However, if some present valuations are skating on thin ice, a reversal of this sort might not be enough to save the ship. (Apologies for the mixed metaphor.)If the stock market enters correction territory in the near-term due to tariffs,
Trump may rescind tariffs and quickly declare victory based on an inconsequential outcome.
He has a strong preference to be associated with robust stock market returns.
Or his double-dealing, grifting, corruption, lobbying other governments as a private citizen, etc, etc, etc."At what point is Trump considered to be a national security threat?"
It has been abundantly clear that Trump is a national security threat
since his inept and criminal mishandling of classified documents.
And yet the Teflon-Don got away scot-free once again!
There ought to be a law against this type of activity...
I too am wondering. Why 25% on Canadian and Mexican products and "only" 10% on Chinese products?The 10% on China announced yesterday are on top of the Tariffs already in place. For an apples to apples comparison, are the Tariffs lower on Chinese products than on border countries' products? Another way to look at it is, total $ Tariffs imposed as a percentage of total imports.
US trade rep / Commerce Dept website probably will have accurate and updated information.
I expect Tariffs on China to be higher if not equal to that on border countries but someone can post the info when available.
Over the past six-seven years a lot of Chinese manufacturers have moved their operations to other Asian countries and continue to be under (direct or indirect) China / CCP control.
It would be good to know how have forum members changed or plan to change their portfolio because of the Tariffs. Your reaction can be very targeted to specific tickers, sectors, or market as a whole. For example, you decreased or plan to decrease your equity allocation because you think Tariffs will dampen (slow down) the economic activity in the US and / or cut into gross margins of US companies.
Maybe, but NVDA's market cap in 2004 was *nowhere* what it is nowdays, so a 35% drop then would probably be tiny compared to even a 15% drop today, yes?Rick,
When not in a recession or SPX not in a bear market, the largest single day decline for NVDA stock was 35% which in August 2004. There were two other worse declines in similar circumstances than the decline on Monday (16.4%), which happens to be the 9th worst in its history.
Now you can see the value of Gloomberg reporting in the OP. I am not singling out Gloomberg.
All links are into NYTimes article:while tariffs are predicted to inflict pain on all three nations, they would cause more damage to Canada and Mexico, smaller economies that are deeply dependent on the United States.

Economists predict that the initial effect would be negative for all three nations, which are bound by a free-trade agreement known as USMCA (United States-Mexico-Canada).
...
Here’s what tariffs could mean for each country.
