Tariff Turmoil
Shifting Tariff Policies Bring A Volatile Market
The past few weeks have been a wild ride for American investors. On April 2nd, President Donald Trump unveiled his new tariff plan - a 10% tariff on all imports to the U.S., with certain trading partners receiving additional levies. The announcement promptly swept the markets into a downwards frenzy as tensions escalated and affected countries retaliated with their own tariffs. This retaliation was met with even higher tariffs from the Trump administration. The markets declined rapidly for days, until Trump put a ninety-day pause on his tariff decision for all except China. In response to the pause the Nasdaq had its largest gain in over twenty years, and the S&P 500 had its best day since 2008 (WSJ). Investors, however, remain wary. Many worry about the effects the ongoing trade war will have on companies and consumers alike. Others are hesitant to act when tariff policy seems so nebulous and erratic. We discussed the recent tariff shock on our YouTube channel, but only time will tell how things actually pan out. Reach out to use to chat about any questions or concerns you may have.
