President Trump's Tariff Policies Cause Market Turmoil

On April 4, 2025, President Donald Trump’s aggressive tariff policies sent shockwaves through global financial markets, triggering widespread turmoil and stoking fears of an economic downturn. The administration’s decision to impose sweeping tariffs—ranging from a 10% baseline on all imports to targeted rates as high as 50% on key trading partners like China, Canada, and Mexico—marked a dramatic escalation in Trump’s long-standing pledge to reshape U.S. trade. While the president touts these measures as a means to boost domestic manufacturing and reduce the $1.2 trillion goods trade deficit, the immediate fallout has been a steep market sell-off, with the S&P 500 plunging nearly 5% in a single day, its worst performance since June 2020.

Rohit Sharma-Suryakumar Yadav Lead Mumbai Indians to Dominant 9-Wicket Victory Over CSK

In a commanding display of batting, Mumbai Indians (MI) secured a crushing 9-wicket victory over Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the 2025 IPL season. The match, played at the Wankhede Stadium, saw MI successfully chase down CSK's total of 176/5 with ease, in just 15.4 overs.
CSK won the toss and chose to bat first, but Mumbai's bowlers, led by Jasprit Bumrah (2/25), kept a tight grip on the scoring. Despite strong contributions from Ravindra Jadeja (53*) and Shivam Dube (50), who steadied the innings after a few early wickets, CSK could not accelerate as expected. Bumrah's precision in the death overs was instrumental in preventing CSK from posting a total above 180, which seemed achievable in the early stages of their innings. Chasing a modest total, Mumbai Indians got off to a steady start with Rohit Sharma anchoring the innings. Rohit played an outstanding knock, scoring 76 runs off 45 balls, finding the boundary consistently and providing the platform for a comfortable chase. His timing and placement were impeccable, handling the CSK bowlers with ease. Suryakumar Yadav joined him at the crease and continued the momentum, playing an explosive knock of 68* off just 30 balls. Together, they put on a 114-run partnership for the second wicket, sealing the win with 25 balls to spare. Suryakumar's brilliance in finding gaps and hitting big shots finished the match in style. This dominant performance helped Mumbai Indians assert their supremacy over CSK, maintaining their position as one of the strongest teams in IPL 2025.
