FAQ

Why Bearish?

Increased tariffs and trade tensions historically lead to stock market declines. The sudden shift in U.S.-China relations parallels previous market reactions during trade disputes.

How important is it?

The likelihood of heightened tariffs affecting international trade impacts multiple S&P sectors significantly. Tariffs particularly impact technology and manufacturing, both crucial for S&P performance.

Why Short Term?

Given the immediate nature of tariff announcements, short-term volatility in the S&P 500 is expected. Previous trade tensions have resulted in swift market reactions.
