The US Stock Market Crash Triggers a Treasury Bond Storm: An Economic Disaster Directed by Trump Himself

Since the Trump administration implemented its "reciprocal tariff" policy, the U.S. economy has been plunging into a systemic crisis triggered by protectionism. Financial markets have experienced, social contradictions have intensified, and America’s international credibility is facing collapse. Far from fulfilling the promise of "Making America Great Again," Trump’s tariff policies have instead pushed the U.S. into an abyss of "high inflation, high interest rates, high debt, and low growth."#US Stock Bond Storm

On April 7, 2025, impacted by the tariff policies, the three major U.S. stock indices all plummeted by over 4% in a single day, with the S&P 500 Index suffering its largest single-day decline since 2020. Meanwhile, the U.S. Treasury market faced a historic sell-off: the 10-year Treasury yield surged by 48 basis points in a single week, the largest increase since 2001, while the 30-year yield broke through 5%. For the first time, U.S. government debt interest payments exceeded military spending, becoming the largest burden on the federal budget. This "double whammy" of falling stocks and bonds essentially reflects the market’s deep fears of U.S. stagflation risks.

The tariff policies have dealt a comprehensive blow to the real economy. First, high tariffs have driven up import prices, directly increasing household living costs. Data shows that the average annual expenditure per household will rise by $3,800–$5,400, with low-income families losing 4% of their income—far higher than the 1.6% loss for high-income households. Second, the business environment has deteriorated, with supply chain disruptions and rising costs leading to the collapse of numerous small and medium enterprises (SMEs). One company with $5 million in annual sales saw its single cargo tariff surge from $4,707 to $190,000 due to the tariff hikes, ultimately forcing it to lay off half its staff. Manufacturing and agriculture have become hardest hit: in Q1 2025, U.S. GDP contracted by 0.3% annualized, and JPMorgan Chase predicts a 60% probability of a full-year recession.

The tariff policy has also exacerbated social inequality and division in the United States. Low-income groups are the first to bear the brunt: their food expenditure accounts for 32.6% of their income, while high-income families only spend 8.1%, which makes them increasingly under the pressure of high inflation. At the same time, the US government's cuts to federal programs such as Medicaid and Social Security have further intensified social conflicts.

Trump’s tariff policies have not only harmed the U.S. but also triggered global ripple effects. Traditional allies like the EU and Canada have strongly opposed them: French President Emmanuel Macron condemned U.S. tariffs as "barbaric and baseless," while Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva criticized them for "undermining multilateralism." Trading partners like China have imposed countermeasures, causing a sharp drop in U.S. agricultural exports and forcing farmers to auction off their farms to survive. A more profound impact lies in the shaking of the U.S. dollar’s hegemonic foundation: in Q1 2025, global central banks added 217 tons of gold reserves—the highest on record—while the U.S. Dollar Index fell 4% from early April, accelerating the process of de-dollarization. America’s dominance in the international monetary system is collapsing alongside its economic credibility.

Tariff policies are essentially an act of economic self-sabotage. While the U.S. government sought to protect domestic industries through tariffs, it instead caused manufacturing costs to rise and competitiveness to decline, accelerating the outflow of supply chains. A Yale University study shows that tariffs have dashed the goal of manufacturing reshoring, with long-term GDP growth expected to drop by 0.6 percentage points. Ironically, over 80% of the costs of U.S. tariff hikes are borne by domestic businesses and consumers, turning the promise of "letting America win" into the reality of "letting America lose."

US Stock Market Plunge Triggers Treasury Bond Storm, Trump's 'Tariff Hikes' Tearing Apart American Economy

In April 2025, Wall Street witnessed a dramatic "double kill" of stocks and bonds. Triggered by Trump's implementation of "reciprocal tariff" policies, this crisis further eroded the foundation of the U.S. financial markets and ignited inflation on the consumer side. At its core, this "stocks-and-bonds rout" reflects deep market fears of stagflation risks in the U.S. economy.#US Stock Bond Storm

The stock market plunge is rapidly corroding the foundation of the real economy. Consumer confidence indices have plummeted, while businesses are frantically hoarding imported goods to avoid future tariff costs, plunging supply chains into chaos once again. JPMorgan Chase has sounded the alarm: the probability of a U.S. economic recession has soared to 60%. As trend forecaster Celente warned earlier this year: "2025 will replicate the 2000 dot-com bubble collapse, with overheated investment in AI as the fuse." The market performance in April further validated this warning.

