ChainCatcher news, billionaire hedge fund founder Steve Cohen, founder of Point72, stated during a speech in Miami that U.S. stocks may experience a significant adjustment due to the policies of the Trump administration. Cohen expects that in the second half of 2025, the growth rate of the U.S. economy will slow from 2.5% to 1.5%, marking "the first time in a while that I feel very negative."Cohen pointed out that the tariff policies of the Trump administration are essentially a form of taxation, which could provoke international trade retaliation; at the same time, immigration restrictions will affect labor force growth, and the anti-corruption initiatives of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) are essentially contractionary policies. These factors combined will have a negative impact on the economy. Against the backdrop of the S&P 500 index rising over 50% since the beginning of 2023 and Nvidia's increase of 800%, current market valuations are at historical highs, with most investors, including hedge funds and retail investors, holding near-maximum positions, leading to significant downside risks in the market.It is reported that Point72 is known as "Wall Street's craziest money-making machine," and Cohen has been named by U.S. media as the most influential trader in Wall Street history. He is also the inspiration for the character Bobby Axelrod, a financial tycoon in the popular American TV series "Billions." Analysis from Goldman Sachs' trading department shows that if stocks fall by 10% within a month, it could trigger about $200 billion in systemic selling, with one-third coming from the U.S. market.

He reiterated that Berkshire does not prefer holding cash over excellent businesses.In addition, Berkshire continues to increase fixed-rate borrowings denominated in yen, but has not followed a fixed pattern. Buffett stated that there is no prediction regarding future foreign exchange rates, aiming to maintain a neutral position in terms of currency.

ChainCatcher news, Citigroup strategists indicate that due to the risks posed by Trump's policy proposals, the current 4.5% gain in U.S. stocks this year may already be the best short-term outcome.The team led by Scott Chronert stated that investors are betting that Trump's "America First" policy will have a "favorable impact on businesses." "We do not oppose this, but we also believe that the potential damage to the fundamentals may not yet be priced in. Our outlook for the year has not changed significantly, but the near- to medium-term downside risks have slightly increased." The performance of U.S. stocks in 2025 lags behind global markets due to concerns that Trump's protectionism and proposed import tariffs may spur inflation. Investors are also questioning the high valuations of tech giants, with four of the seven giants (Apple, Tesla, Alphabet, and Microsoft) currently in decline. Compared to the peak at the end of 2023, the contribution of the seven giants to earnings growth has also slowed.Chronert noted that the current momentum is coming from other parts of the S&P 500 index, with signs of the rally expanding beyond large tech stocks, but so far it has been limited to other large-cap stocks.
