Investors Await Trump Tariff Letters to 12 Countries
Global investors have largely reacted with indifference ahead of U.S. President Donald Trump's tariff deadline, reflecting confidence that potential trade shocks are already priced into the markets. Despite Trump’s announcement that tariffs could reach up to 70 percent on goods from 12 countries starting August 1, global stocks have rallied to record highs, with investors expecting a range of benign outcomes and believing worst-case scenarios are unlikely. While the Trump administration has secured limited trade agreements with Britain and Vietnam, negotiations with India, Japan, and the European Union have stalled or faced setbacks. Market experts note that the initial tariff announcement caused a sharp market drop, but subsequent tariff news is perceived as less disruptive, with investors viewing the deadlines as flexible and prolonged uncertainty as a given. The recent stock rally has been driven more by retail investors and corporate buybacks than institutional investors, who remain cautious amid concerns about U.S. economic growth and high equity valuations. Overall, the investor sentiment has shifted from panic to cautious optimism as the tariff deadline approaches.
