Tariffs and plunging stock markets.
The Donald Trump tariffs have caused a lot of pain and suffering in the stock markets the last few day. We have seen almost all sectors of stocks down 5% to 10% and individual stocks down 20% or more some down even 50%. The bloodbath in shares overseas has been pretty bad to although initially not as bad but now Friday 4/4/2025 is pretty bad everywhere.
The few sectors not getting creamed are consumer staples and some medical companies. If you have been shorting in size you arent doing to bad or if you were loaded up on bullion and bonds, they have done ok as has Tobacco shares and telephone shares at least in the States and Canada and the UK.
Is this the beginning of the end?
I don't think so but who knows. So far oil is down 12% or more copper down and corn and the other commodities.
This maybe the beginning's of some kind of new economy and only time will tell but I suspect most Governments will incentivize corporations to bring their capital back home and this maybe the beginnings of a weak dollar and booming stock markets in other parts of the world. all we can do is wait and watch then execute and take advantages of the new opportunities as they become available.
