Hey kids! Imagine the stock market as a giant game of building blocks. Recently, some big changes have made the blocks a little wobbly. President Trump's new taxes on things like steel and aluminum are causing problems.
These taxes, called tariffs, make things more expensive. This worries businesses and investors because it might slow down the economy.
Some experts are even worried about a recession, which is like a long period of economic slowdown. Let's see what's happening:
- Tariffs are causing uncertainty in the market.
- Companies are delaying investments and lowering their predictions.
- The stock market has seen some big price swings.
- Interest rates might stay the same or even go down.
| Company | Change |
|---|---|
| Intel | Up 8.2% |
| Nvidia | Up 1.6% |
| Walmart | Down 0.7% |
