U.S. Stock Market prediction: Wall Street to sink under President Donald Trump’s 100 per cent tariff on China? Here’s what experts are saying

US President Donald Trump announced on Friday that he would impose 100 percent additional tariffs on China and threatened to cancel a summit with Xi Jinping, reigniting the trade war with Beijing over export restrictions on rare earth minerals. Trump said extra tariffs, as well as U.S. export controls on “all types of critical software,” would go into effect starting Nov. 1 in retaliation for what he called “extraordinarily aggressive” moves by Beijing. Chinese goods currently face 30 percent U.S. tariffs due to tariffs and unfair practices imposed by Trump while accusing Beijing of aiding the fentanyl trade. China had announced earlier on Friday that it would impose “special port charges” on ships operated and built here by the United States, after Washington announced charges against Chinese-linked ships in April. Stock markets fell as the trade war between the US and China reignited; The Nasdaq fell 3.6 percent and the S&P 500 fell 2.7 percent.

Washington and Beijing engaged in a tit-for-tat tariff war earlier this year that threatened to effectively halt trade between the world’s two largest economies. Trump had threatened the tariffs hours earlier in a lengthy and surprising post on the Truth Social network, saying he had sent letters detailing China’s export controls on rare earth minerals.

Rare earth elements are critical in the production of everything from smartphones to electric vehicles, from military hardware to renewable energy technology. China dominates the global production and processing of these materials.
President Trump said he did not cancel the meeting with Xi, but tariff threats sent market heavyweight stocks lower. Nvidia, Tesla, Amazon.com and Advanced Micro Devices all fell more than 2 percent after the bell.

JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon warned in an interview with the BBC on Wednesday that there is an increased risk of a significant correction on Wall Street in the next six months to two years.

“With the high valuation of stocks, this sell-off is a sign of tensions,” said Gene Goldman, chief investment officer of Cetera Investment Management. Again Goldman said, “Everything is priced perfectly, so uncertainty increases anxiety in the market. All of this adds uncertainty to economic growth.” In April, Trump’s announcement of what he called Independence Day tariffs stunned markets and sent investors into a tailspin, causing S&P 500 companies to lose a combined $2.4 trillion in market value. But some investors say recent US-China trade tensions are unlikely to significantly change the market trend, where artificial intelligence remains a driving factor.

Ocean Park Asset Management chief investment officer James St. “This is certainly a significant issue and may require a pullback, but I don’t think it will derail the AI ​​theme that is driving the market,” Aubin said.
