Dow Jones Industrial Average sinks 550 points as tariffs kick off
Wednesday, 5 March 2025 01:59 WIB | MARKET UPDATE |DOW JONES

The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) tumbled 700 points at its lowest on Tuesday as investor sentiment hits the floorboards. After the initial sticker shock on new import taxes, markets recovered some footing, but the Dow Jones remains down around 550 points.
United States (US) President Donald Trump has kicked off his second, bigger global trade war by imposing a stiff 25% tariff on all imported goods from Canada and Mexico, as well as adding on an additional 10% import tax on China, bringing China's tariff total to 20%. Further tariff packages are still in the oven, with the Trump administration planning to target aluminum, steel, agriculture goods, foreign cars, copper, and lumber.
Rate markets are now pricing in around 100 bps of interest rate cuts through the end of the year, with the first quarter-point rate trim expected in June. ADP Employment Change figures are due on Wednesday and will serve as a preview of this Friday's upcoming Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) jobs report. Markets will be watching economic figures with renewed anxiety as investors hunker down for negative impacts from President Trump's sweeping tariff packages.
Dow Jones news
The overwhelming majority of securities listed on the Dow Jones are in the red on Tuesday, with slim recovery gains in UnitedHealth (UNH) and Nvidia (NVDA), which gained around 1.8% and 1.1%, respectively. UNH is trading back above $475 per share, while Nvidia is grappling with $115.

Boeing (BA) tumbled 5.5% to $160 per share, with American Express (AXP) and 3M (MMM) falling around 4.5% apiece, to $281 and $146 per share, respectively. Entire industry sectors are falling back in their own reactions to tariffs, with key losses concentrated in financials.
