The announcement comes as markets had been showing signs of resilience following weeks of geopolitical uncertainty. However, Trump’s aggressive rhetoric has reignited fears of supply chain disruptions, increased production costs, and dampened investor sentiment.
Analysts warn that the unpredictability surrounding U.S. trade policy under Trump’s influence is clouding global economic forecasts, particularly in manufacturing and export-reliant sectors. Meanwhile, some investors are seeking safe-haven assets, anticipating potential market volatility in the coming weeks.
As the U.S. election season heats up, Trump’s trade stance is likely to remain a pivotal factor influencing global market dynamics.
