Investing under Trump 2.0

Uncertainty and market volatility could persist as Trump’s policies take shape. But investors can bolster their portfolios by positioning for several enduring trends.

US President Trump orders more tariffs

US President Donald Trump announced a new 25% tariff on all steel and aluminum imports on Monday. Despite rising tariff risks, we still expect that a solid US economy, AI tailwinds, and gradual Fed rate cuts will offer a favorable backdrop for equities. We continue to expect the S&P 500 to end the year higher.

US President Trump reimposes "maximum pressure" on Iran

So far, the oil market has reacted in a muted way to the announcement. Market participants will likely wait to see how current sanctions are enforced before anticipating production disruptions in Iran.

FAQs on tariffs

Equities started the week on a volatile note after reports that the Trump administration pushed forward with plans to impose higher tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China. However, stocks recovered some ground Monday as the White House hit pause on tariffs on Mexico and Canada for at least 30 days. While uncertainty remains elevated, we answer some common questions on investors' minds.

Daily independent financial research from Global Chief Economist Paul Donovan, who believes passionately that economics is something everyone can and should understand.

I tend to think of myself as a political economist, not a mathematical economist. Diversity, inflation, education, trade, inequality, sustainability and social change are some of the topics I am very enthusiastic about.
