Why Bearish?
Increased trade tensions often correlate with economic downturns, leading to market sell-offs, as historically observed during previous tariff escalations like the 2018 trade war.
How important is it?
Given the S&P 500's sensitivity to economic indicators, trade tensions can negatively influence investor confidence and stock prices.
Why Short Term?
Immediate reaction to trade tensions can lead to significant market volatility; however, longer-term effects depend on changes in trade policy.
