Trade tensions, particularly between the US and China, continue to cast a shadow over the market. The uncertainty surrounding US trade policies, including President Trump's stance on tariffs, has led to increased volatility and a cautious approach from investors. This geopolitical tension is affecting corporate guidance and future outlooks, with many companies withdrawing their full-year forecasts due to the escalating impact of tariffs on their supply chains and production costs.
The US trade deficit reached a new record high of $140.5 billion in March 2025, driven by a sharp rise in imports as businesses and consumers rushed to import goods ahead of anticipated tariffs. This widening deficit is compounding the negative market sentiment, as the effects of tariffs on trade flows become increasingly evident. The US Dollar Index has been fluctuating, currently hovering around the 100 mark, as investors weigh the economic implications of a prolonged trade war and its potential impact on the US currency.
