The uncertainty surrounding tariffs is affecting the tech sector, particularly with the Trump administration's implementation of significant import taxes on countries like Canada, Mexico, and China. Steve Hall, an AI expert at ISG, warns that these tariffs may drive inflation, potentially leading to elevated interest rates. This scenario could push large businesses to slash discretionary spending, including budgets for digital transformation. However, sectors like SaaS and AI service growth are likely to continue, thanks to the ongoing demand for digital solutions.
Tariffs may lead to increased inflation, forcing the Federal Reserve to maintain high interest rates and consequently reduce large enterprises' discretionary spending, impacting tech growth.
While some sectors may contract, areas like SaaS and AI products are expected to thrive due to ongoing demand for digital services, even amidst tariff-related challenges.
