Do Tariffs Have Any Positive?
With the events of late, we at Patriot Asset Advisors would like to add some positives to the negatives. With the world's markets experiencing new political and economic pressures, and the stock markets’ negative response, it does not mean the markets do not still have value. We have seen turmoil before, and we will see turmoil again. Remember the Dotcom bubble, the financial crisis, the Covid Pandemic, and the recent Bank failures.
Investment markets do not like economic questions. And right now, we have economic questions. How will all of this play out? We do not believe anyone really knows. At Patriot, we believe we can focus on the positive regardless of what the media displays. So here is the positive; Quality, Diversity and a well-developed plan will see us through as it has in these recent downturns.
The following are some very relevant questions.
- Will tariffs push the U.S. and the rest of the world into a recession?
- Will inflation start to increase and employment decrease?
- Will foreign governments and our allies retaliate? Will the currency valuations be impacted?
- Will interest rates climb higher?
We are here to help! Consider the following.
Don't panic. We believe in time this will pass. History shows the markets reach new highs. Reassess your cash and cashflow. Is it adequate?
Do you need to rebalance your allocations? Are you stock heavy or bond heavy? Are you heavily invested in U.S. Technology stocks?
Are you positioned for the emergence of this new free trade environment?
