The Impact of Trump's Tariffs
The impending announcement of universal tariffs by the U.S. administration is set to create significant shifts in global commerce. Dubbed 'Liberation Day', the new tariffs aim to recalibrate trade relationships and may reach up to 20% on a wide array of imported goods. Experts express concerns that this increase in protectionist policies could trigger a trade war worth $1.4 trillion and lead to market instability, with fears of stagflation looming. The market is currently in a 'wait and see' mode, as investors gauge the potential repercussions of these levies on both the U.S. economy and its trading partners.
