Global Investors Rethink Confidence in US Assets One Year After Liberation Day Tariffs

One year after Trump announced sweeping tariffs on Liberation Day, global investors are questioning confidence in US assets as the stock market is down about 5 percent and the dollar has weakened.

Last year in April, Trump announced large-scale tariff policies. Global stock markets experienced major declines at that time. One year has passed, and investors are beginning to reassess their views on US assets. The S&P 500 index has fallen approximately 5% this year. Meanwhile, the US dollar has weakened. Some capital has flowed to markets in Europe and other regions. Some economists believe the US economy may experience a recession. US Treasury Secretary Bessent stated that he believes the economy will not enter a recession.
