Global financial markets are reeling as the U.S. tariff war intensifies, sparking a sharp sell-off across America, Asia, and Europe.

The S&P 500 posted its worst Q1 since 2022, Japan's Nikkei 225 plummeted into correction territory, and Europe’s Stoxx 600 sank nearly 2%. President Trump's new "Liberation Day" tariffs—set to launch April 2—have triggered investor panic, fueled by fears of recession and a breakdown in global trade.

From Tokyo’s tumbling chip stocks and a surging yen, to surging Eurozone bond yields amid German defense spending, and growing fears over debt in France and Italy, uncertainty looms large. Meanwhile, Japan is looking for tighter crypto regulations, and Norway is debating lifting ethical bans on defense investments.
