Ovzn, April 7 — Global stock markets are experiencing severe turbulence, and China’s stock market was no exception on this “Black Monday.” Over 5,200 stocks declined, with nearly 800 stocks hitting their daily lower limit. Companies related to the 3D printing industry also suffered sharp collective losses, with several companies losing around 20% of their market value compared to April 4.

The stock market crash was triggered by the United States announcing the imposition of “reciprocal tariffs” on nearly all of its trading partners, escalating global trade tensions. This policy has intensified concerns about the future of global trade, undermining investor confidence and causing widespread declines in global stock markets.

Not long ago, news broke that the consumer electronics industry would heavily adopt metal 3D printing technology, which had previously driven a surge in the market values of related 3D printing companies. On March 7, the market capitalization of companies like BLT (Bright Laser Technologies) and Farsoon Technologies both exceeded $3.06 billion USD.
