According to Odaily, AJBell investment analyst Dan Coatsworth has expressed concerns over the deteriorating state of the U.S. market sell-off. For some time, there have been worries about the overvaluation of the U.S. stock market, with many seeking a catalyst for a market correction. Concerns over trade wars, geopolitical tensions, and economic uncertainty may serve as such a catalyst.
U.S. President Donald Trump, once seen as a savior for the market with his promises of tax cuts and deregulation, is now perceived as a harbinger of doom. As people consider whether trade tariffs might backfire, leading to a recession rather than economic prosperity, the word 'recession' has resurfaced in discussions.
During Trump's first term, he frequently cited the rising stock market as a measure of his success. Therefore, he likely does not want to witness a complete market collapse just months into his second term.
