April was one of the wildest months in recent memory for markets, capped off by a key data release that showed the economy shrank last quarter for the first time in years.

U.S. stocks stumbled on Wednesday after data showed the economy contracted in the first quarter for the first time in three years, underscoring concerns about the impact of U.S. tariffs and the global trade war on worldwide growth.

The US economy contracted at the start of the year for the first time since 2022 on a monumental pre-tariffs import surge and more moderate consumer spending, a first snapshot of the ripple effects from President Donald Trump’s trade policy.

U.S. markets pushed into the green by market close on Tuesday, shaking off gloomy economic sentiment. The Dow climbed 300 points, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq each added about 0.6%.
