- Economists warn that President Trump’s fluctuating trade policies, including tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China, are creating uncertainty and dampening business confidence.
- U.S. stock markets have experienced significant volatility, with major indices logging their worst weekly losses since September and the Nasdaq entering correction territory.
- Consumer confidence has fallen sharply, with February data showing its steepest monthly decline since 2009, while consumer spending has also dropped unexpectedly.
