				President Donald Trump’s fast-approaching “Liberation Day” had 
				stock markets all over the world swinging sharply.
 The S&P 500 rose 0.6% in another roller-coaster Monday. The S&P 
				lost 4.6% for the first three months of the year, its worst 
				quarter in two-and-a-half years.
 
 The Dow Jones Industrial Average also swerved higher after 
				initially falling, and it climbed 1%. Slides for Nvidia and 
				other influential tech stocks weighed on the Nasdaq composite, 
				which slipped 0.1%.
 
 The swings follow a global sell-off as worries build that 
				tariffs coming Wednesday from Trump will worsen inflation and 
				grind down growth for economies.
 
 On Monday:
 
 The S&P 500 rose 30.91 points, or 0.6%, to 5,611.85.
 
 The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 417.86 points, or 1%, to 
				42,001.76.
 
 The Nasdaq composite fell 23.70 points, or 0.1%, to 17,299.29.
 
 The Russell 2000 index of smaller companies fell 11.36 points, 
				or 0.6%, to 2,011.91.
 
 For the year:
 
 The S&P 500 is down 269.78 points, or 4.6%.
 
 The Dow is down 542.46 points, or 1.3%.
 
 The Nasdaq is down 2,011.51 points, or 10.4%.
 
 The Russell 2000 is down 218.24 points, or 9.8%.
