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 United States 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 markets saw modest declines on Tuesday, partially reversing gains from the previous day. The S&P 500 fell 0.4%, the Dow Jones dipped 0.2%, and the Nasdaq lost 0.8%. The volatility followed President Donald Trump's announcement on Monday of potential negotiations with Iran, which had briefly calmed investor concerns about a prolonged conflict in the Middle East disrupting oil markets. However, continued attacks in the region and Iran’s denial of direct talks reignited uncertainty. Brent crude oil and U.S. crude prices rebounded by over 4% after sharp drops the day before. Treasury yields also rose, increasing pressure on financial markets. The 10-year yield rose to 4.39%, while the 2-year reached 3.92%, suggesting shifting market expectations about future Federal Reserve interest rate moves. While earlier in the year rate cuts were anticipated, the spike in oil prices and inflation has led to speculation rates might increase instead. Other market movements included Estee Lauder dropping 9.8% amid merger talks with Puig, while Smithfield Foods stock rose 4.3% on strong earnings. Global markets were mixed, with notable gains in Asia following Trump's remarks.
