The main source of attention for financial markets in relation to the policies of the current U.S. administration continues to be the issue of tariffs.
#Dazi and trade tensions:
* The president has threatened to increase tariffs against several countries, such as India, due to their trade relations.
* These threats generate uncertainty and volatility in global markets, with varying impacts depending on sectors and geographies.
* For example, there have been signs of dialogue on tariffs between the United States and the European Union, which have had a positive effect on the markets. At the same time, U.S. stocks have sometimes shown weaker performance, while European and Asian markets, including Chinese tech stocks, have shown resilience.
Monetary policy and appointments:
* The president has reassured, at least for the moment, that the current chairman of the Federal Reserve, Jerome Powell, will remain in his position, news that helps stabilize expectations around interest rates.
Market performance:
* The threats of tariffs have caused, in some cases, a decline on Wall Street, with the S&P 500, Nasdaq, and Dow Jones recording losses on certain days.
* However, there have been alternating moments of recovery, with European markets showing resilience, as in the case of Milan, which recorded significant growth in some sessions.
* In general, the uncertainty generated by trade policies has made investors more cautious, pushing them towards "defensive" sectors.
Other factors:
* Government decisions regarding energy and deregulation have favored sectors related to fossil fuels.
* The U.S. dollar showed initial strengthening, although at times it recorded weakening.
* There is also anticipation for the new appointments that will be made by the administration, which could further influence economic policies and consequently the markets.
