📌 Trump and his advisors said this is the plan from the beginning: to scare the world by announcing unreasonably high tariffs, then force countries into negotiations, and with the exception of China, roll back the most painful trade barriers while America works to reach new trade agreements worldwide.
📌 However, Trump's comment leaves his 'reciprocal' tariffs, which were not actually reciprocal, his administration with only 90 days to finalize extremely complex trade deals with dozens of countries that say they will come forward to negotiate.
📌 Financial markets are not convinced, stocks fluctuated sharply, while volatility increased, and other markets, including oil and the dollar, send a clear message of deep doubt in Trump's ability to achieve this.
📌 Financial markets After another sharp decline in the market on Thursday, it seemed that stocks had calmed down - at least for now - and fluctuated between gains and losses on Friday, the Dow Jones rose by 450 points, or 1.1% in the late afternoon, the S&P 500 increased by 1.28%, and the Nasdaq rose by 1.5%.
📌 Wall Street ended Friday's trading with a strong rise, coinciding with the start of the first-quarter earnings announcement season, as investors seek to close a chapter on a week that saw sharp fluctuations due to the repercussions of the tariff war.
