald Trump against several NATO-allied European nations. Although not considered a long-term crash, the event marked the worst trading day for the S&P 500 since October 2025 and triggered significant volatility across global financial markets. The selloff was led by megacap technology stocks, including Nvidia, Tesla, Amazon, and Alphabet, which saw declines between 3.4% and 4.4%.

2025-2026 United States stock market crash

The 2025-2026 United States stock market crash refers to a period of rapid declines in U.S. financial markets driven by the Trump administration's renewed tariff policies and the bursting of the AI bubble. Major stock indices fell sharply as new tariffs on China, Mexico, and the European Union increased costs for manufacturers, disrupted supply chains, and raised fears of retaliatory trade actions. At the same time, several leading artificial intelligence, semiconductor, and cloud companies experienced steep sell-offs after years of rapid gains, exposing overextended valuations and triggering widespread concerns about excessive speculation in the AI sector. Together, these developments produced one of the most turbulent and closely watched market downturns of the mid-2020s.

US stocks give back some of the rally sparked by Trump's talk of negotiations with Iran

U.S. stock indexes declined, reversing some gains from the previous day after President Trump's announcement of 'productive talks' with Iran. The S&P 500 fell 0.4%, the Dow Jones dropped 84 points (0.2%), and the Nasdaq fell 0.8%. Oil prices rebounded sharply, with Brent crude rising 4.6% and U.S. crude up 4.8%. Bond yields climbed, with the 10-year Treasury yield reaching 4.39%, raising concerns over borrowing costs and economic growth. Gold prices fell to $4,402 per ounce as higher Treasury yields made non-yielding assets less attractive. Markets are reassessing expectations around Federal Reserve interest rate cuts, with some predicting possible hikes due to inflation risks from higher oil prices. Corporate news included Estee Lauder's shares dropping nearly 10% amid merger talks with Puig, while Smithfield Foods saw a 4.3% rise on stronger-than-expected earnings. Markets abroad were mixed, though Asian stocks surged after Trump's Monday remarks.
