The stock market ended in a bloodbath on Thursday, with all major indices finishing in the red, as investors turned cautious anew over President Donald Trump’s tariff imposition on goods from more countries.

The Dow Jones dropped by 0.45 percent, while the S&P declined 1.59 percent. Nasdaq, on the other hand, lost 2.78 percent.

On Thursday, Trump threatened to slap EU products with a 25-percent tariff, following his announcement on Wednesday of another month of delay for the imposition of taxes on goods from Mexico and Canada.

Meanwhile, ten companies defied broader market pessimism, posting strong gains during the day.

To come up with Thursday’s top gainers, we considered only the stocks with $2 billion in market capitalization and $5 million in daily trading volume.

10. Bitdeer Technologies Group (NASDAQ:BTDR)

Bitdeer grew its share prices for a second day on Thursday, adding 6.24 percent to close at $10.89 apiece as investors bought up following the company’s upgraded rating from an investment firm.
