The stock market is at record highs right now, but Wall Street experts are concerned about hidden risks. While the market is celebrating Trump’s business-friendly policies, it might be ignoring the dangers of his planned tariffs.
Here’s what has experts worried: Trump is threatening to put 25% tariffs on goods from Mexico and Canada by March. So far, investors have dismissed these threats as just negotiating tactics. But if these tariffs actually happen, they could seriously hurt company profits and cause the stock market to drop by 5-10%.
Goldman Sachs and other major banks warn that without strong company earnings to support these high prices, any bad news about tariffs could trigger a significant market decline. Citi Bank specifically warns that while investors are focused on the positive aspects of Trump’s policies, they’re not taking these tariff risks seriously enough.
