Market uncertainty grows in the 21st Century, particularly with looming tariffs threatening global trade stability. Following Trump's trade announcements, the S&P 500 saw a significant decline, though delays provided temporary recovery. Potential economic downturns loom with $2.4 trillion in added deficits forecasted. While some economists predict a recession is imminent, optimism reportedly resurfaces due to easing tensions around tariffs. Notably, J.P. Morgan revised its recession forecasts, reflecting fluctuating market sentiments over trade policies.
In the face of potential tariffs impacting global trade, investors are gravitating towards defensive stocks as a safeguard against market instability.
The combination of Trump's tariffs and escalating trade tensions has intensified market negativity, reflecting historical patterns of economic downturns following significant policy announcements.
