Trump's tariff plans are sending stocks tumbling and sparking fears of a global economic downturn. Follow along for live updates on the Dow Jones Industrial Average, Nasdaq and S&P 500.

A stock market rout, historic in scale, has swept across the globe wiping more than $10 trillion off major markets, as concerns about the economic damage unleashed by U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs spiral.

US stocks were extremely volatile Monday as traders searched for any sign that President Donald Trump’s tariffs could be negotiated or halted.

A brutal day for markets around the world added to the pain of last week’s turmoil. The S&P 500 ended nearly 18 percent below its February peak on Monday.

The big question as global stock selloffs point to another week of plunging markets in the US is how much pain President Donald Trump is prepared to inflict to test his tariff theories.

Most major stock indexes ended a turbulent Monday lower as U.S. President Donald Trump showed no sign of easing up on his global trade war, while U.S. Treasury yields rebounded.

The report, that President Trump was considering a pause on his expansive tariffs, spread on social media and was amplified by CNBC and Reuters. The White House called the claim “fake news.”
