Impact of U.S. Tariffs on Market Dynamics
The introduction of new tariffs by the U.S. administration has significantly impacted global markets, leading to heightened volatility. This policy shift is not merely an exogenous shock; rather, it stems from deliberate decisions that have created uncertainty in the economic landscape. For instance, the S&P 500 index has plummeted nearly 20% from its peak in February, highlighting the erosion of equity valuations amid these developments. The imposition of tariffs is expected to push inflation above 4%, further complicating the macroeconomic environment and potentially leading to a recession.
