3. Remembering "Limit down" mornings and "circuit breakers"

This is giving me flashbacks to the Great Recession, during which there were a couple of mornings when trading was halted even before it began (or maybe after a second or two) because too many people were trying to sell. Then the NYSE would open for a few minutes, and then trading would be halted, with time-outs ranging from fifteen minutes to an hour or more.

But I've also seen markets recover overnight from extreme after-markets selling the night before. (Though I don't expect that this time).

I'll be watching Asia and Europe tonight.

4. Tariffs he announced were reportedly worse than markets had expected

Apparently market had not anticipated extent of tariffs and expected more moderation but instead he announced higher tariffs for a number of major trading countries at closer to 25% instead of just the 10% that was expected.
