Panic correction on the stock markets: Dax and Nikkei collapse!

Stock markets in Asia suffered massive losses on Monday morning, causing great concern among investors. The Nikkei index in Tokyo temporarily fell by more than eight percent and closed at its lowest level since October 21, 2023. The stock exchanges in China, Hong Kong and Australia also showed significant losses.

In addition, oil prices fell to their lowest level since April 2021. The situation continued with a significant decline on the European stock exchanges, where the Dax fell by ten percent at the start of trading. This dramatic development is primarily due to the uncertainties surrounding Trump's customs handling. Investors are therefore increasingly withdrawing from riskier investments, which is further exacerbating the situation.

Political reactions and negotiations

Meanwhile, the EU will negotiate an appropriate response to the crisis on Monday. However, there is no easing in sight in the tariff conflict between the USA and the European Union, which is putting additional pressure on the markets. These uncertainties are leading to a tense atmosphere on the stock markets, which is reflected in the losses of the last few days.

These developments are not only reflected in Asia, but also influence the mood on the European markets. According to [derStandard], the news agency reported that ongoing tariff fears have led to a decline in prices and the market situation is considered worrying. Similarly, [manager magazin] highlights that the uncertainties surrounding the US-Europe tariff dispute are having a direct impact on markets, with Dax and Nikkei particularly affected.
