"Dalio Warns of US Debt Crisis; Markets Tumble on Tariff Fears"

On March 3, 2025, U.S. stock markets experienced a decline, with the S&P 500 index dropping 1.76%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average falling 1.48%, and the Nasdaq Composite index decreasing 2.64%. The market downturn was influenced by macroeconomic news, including a warning from Ray Dalio, the founder of the world's most successful hedge fund, Bridgewater Associates. Dalio cautioned the Trump administration about an impending debt crisis within the next three years if the government fails to reduce its deficits. Meanwhile, legendary investor Warren Buffett commented on President Trump's tariff policy, expressing concerns that it could lead to inflation and ultimately harm consumers in the long run.

Based on the market performance, the technology sector, non-essential consumer goods sector, energy sector, and materials sector underperformed the S&P. The utilities sector, healthcare sector, essential consumer goods sector, and real estate sector, however, bucked the trend and rose.

Nvidia's stock plummeted 8.69% on reports of AI chips reaching China, sparking investor concerns over potential regulatory and trade issues.

Broadcom's revenue forecast shortfall led to a 6.05% drop in its stock, while Amazon.com shares declined 3.42% amid sharp volatility and bearish gaps.
