U.S. stocks surged sharply at one point due to optimistic expectations for trade negotiations, but White House officials stated that there would be no tariff exemptions implemented in the near future and confirmed that high tariffs are imminent, leading to a reversal in market sentiment. The U.S. stock market experienced another &#34;roller coaster&#34; decline, with the market capitalization of the seven major U.S. tech stocks dropping over $5 trillion from their peak. Expectations of an economic recession pressured oil prices, while safe-haven sentiment once again strengthened the yen and Swiss franc.
U.S. Treasury Secretary Mnuchin stated that up to 70 countries are seeking negotiations. According to the Global Times, Mnuchin mentioned that discussions are ongoing regarding which regions to prioritize for tariff agreements, and revealed that U.S. President Trump will participate in the negotiations. Hopes for a trade agreement boosted U.S. stocks significantly in early trading on Tuesday.
However, subsequent news sharply deteriorated the recently improved risk appetite. During the midday briefing, the White House Press Secretary mentioned that the U.S. would impose high tariffs on other countries this Wednesday, which was later confirmed by the White House to the media; according to CCTV, U.S. Trade Representative Lighthizer stated that Trump has made it clear that there will be no tariff exemptions in the near future; according to Xinhua News Agency, Canada announced that its reciprocal tariffs on U.S. automobiles would also take effect on Wednesday.
The tariff war among major economies is escalating, and recession warnings are sounding again, causing U.S. stocks to accelerate their decline in the afternoon session, with all three major indices turning negative by the end of the day. When the indices hit their daily lows, the Dow Jones Industrial Average plummeted over 2,300 points from its earlier high, while the S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq, which had risen over 4% in the morning, fell by 3% and nearly 3.5%, respectively. High tariffs are expected to impact key supply chain regions for companies, with Apple's stock dropping 11% from its daily high by the end of the session.
The U.S. Treasury market is still undergoing &#34;de-leveraging, seeking cash,&#34; with the yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury bond rising for two consecutive days. The tariff tensions have accelerated the sell-off of corporate bonds, with credit spreads reaching 472 basis points, just a step away from the dangerous threshold of 500 basis points.

The Bloomberg Commodity Index plummeted during the day, with WTI crude oil prices falling back below $60. Oil prices have dropped for four consecutive days, hitting a four-year low, and at one point fell over 4%. Spot gold turned to decline during the session, failing to rebound; silver futures rose over 3% before turning to decline; copper futures rose over 4% before briefly dropping over 2%.
