US stock markets are expected to remain volatile amid ongoing trade tensions. The recent “Liberation Day” event, which marked a one-year anniversary of President Biden’s executive order to lift COVID-19 restrictions, did not ease market concerns about tariffs and their impact on corporate earnings.
Delta Air Lines, Wells Fargo, CarMax, and other major companies are scheduled to report Q1 earnings this week. Investors will closely monitor these releases for signs of how tariffs have affected their businesses. With the ongoing trade war between the US and its trading partners continuing to cast a shadow over markets, investors are advised to remain cautious and keep a close eye on economic indicators.
The S&P 500 index and other major market benchmarks closed at record highs last week, but experts warn that this recent rally may be short-lived. The ongoing tariff threat is likely to continue driving market volatility, making it essential for investors to stay informed about the latest developments in the trade war.
As the market waits with bated breath for the next round of tariffs or any potential relief from the current trade tensions, one thing is clear: the situation remains fluid and unpredictable.
