The market has been on a bit of a rollercoaster ride since President Trump announced tariffs.

Caleb Silver, Investopedia's editor-in-chief, joins Markets and Data Editor Jared Blikre and Producer Sydnee Fried on Stocks in Translation to discuss market expectations for 2025 under President Trump and the sectors poised to benefit the most.

The market has started 2025 on an “optimistic” note. “The closer you are to the president, the more you're [going to] see a rally in your sector,” Silver explains. “Sentiment is very positive right now. The question is, what's on the other side of this positive sentiment?"

Fittingly, today's phrase is policy uncertainty—a term many pundits associate with President Trump’s administration. Blikre defines it as “the unpredictability of government actions like taxes, regulations, or trade rules that can impact business decisions, economic growth, and investor confidence in markets.”

However, Silver warns that overanalyzing can be costly. “If you get too muddled up in what's going to happen, you're going to miss the action. And the action has been very intense across investors' favorite parts of the market,” he says.
