Has the Stock Rout Run Its Course?
As trade tensions continue to escalate, analysts are divided on the odds of a stock market recovery, with some expecting the downturn to continue and others predicting a speedy rebound.
The stock market has been volatile in recent days, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average experiencing a significant decline due to the escalating trade tensions between the United States and several other countries. The rout has left many investors worried about the potential impact on their investments. Analysts are now divided on the odds of a stock market recovery, with some expecting the downturn to continue and others predicting a speedy rebound.
One of the main factors contributing to the market volatility is the uncertainty surrounding the trade tariffs announced by President Donald Trump. The tariffs have already been implemented in some cases, and investors are worried about the potential impact on global economies. Chris Buchbinder, principal investment officer of the Capital Group Dividend Value ETF, believes that the potential severity of the negative outcomes is not fully priced into the market, making it a good time to stay cautious and wait for more information. On the other hand, Marc Zabicki, Chief Investment Officer at LPL Financial, thinks that many of the announced tariffs will be negotiated down and that the fundamentals of the market and economy will reflect this.
Tariffs Are Hours Away from Going Into Effect
The tariffs announced by President Trump are set to go into effect at midnight, and investors are wondering how long they will last. The tariffs include a minimum of 10% on almost every country in the world, and additional tariffs on certain countries are set to take effect at 12:01 a.m. If the tariffs do go into effect, they could drive up prices for US consumers and have far-reaching consequences for the economy.
