Why Tariffs 'Aren’t the Problem' In the Stock Market: Veteran Trader.
Trader Talk host Kenny Polcari argues that the real issue in the stock market is not the tariffs themselves but rather the panic and knee-jerk reactions of investors to tariff announcements. Despite ongoing concerns regarding escalating trade talks and potential tariff increases, Polcari emphasizes that markets often rebound after initial sell-offs as companies adapt and trade deals are renegotiated.
