Wall Street kicked off the week like a hungover intern — stumbling out of bed, ignoring the calendar, and pretending Friday’s good vibes never existed.

The S&P 500 snapped a 9-day win streak. The Dow tripped on its own shoelaces. And the Nasdaq? Let’s just say tech didn't dodge this tariff tantrum.

🧨 Tariffs Crash the Party (Again)

šŸ”¹ Trump decided Sunday was a great time to start a trade war sequel — this time targeting foreign movies with a 100% tariff. Hollywood execs are now officially spiraling.

šŸ”¹ Oh, and he also said he’s not talking to China this week. That optimism about trade talks? Yeah, never mind.

šŸ“Œ Why It Matters:

  • Trade optimism had powered recent gains. This just popped the balloon šŸŽˆ

  • Movie stocks (šŸ“‰ $NFLX, $DIS, $WBD) took a hit — and they weren’t the only ones.

šŸ“‰ Market Snapshot:

S&P 500: -0.64% šŸ”» (Streak snapped after 9 green days)

Dow Jones: -0.24% šŸ“‰ (First red day in 10)

Nasdaq: -0.74% āš ļø (Tech traders suddenly remembering tariffs exist)

Dollar Index: -0.27% šŸ’µ (Risk-off mode activated)

Oil: -2% šŸ›¢ļø (OPEC says ā€œmore supplyā€; market says ā€œcool, we’re not driving anywayā€)