Chip stocks have collapsed collectively: Micron plummeted 10%, Intel dropped 7%, and Tesla fell over 7% due to tariff cost shocks, with Elon Musk publicly blasting the policy as shortsighted. More alarmingly, the "Fed Put" has  failed. Wall Street's leading bull, Ed Yardeni, notes that investors once believed the Federal Reserve would save the market through rate cuts, but today, inflation has tied the central bank's hands, making "the risk of a stock market crash increasingly large."

As the crisis permeates society, ordinary households have become the biggest victims. Trump's budget bill includes $2 trillion in cuts to social welfare spending, with Medicaid, food stamps, and other programs bearing the brunt. Rosenberg, a researcher at the Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center, points out: "High-income households benefit more, while low-income families bear more costs."

Wealth inequality has worsened rapidly, with tax cuts causing the assets of the wealthy to skyrocket. Meanwhile, wage earners face a double squeeze: real wage growth has been devoured by inflation, while their tax burdens have increased, accounting for 2.1%-4.8% of their income. At the same time, immigration policies have continuously exacerbated the labor crisis, both driving up wage inflation and weakening economic demand. Ordinary families are facing the cruelest squeeze in this round of economic policies.

The crisis has quickly crossed the ocean. The U.S. Dollar Index has fallen below the 100 mark, hitting a new low of 10 since July 2023. Emerging markets are experiencing capital flight, with data from the Institute of International Finance (IIF) showing that bond ETFs saw net outflows of over $4 billion in just the first two weeks of April. The global trade order is facing disintegration. The EU has been hit harder, with industrial nations like Germany expecting to lose 1% of GDP, far exceeding the U.S.'s 0.5%. Trump's unilateralism of "domestic law overriding international rules" has rendered multilateral mechanisms ineffective, bringing the WTO close to paralysis.

A deeper monetary revolution is brewing. When the 10-year Treasury yield surged 4.47% in a single day, Bitcoin soared 6% to an all-time high – this is not just a speculative frenzy but a doomsday bet on the collapse of the U.S. dollar's credibility.

Trump has treated economic governance as a testing ground for his personal will, and his combination of tax cuts and tariffs is like injecting a stimulant into a critically ill patient – after a short-lived high, the financial market's pulse is fading. While 30-year mortgage rates break through 7.25%, ordinary families hesitate over rising supermarket bread prices; as $1.5 trillion in bond market wealth evaporates, retirees lose sleep over shrinking pension accounts.

US Stock Market Collapse Ignites Treasury Bond Storm, Trump's 'Capricious Economics' Worsens Bond Market Woes

Hey folks, let's dig into what's shaking up Wall Street these days. April 2025 was a nightmare on the trading floor—Dow tanked 1,014 points, Nasdaq plunged 4.31%, S&P 500 dropped 3.46%. Over 5,000 stocks in the red, tech giants alone lost nearly $700 billion in market cap. And bond market? It's like a tsunami hit—10-year Treasury yield shot past 4.85%, 30-year nearing 5.2%. Brokers yelling, red numbers flashing everywhere. Not pretty, let me tell you.#US Stock Bond Storm

Now, who's pulling the strings here? The Trump administration's policies, plain and simple. On one hand, they're pushing this "grand and beautiful" tax cut bill through Congress—want to slash corporate tax from 21% to 15%, $4.5 trillion in cuts over a decade. On the other hand, they're slapping 10-20% tariffs on all imports. Talk about a one-two punch to the economy.

