Market Whiplash: How Trump's Policies Are Driving Tech's Wild Ride

A Tale of Morning Panic and Afternoon Recovery

URGENT Editor's Note:

Tech Giants Defy Market Turmoil as GDP Contracts for First Time in Three Years

In a stunning display of market resilience, major tech stocks staged a remarkable comeback Wednesday despite the first GDP contraction in three years. As the S&P 500 reversed a steep 2% morning decline, something unprecedented happened in the relationship between Trump's policies and market movement that has Wall Street veterans scratching their heads.

While Microsoft reports an 18% profit surge and Meta beats all expectations, a shocking revelation from Nvidia's rare "sell" rating suggests a major shift could be coming to the AI boom. But it's what happened next - revealed in a Chinese social media post about U.S. trade negotiations - that could completely reshape the tech landscape. What do the insiders know that we don't?

In a dramatic display of how sensitive markets have become to Trump administration policies, Wednesday's trading session showcased the increasing influence of presidential announcements on market direction. The S&P 500 and major tech stocks executed a stunning intraday reversal, recovering from steep morning losses after signs emerged of potential flexibility in Trump's tariff stance.

Morning Plunge on Economic Data

Markets initially tumbled after GDP data showed a 0.3% contraction - the first negative reading in three years. The S&P 500 dropped more than 2% in early trading, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq faced even steeper declines. However, what happened next demonstrated the market's hair-trigger response to Trump policy signals.

The Trump Effect: Afternoon Recovery

Stocks dramatically reversed course after a Chinese state-affiliated social media account suggested the U.S. was reaching out to negotiate on tariffs. The S&P 500 closed up 0.1% after being down over 2%, while the Dow extended its longest winning streak of 2025 with a 0.3% gain.

Just three hours later, the NASDAQ surged 12% after he announced a tariff pause.

Investors who followed his advice made a huge gain in a single day.

For those paying attention, he's now signaling an even bigger move for Step 2….

Tech Giants Weather the Storm

Despite the morning volatility, major tech companies demonstrated remarkable resilience:

  • Microsoft reported an 18% profit jump to $25.8 billion
  • Meta beat expectations with $42.3 billion in revenue
  • Nvidia, despite receiving a rare sell rating, recovered most of its early losses

The New Market Reality

"This is Biden's Stock Market, not Trump's," the president posted on social media after the GDP data release. "Tariffs will soon start kicking in, and companies are starting to move into the USA in record numbers. Our Country will boom, but we have to get rid of the Biden 'Overhang.'"

Looking Ahead

As markets digest these rapid shifts, investors are learning to watch not just economic data and earnings reports, but also Trump's social media feeds and policy statements, which increasingly appear to have the power to reverse market direction within hours.

The day's trading pattern suggests a new market dynamic where initial reactions to economic data can be quickly overshadowed by policy developments and negotiations, particularly regarding trade and tariffs. This creates both challenges and opportunities for investors trying to navigate what's becoming an increasingly policy-driven market.

Donald Trump just won the election resoundingly. And already, in the first few hours after the news, Bitcoin has skyrocketed. Hitting all-time highs on the first day after the election. But that’s just the start …

Juan Villaverde called the top and bottom of every crypto bull market since 2012. And he says 2025 could be the greatest bull market in crypto history. He believes Bitcoin will go to $150,000 — or more.

But there’s one coin he thinks could go even higher. It’s part of Trump’s special Project Crypto. His plan to make America “the crypto capital of the planet.” This could be his favorite coin.

And it’s definitely one of his vice president’s favorite. Click here to find out more about the coin that makes more than Bitcoin in the 2025 bull market.
