U.S. stocks turned sharply lower in after-hours trading after President Donald Trump announced sweeping new tariffs of at least 10% on imports from all trading partners.

The broad S&P was down 1.8%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was 0.6% lower, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq slid more than 2.4%. Stocks gained during the trading day on Wednesday as investors awaited more clarity from the White House, but lost ground after the closing bell as the president laid out his plans.

The S&P 500 added 37.90 points, 0.7%, to close at 5,670.97. The Dow gained 235.36 points to hit 42,225.32, up about 0.6%, and the Nasdaq tacked on 151.16 points or 0.9% to close at 17,601.05.
