Impact of Tariffs on the Market

The recent announcement of new tariffs proposed by President Trump is projected to have a significant impact on the market, particularly affecting sectors like energy materials and discretionary spending. It is estimated that these tariffs could lead to a low single-digit decline in S&P earnings.
