Today’s market activity is highlighted by the implementation of new tariffs on imports from a large number of countries, including those in the European Union, which will now face customs duties of 15%.
Despite concerns that these tariffs could harm the economy, investor sentiment has been buoyed by Federal Reserve interest rate cut expectations and a series of positive corporate earnings reports.
