Market Response
In terms of market reaction, reciprocal tariffs may have a direct impact on industries related to imports and exports. For example, U.S. manufacturing companies may face higher raw material costs, while export-oriented firms may be hindered by retaliatory tariffs. Investors may thus turn to safe-haven assets, such as U.S. Treasury bonds or gold, and the dollar may strengthen due to increased demand for safety. According to recent market data, trade-related stocks (such as Boeing and Tesla) may come under pressure, and the volatility index (VIX) may rise. If the VIX index exceeds 40, it indicates that the market may be experiencing irrational panic about future events.
