Investors face historic market rout after U.S. tariffs trigger fourth-worst two-day stock plunge since World War II, wiping out trillions in market value.

Deutsche Bank labels tariff shock as most disruptive event since Bretton Woods, undermining administration’s economic strategy and potentially shifting U.S. global economic leadership.

Trump’s new trade regime imposes up to 46% tariffs, impacting companies with high international exposure in tech, manufacturing, and retail, leading to deteriorating margins and uncertain guidance.