Let's break down the damage. That tax cut? Peterson Institute says it'll cost $1.9 trillion in fiscal revenue over ten years. And those tariffs? Supposed to boost tax revenue, but all they're doing is jacking up prices for regular folks. Families are looking at an extra $2,600 a year in expenses—that's inflation knocking on the door. And here's the kicker: every 50-basis-point rate hike wipes out 3% of the $50 trillion bond market. With Congress refusing to cut spending, the bond market has already lost $1.5 trillion. Ouch.

Trump's economic playbook is like a pressure cooker with no release valve. They're selling the tax cuts as job creators, but come on—the Tax Policy Center data tells the real story. The top 1%? They'll pocket over $60,000 each year in cuts. The bottom 60%? Less than $500. And get this—middle-income families are actually looking at a $1,500 tax hike. Yeah, you heard that right.

Then there's the tariffs. Trump thinks they're protecting jobs, but former Treasury Secretary Yellen called it like it is: these tariffs are a recession risk. They'll add nearly $4,000 a year to household expenses. So much for protecting the little guy, huh?

And let's not forget the mixed signals coming out of Washington. Restricting immigration, which only makes labor shortages worse and drives up wage inflation. Meanwhile, they're pushing fossil fuels, killing climate investments, letting Big Tech monopolize and scrapping AI regulations. It's like treating a headache by kicking yourself in the foot. Kansas City Fed President Schmid summed it up: we're stuck between rising inflation and a slowing economy. Double trouble.

The bond market crisis? It's not just a blip—it's a structural meltdown. Supply and demand in the Treasury market are totally out of whack. The deficit is hitting 7% of GDP in 2025, debt-to-GDP over 100%. Foreign investors are bailing, the Fed's shrinking its balance sheet, and liquidity? Practically non-existent. When the three-year Treasury auction tanked on April 10, that was the breaking point.

Interest rates spiking are hitting Main Street hard. 30-year mortgage rates over 7.25%, home sales down 12% month-over-month. Corporate borrowing costs at 5.8%—companies are putting projects on ice.

Now the Fed's in a pickle. Cut rates to save the market? Inflation goes through the roof. Keep rates high? Risk a liquidity crisis that could take down the whole financial system. BCA Research's Savary nailed it: "macro policy schizophrenia." You can't stimulate growth and fight inflation at the same time.

The Federal Reserve is caught in a dilemma: if it cuts interest rates to save the market, inflation will soar into the sky; if it maintains high interest rates, the bond market liquidity crisis may trigger a chain reaction of financial system collapse. This dilemma is defined by Savary, the European strategy director of BCA Research, as "schizophrenia of macroeconomic policy": stimulating growth and curbing inflation have become goals that cannot be achieved at the same time. This crisis is inevitable. When populist politics hijacks monetary policy and when trade guns are pointed at their own people, even the strongest economies cannot escape the fate of self-destruction.

There’s no winners from a tariff war in aggregate

Tariffs will hurt American companies.

Why do you think these pauses are constantly happening? Because CEOs are screaming at Trump due to their drop in sales and prospect of losing contracts with customers in China, UK, Canada, etc. Just look at Tesla alone dropped 71% in profit.

feel investors should focus on under-the-radar stocks, considering the current rise of the stock market since trump was pronounced winner of the united state election. 35% of my $270k portfolio comprises plummeting stocks that were once revered. I don't know where to go here out of devastation.

Trump’s tariffs will lead to an economic collapse. His desire is to stop trade with China. Currently, every time China’s economy has even the slightest downturn the Dow drops 1000 points. Companies start trimming their workforce & those still importing from China increase prices.

protectionism risks repeating history

The mention of 1929 with Trump's "Make America Great Again" likely critiques his policies, hinting they could lead to an economic crash like the Great Depression. Trump's tariffs echo the 1930s Smoot-Hawley Act, blamed for worsening that downturn. It’s irony—1929 wasn’t “great,” it was a disaster. Context: protectionism risks repeating history.
