Trump's latest tariff policy approaches, and the US stock market faces a potential moment of vulnerability

ChainCatcher news, as Trump's latest tariffs approach, the U.S. stock market faces a potentially vulnerable moment. The S&P 500 index has fallen about 5% from its historic closing high on February 19, and a series of weak economic reports in the U.S. have raised concerns about economic growth, while the tariffs have compounded the market outlook.

Analysts generally believe that imposing tariffs on foreign imports could exacerbate inflation and cut into corporate profits. Chuck Carlson, CEO of Horizon Investment Services, stated, "Currently, the market still views tariffs more as a negotiating tool rather than a long-term strategy, and if that begins to change, I think it will have a negative impact on the stock market."
