Since WSB and Stocks reddit won't let this post stay up because they are afraid of the market panic. I will try to post this here. This is a fucking big deal. We're looking at a black Monday.

Wall Street Meltdown: Trump's Tariff Sparks Hedge Fund Bloodbath.

Hedge funds are facing Lehman-style margin calls as a market crash triggered by President Donald Trump's tariffs raises fears of a looming 'Black Monday.'

The significant decline in the market has compelled hedge funds to liquidate assets, with prominent Wall Street banks requesting additional collateral following a sharp decrease in the value of their holdings, according to insiders.

There is growing apprehension about a recurrence of the catastrophic 'Black Monday' that occurred on October 19, 1987, when the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell by 22.6 percent, marking the largest single-day percentage drop in history.

This situation arises as a 10 percent global 'baseline' tariff was implemented late last night, affecting all U.S. imports except those from Mexico and Canada. By April 9, approximately 60 trading partners, including the European Union, Japan, and China, are expected to encounter even steeper tariffs tailored to their respective economies.

Margin Calls and Market Mayhem: Hedge Funds in Freefall

In the wake of Trump's tariff disruptions, several major banks have issued their largest margin calls to clients since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020. The magnitude of these calls, spanning various sectors such as technology and consumer goods, has raised alarms that the aggressive sell-off may persist into Monday. Margin calls can trigger a detrimental cycle, as selling stocks to fulfill these calls can further depress prices. On Friday, gold prices dropped by more than 3 percent, reversing earlier gains from the week, as investors were compelled to sell bullion to offset their losses.

'Rates, equities, and oil were all down significantly… it was the broad market movements that caused the scale of the margin calls,' one prime brokerage executive told the Financial Times.Wall Street Meltdown: Trump's Tariff Sparks Hedge Fund Bloodbath.
