Deep dives
The Impact of Global Tariffs
The implementation of new tariffs by President Trump on Canada, Mexico, and China is creating significant concerns in financial markets. Trump's decision includes a 25% tariff on imports from North America and an additional 10% tariff on Chinese goods, which is expected to escalate trade tensions further. This move contributes to fears of a potential economic downturn, as tariffs may raise costs for consumers and businesses alike, exacerbating inflationary pressures. As a result, markets have reacted negatively, with many investors pulling back due to uncertainty surrounding these trade policies and their long-term effects on the economy.
