Donald Trump's return to the White House has created significant disturbances in both global geopolitics and financial markets. His impulsive trade policies, particularly indiscriminate tariffs, led to a sharp collapse in stock markets, with the S&P 500 losing 9% since his return. Comparatively, this marks the worst start to a presidency in decades, exceeding even previous turbulent transitions. Market responses are heavily influenced by Trump's comments, resulting in wild fluctuations depending on his statements. Thus, a wave of unpredictability characterizes the financial climate under his leadership, affecting his popularity with the public.
The global economy entered a state of peak tension the moment Trump launched an erratic trade war, imposing indiscriminate tariffs on both allies and adversaries.
Trump's return to office has left the S&P 500 down 9.3%, indicating the most tumultuous start of any presidency in the last 14 administrations.
