Caterpillar Stock Plummets 13.92% in Two Days Amid China Tariff Fears Trading Volume Ranks 59th

On April 4, 2025, Caterpillar (CAT) experienced a significant decline, with its stock price dropping by 5.78% over two consecutive days, resulting in a total decrease of 13.92%. The trading volume for the day was 20.84 billion, ranking 59th in the market.

Caterpillar's stock price has been under pressure due to concerns over retaliatory tariffs imposed by China. These tariffs are expected to impact the company's global construction operations, leading to extended losses for the stock.

Caterpillar, along with other companies with substantial exposure to the Chinese market, has been adversely affected by the recent trade tensions. The imposition of retaliatory tariffs by China has led to a significant drop in the stock prices of companies that rely heavily on the Chinese market for their operations.
