Stocks whipsaw as tariff news triggers TACO trade

Investors may not be fans of stock market volatility, but that doesn't bother President Trump. His back-and-forth trade and tariff war updates have sent stocks on a roller coaster ride since he announced tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China in February.

The stock market's nerve-racking swings include a 19% tumble from mid-February through early April, and a 20% rally since April 9, when Trump paused many reciprocal tariffs that rocked stocks after they were announced on April 2.
