Tariffs: Wall Street’s New Favorite Rollercoaster Ride
Just when you thought stocks were partying like it’s 2024, the administration drops a list of tariff rates hitting about 70 countries next Thursday. Financials and Big Tech are popping bottles, while consumer staples and health care clutch their pearls. JPMorgan's David Kelly nails it: 'There's a disconnect between the superlative performance of the US equity market and the mediocrity of the American economy.' Meanwhile, copper investors flinched harder than Netflix canceling a cult show—not the smackdown they expected. In short, tariffs are the new mystery flavor reshaping winners and losers in this wild market buffet.
