U.S. and global financial markets are increasingly displaying resilience amid President Donald Trump's evolving tariff strategy, with investors becoming less reactive to new trade announcements. According to Reuters, this shift signals that markets may be pricing in the possibility of negotiated deals or tariff exemptions ahead of the Aug. 1 deadline set by the White House.
Carol Fong, CEO of CGS International Securities Group, explained in a recent interview that "investors are no longer reacting as sharply to tariff changes or tariff-related statements," suggesting that markets are adapting to a prolonged period of trade policy uncertainty.
