The stock market may not have priced in potential disruptions from Trump's policies yet
Published On Feb 21, 2025, 6:00 AM
The stock market is currently experiencing a rally amidst concerns regarding potential disruptions from President Trump's ongoing policy changes. Analysts indicate that much of the market's optimism is already factored into current valuations, which may leave little room for positive surprises. Should tariffs on Mexico and Canada be enacted, analysts predict a potential downside of 5% to 10% for the S&P 500 as these policies could disrupt earnings growth. Overall, while immediate market movements have been positive, uncertainty around the implementation of tariffs and other policies could lead to a pullback.
