Trade Tariffs Increase Instability And Lower The Market Value Of Tech Giants Since Trump Took Office, Study Says

Since Donald Trump’s inauguration on January 20, the value of the market of companies listed on American stock exchanges has fallen by US$ 9.81 trillion, according to a survey by the consultancy Elos Ayta. This decline is associated with recent economic measures, such as the imposition of tariffs on imports, which increased uncertainty in the financial market, according to the Metropoles website.

Two Days of Trump, US$ 6 Trillion Lost

On the trading days of April 3 and 4, losses reached US$ 6.08 trillion, primarily affecting the technology sector. The so-called “magnificent seven” — a group that includes companies like Nvidia, Apple, and Microsoft — led the decline.

Major Losses:

Nvidia: US$ 183 billion on April 4; cumulative loss of US$ 1.07 trillion
Apple: US$ 533 billion since the beginning of 2024
Microsoft: US$ 515 billion year-to-date

Experts point out that the adoption of new import tariffs contributed to the instability scenario, raising concerns over a possible trade war.

“The market reacted brutally,” said Einar Rivero, partner at Elos Ayta. “Investors are suspicious of the impact of the new trade policies.”

With trillions evaporating in market value, the start of Trump’s new term has generated strong volatility in the markets — with effects that may extend beyond the United States.

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt has ceased to be a climatic phenomenon and has become a biological system that feeds on itself, with 8,000 kilometers in length, 37 million tons of algae, and scientists confirm that it is now permanent.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

Engineers had to pour concrete mixed with tons of ice throughout entire nights in the Dubai desert to erect the Burj Khalifa; any carelessness could clog the pipes half a mile high.

The James Webb telescope spotted a planet 700 light-years from Earth with mornings full of sand clouds and nights with clear skies, the temperature difference between the two hemispheres reaches an impressive 170 degrees.

On the coast of Guyana, neighboring Brazil, ExxonMobil has begun drilling oil wells with an automated system that practically removes human hands from controlling the drill.

Santa Catarina invests R$ 1 billion against the risk of El Niño, accelerates work on dams, cleans rivers, delivers 641 bridges and 126 water trucks, and prepares 295 municipalities for heavy rains, floods, and landslides still in 2026.

Find out which are the 5 busiest bus stations in Brazil and what they offer to travelers.
