Special Report: The Economy in Crisis

In the first two weeks of April, President Donald Trump instituted tariffs not seen since the 1930s—and scrambled the rules of the capital markets and global trade. Today, investors and executives are reassessing everything they know as they face the prospect of what could become a protracted trade war. In this exclusive package, our expert reporters and editors delve into the new playbooks that Fortune 500 CEOs are devising to navigate the year ahead, on everything from borrowing and hiring to supply chains. We offer guidance to retail investors about how to protect their portfolios. And we examine a troubling phenomenon that could cause turmoil across the economy: the growing signs of uncertainty in the U.S. Treasury market.
