The new economic environment has shifted to a new view lately, especially as the implications of new trade tariffs rolled out by President Trump start to take effect on both the psychology and budget of the consumer. More than that, business owners and managers are now starting to make buying decisions based on the potential impact of these tariffs as well. All of this volatility and change does create an opportunity, but only for those who know what to look for.
After realizing that bottlenecks were going to come into the scene faster than expected, President Trump exempted auto parts and auto makers from these trade tariffs, perhaps just in time for the latest set of monthly retail sales data to have rolled out, which showed a specific move and impact in the automotive sector. There are some strategies for these tariffs, but more importantly, they are a great gauge for investors to consider moving forward.
