Global Markets React to Trump’s Escalating Trade Policies
President Trump’s tariffs and trade war rhetoric have triggered market corrections, strained alliances, and stoked fears of economic downturns.
- The S&P 500 has entered correction territory, falling 10% below its February peak, with the ASX 200 and other global indices also experiencing significant declines.
- Trump’s trade policies, including tariffs on steel, aluminum, and European goods, have led to retaliatory measures from key allies like Canada, Mexico, and the European Union.
- Economic experts warn that prolonged trade conflicts could increase recession risks and further destabilize global markets, with investors shifting to safer assets like gold and European equities.
- Trump’s rhetoric has strained U.S. relationships with allies, including threats to Canada’s sovereignty and criticism of NATO, while maintaining a conciliatory stance toward adversaries like Russia.
- Australian consumers and superannuation funds are feeling indirect impacts from market volatility, though exports to the U.S. remain relatively unaffected by current tariffs.
