The main indices of Wall Street were almost stable on Friday, while investors expected more clarity about the reciprocal tariff plans of the president of the United States, Donald Trump, after the strong profits of the latest sessions.
Trump commissioned his economic team on Thursday the elaboration of plans to impose reciprocal tariffs on all countries that tax US imports, although the directive did not impose new measures.
“The news about tariffs created a lot of volatility about two weeks ago, but right now it seems that the markets are looking further,” said Larry Tentarelli, chief technical strategist and founder of Blue Chip Daily Trend Report.
“Markets probably see tariffs more as a negotiation tool than anything else.”
The imposition of tariffs on steel and aluminum imports, a greater increase than expected in January consumer prices and the hard line comments of the Federal Reserve, Jerome Powell, joined market volatility this week this week this week , and uncertainty is likely to persist.
