NASDAQ 100 Set for Worst Day Since Trump Tariffs

With roughly one hour left in Friday's regular trading session, the NASDAQ 100 (NDX) is poised to record its worst daily performance since the Trump tariff shock in April 2025.

The index, which tracks the 100 largest non-financial companies listed on the Nasdaq, has surrendered the gains accumulated over the previous two months. The sell-off is broad-based, wiping out the recent bullish momentum.

Early data points to heavy selling pressure across technology and growth stocks, with the decline intensifying through the afternoon. No single catalyst has been cited, but the magnitude of the drop echoes the volatility seen during trade-policy uncertainty earlier this year.
