FAQ
Why Bearish?
Tariffs typically lead to trade disruptions, which can negatively impact S&P 500 companies reliant on exports or imports. History shows that similar situations, like the U.S.-China trade war, had a detrimental effect on market sentiment.
How important is it?
The potential for tariffs can influence investor sentiment, impacting stock prices across sectors. Given Canada's significant trade relationship with the U.S., any escalation could weigh heavily on stocks in the S&P 500.
Why Short Term?
Immediate tariff threats can create market volatility and uncertainty, likely affecting S&P 500 in the near term. Quick responses from companies may also lead to short-term market reactions.
