US Stocks Set for Another Tumble as Tariff Uncertainty Persists
Despite a temporary reprieve from some tariffs, the US stock market experienced significant losses following a brief surge, with the Dow falling over 1300 points. Economists warn that the economic damage from President Trump’s tariffs is substantial and the risk of a US and global recession remains high, despite the 90-day pause on certain levies. While the EU also paused retaliatory tariffs, the ongoing trade war with China, including increased tariffs on both sides, continues to escalate and fuels economic uncertainty. This uncertainty, coupled with existing tariffs, is impacting various markets, including bonds, oil, and the US dollar.
