Dell Technologies Plunges 5.62% Amid Trade Tensions

On April 4, 2025, Dell Technologies' stock price dropped by 5.62% in pre-market trading, marking a significant decline for the technology giant.

Dell Technologies' stock price experienced a notable decline, driven by broader market sell-offs and escalating trade tensions. The U.S. stock futures extended losses, with the S&P 500 and Dow Jones contracts down about 2.5% and Nasdaq 100 futures sinking 2.8%. This deepened the sell-off from the previous session, pushing the S&P 500 into correction territory. The trade war escalated further as China’s finance minister announced a 34% tariff on all U.S. imports, mirroring the levy imposed by President Trump. Investor anxiety is mounting over the economic fallout, with many economists warning of higher prices, slower growth, and a potential recession.

Megacaps were sharply lower in pre-market trading, including Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia, Amazon, Meta, Alphabet, and Tesla. The Nasdaq has dropped 4.5%, the S&P 500 is down 3.3%, and the Dow has declined 2.5% for the week. The main stock market index in the United States decreased 676 points or 11.49% since the beginning of 2025. The United States Stock Market Index is expected to trade at 5575.36 points by the end of this quarter, according to global macro models and analysts' expectations. Looking forward, it is estimated to trade at 5569.78 in 12 months' time.
