📉 U.S. Markets: Tariff Announcements Cause Pullback:
• Major U.S. stock indexes dipped sharply on Monday after President Trump declared a 100% tariff on foreign movies, citing concerns of national security. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped more than 200 points (0.5%), the S&P 500 shed 0.9%, and the Nasdaq fell 1%. The move hit entertainment stocks such as Netflix and Disney in particular.
• Moreover, technology giants like Tesla and Nvidia had their shares fall back after previous advances. Investor mood is also subdued by expectation of the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision later today, with markets keenly awaiting any hint on future monetary policy.
🌐 Global Markets: Widespread Impact Amid Trade Tensions:
The effects of the U.S. tariff policy are being felt across the globe:
• Asia: Japan's Nikkei 225 took a steep 7% fall, prompting trading curbs, and South Korea's KOSPI dropped more than 5%. The KSE 100 index in Pakistan dropped 5.29%, leading to a temporary market halt.
• Europe: Big indices such as the FTSE 100 and STOXX 600 lost close to 5% and more than 8% respectively, their worst weeks in years.
• Middle East: The majority of Gulf markets relaxed following declining oil prices and investor nervousness. The Qatari index declined 0.4%, while Abu Dhabi's index dropped by 0.1%. In contrast, Saudi Arabia's benchmark index increased 0.1%, supported by a 6.5% gain in Saudi Arabian Mining Company shares.
💼 Corporate Developments: Leadership Changes and M&A Activity:
• Berkshire Hathaway: Warren Buffett said he will retire as CEO by the end of the year, although he will stay on as chairman. The company's shares dropped almost 6% after the announcement.
• Skechers: Stock jumped over 25% on a rumor of a $63-per-share acquisition offer by 3G Capital.
📊 Market Outlook: Analysts Forecast Possible Reversal:
• While the current slide continues, some market strategists see a possible turnaround in favor of U.S. stocks. Morgan Stanley's chief market strategist, Mike Wilson, indicates that with an aging economic cycle and a settled Federal Reserve, U.S. large-cap stocks with solid earnings could offer improved opportunities.
• Still, threats persist, such as labor market weakness and increased long-term Treasury yields, that might squeeze stock valuations.
