The stock markets fell on Monday to the third day after US President Donald Trump announced worldwide tariffs last week and nobody comes out unscathed – but some sectors see more volatility than others.
All three major US indices have touched their lowest values on Monday for more than a year in early trade before the S&P 500 and the Dow Jones lower and the Nasdaq bounced 0.10 percent.
Here you will find a quick look at how some sectors of the market are doing.
Tech shares look at sticks and increases
Technology stocks were some of the market most sold out on the market.
The great seven-a group of seven powerful tech shares, including Apple, Microsoft and Nvidiahaben, wiped out $ 2 trillion in the most recent slides of the market.
US President Donald Trump said on Monday that he did not intend to tie the tariffs as markets and that “many, many countries … are also negotiating business with us.” He also threatened to hit China an additional 50 percent tariff.
On Monday, a recovery of Tech shares contributed to increasing the S&P 500. The chip manufacturer Nvidia was stumbled by more than seven percent in the morning trade and was 3.5 percent at Market’s Close.
Overall, according to Sebastien Bettermier, a deputy professor of finances at the Desautel Faculty of Management at MCGill University, affected by tariffs that rely on international supply chains are affected more by tariffs.
For example, Apple closed 3.67 percent of its value through the market on Monday after it used to drop more than five percent a day.
A large part of Apple’s hardware production takes place in China, and Bettermier told CBC News that Trump achieved a tariff of 34 percent in China last week, in addition to the previous ones, and China has been reorganizing 34 percent for US goods by announcing a suitable tariff.
Although the company has made efforts in recent years to diversify its supply chain beyond China, other countries that manufacture Apple products are also attacked by the US tariffs, with India and Vietnam exposed to tariffs of 26 percent and 46 percent.

Consumer brackets a little more stable
A sector that has seen less serious market value waste in the recent turbulence are consumers such as food.
“You can watch the best stocks on the Toronto exchange last month,” said Barry Schwartz, Chief Investment Officer at Baskin Wealth Management and pointed out food dealers and supply companies such as Hydro One and Toronto Hydro. “People have to pay for these things or their lights go out. They have to buy or not eat food.”
He told CBC News that the need for consumer clips means that they “cut off well in chopped markets”.
For example, Costco rose to the green and then repeatedly appeared all Monday before it was closed by 0.91 percent, which is far less intensive than some of the tech shares.
Although it is a “more resilient” sector, Bettermier found that retail is still affected by disorders of the supply chain.
“A lot of what we consume is ultimately done abroad.”
Outlook for retail, change of transport
According to Bhermier, sectors with very thin profit margins such as retail are often some of the most affected tariffs.
“If you have a tariff, you either have the same prices and ultimately the consumer pays more due to this additional tax or you bring the price (and food) into your profit margin to try to make it still accessible to consumers,” he said.
“But if you don’t have much profit margin at first, you have less space to maneuver.”
Retail is also another sector in which the concerns of the supply chain are enormous. Nike, which has dropped by four percent in one of the major market losses on Monday, produces a large part of his shoes and clothes in China, where it also sells a lot of product.

Although transport is not a sector that is directly affected by tariffs, the supervisor means that the persistent tension between the USA and Canada means that people may reduce the trips between the two countries, which could lead to a downturn.
“If the tariffs actually lead to a reduced demand for these sectors, as in transport, this will be a loss in future income for these companies,” he said.
Some airline shares have dropped for months. For example, United Airline Holdings is currently about half of this in January.
Larry Fink, Managing Director of Blackrock, the world’s largest asset manager, says he is already hearing from US airlines who say that they see enormous effects on the decline in travel issue.
“Most CEOs I talk to would say that we are probably in a recession,” Fink said in an interview on Monday in the Economic Club of New York.
“We see a real downturn in very different sectors.”
