After much anticipation, the tariff band-aid was finally ripped off on Wednesday, April 2. Unfortunately for the stock market, the news was painful as the White House rolled out 10% universal tariffs on all imports coming into the country, with additional duties levied on countries operating with large trade deficits with the U.S. The size and scope of the tariffs caught the market off guard, causing a sharp sell-off in global equity markets as market participants assessed the potential impact of the new trade policies on economic growth, inflation, interest rates, and corporate profits.
