S&P 500 plunges 6% to close its worst week since 2020 after China retaliates against Trumps tariffs
Wall Streets worst crisis since COVID slammed into a higher, scarier gear Friday.
The S&P 500 lost 6% after China matched President Donald Trumps big raise in tariffs announced earlier this week. The move increased the stakes in a trade war that could end with a recession that hurts everyone. Not even a betterthanexpected report on the U.S. job market, which is usually the economic highlight of each month, was enough to stop the slide.
The drop closed the worst week for the S&P 500 since March 2020, when the pandemic crashed the economy. The Dow Jones Industrial Average plunged 2,231 points, or 5.5% Friday, and the Nasdaq composite tumbled 5.8% to pull more than 20% below its record set in December.

TikTok given another extension to find US buyer
President Donald Trump on Friday said he is signing an executive order to keep TikTok running in the U.S. for another 75 days to give his administration more time to broker a deal to bring the social media platform under American ownership.
Congress had mandated that the platform be divested from China by Jan. 19 or barred in the U.S. on national security grounds, but Trump moved unilaterally to extend the deadline to this weekend, as he sought to negotiate an agreement to keep it running. Trump has recently entertained an array of offers from U.S. businesses seeking to buy a share of the popular social media site, but Chinas ByteDance, which owns TikTok and its closelyheld algorithm, has insisted the platform is not for sale.

Live Doppler 13 morning forecast Saturday, April 5, 2025
Its been a soggy and stormy week across central Indiana. As we start the weekend, the threat of heavy rainfall and flooding continues, but the severe storm risk will end. The focus of the forecast will be yet another round of heavy rainfall, primarily setting up along and south of the Interstate 70 corridor.
A Flood Watch remains in effect for all of central Indiana through Sunday morning. A second area of low pressure will push through the area late this afternoon into this evening bringing another round of rain that will continue through the early morning hours Sunday. While rainfall rates wont be quite as intense today compared to last night, an already saturated ground will quickly lead to flooding and further impacts. River flooding will be moderate to major until crests are forecast to hit Sunday and Monday. This is especially true for rivers south of I70 including the Wabash and White Rivers.
