US President Donald Trump announced a wave of new tariffs on 2 April, which he branded ‘Liberation Day’, arguing they would help boost the US economy. At this stage, uncertainty around trade policy, global growth, and inflation remains very high. It is impossible to predict exactly when markets will start to stabilise, and this has triggered a huge increase in volatility across financial markets globally. This uncertainty is highlighted by the Cboe Volatility Index (VIX), which recently closed at its highest level since April 2020, during the early months of the Covid-19 pandemic. The MSCI ACWI index dropped by 11% between 2 April and 8 April 2025. For many indices, it was the worst week since the Covid days, while over $5Trn in market value was wiped off the S&P 500 in the last two sessions of the week.
