The Nikkei 225 Index plunged 8% to below 30,000 on Monday, hitting its lowest levels since October 2023 as the global selloff triggered by US President Donald Trump's aggressive tariffs and the resulting trade war intensified.

The Trump administration also downplayed the market selloff and dismissed fears of inflation and recession, maintaining that tariffs would push through as planned. President Donald Trump stated on Sunday evening that he isn't deliberately causing the current market sell-off, but remarked, "sometimes you have to take medicine to fix something.
