US stocks plummeted Wednesday, with the S&P 500 down 2.2%, due to Nvidia's warning of billions in losses from China export restrictions and growing uncertainty surrounding Trump's trade war. The Dow dropped 1.7% and Nasdaq fell 3.1%. Fed Chair Jerome Powell acknowledged the tariffs' larger-than-expected impact but delayed interest rate decisions.
