Stocks increased this Sunday following President Trump's recent tariff announcements. The decision to exempt smartphones, computers, and semiconductors from new reciprocal tariffs provided temporary relief to tech firms, although uncertainty remains due to suggestions from the administration that these exemptions could change. Tariffs bouncing back and forth create market anxiety around trade policy and its potential economic impact. You never know what will happen randomly and how much you have to chance your operating systems just to get the tariff changed back. Looking forward, the stability of the U.S. market hinges on developments in trade negotiations, particularly between the U.S. and China, and continued Federal Reserve responses to changes.

The tariff exemption offers short-term relief, but the constant policy shifts are creating worrying challenges for businesses in their efforts to plan primarily in terms of investments. It'll be interesting to see how the Fed will try to address this issue.
I think the constant back-and-forth on tariffs creates unnecessary stress for businesses and investors who need stability to plan ahead. I hope the U.S.–China negotiations lead to a more consistent trade policy so companies don’t have to constantly pivot their strategies.
