    Stocks Slump Globally as Trump Fuels Recession Fears with Tariffs<\/h2>\n

    Global stock markets experienced a significant decline today as investor concerns grew over a potential economic slowdown, exacerbated by U.S. President Donald Trump’s refusal to rule out a recession tied to his aggressive tariff policies. U.S. bond yields dropped, with the 2-year note falling to 3.898% and the 10-year note to 4.225%, reflecting a flight to safety amid fears that tit-for-tat tariffs with major trading partners like China, Canada, and Mexico could disrupt global trade, raise prices, and slow economic growth. This market unrest highlights broader uncertainties about the U.S. economy under Trump’s trade strategy.<\/p>\n
