Down 300 points so far, but give it time. The anti-China tariff means the end of big retailers like Amazon and Walmart. That will drag the market further down.

Trump is getting ready to back down and 10% tariffs are not enough to make factories relocate. 10% is just enough to annoy people and increase inflation.

Guessing here but maybe because the market had priced in some response from the EU and it wasn’t worse than what they expected?

European Union officials have approved a fresh set of retaliatory tariffs on U.S. imports.

The duties, some of which would go into effect April 15, would range from 10% to 25% on more than $24 billion worth of goods, including tobacco, motorcycles, poultry, steel and aluminum.

Many of these countries barely had any tariffs to begin with. Hopefully he will just point to their low tariffs, claim a "win," and call of this insanity.
