Deep dives
Economic Volatility and Uncertainty
The current economic landscape is characterized by heightened volatility and uncertainty, particularly influenced by shifting trade policies. Expectations of 25% tariffs on trade with Canada and Mexico have raised concerns over potential disruptions in the North American supply chain, especially as 50% of the U.S. automotive sector relies heavily on inter-country connections. Market fluctuations reflected this volatility throughout January, as investors grappled with mixed signals despite a seemingly stable stock market performance. The overarching fear is that without clear fiscal policy direction, both the stock market and the overall economy could experience contractions.
