S&P/TSX composite up more than 100 points, U.S. stocks mixed ahead of tariff day
- On Tuesday, Asian and European stock markets advanced as investors braced for US President Donald Trump's impending tariffs, which he dubbed "Liberation Day" due Wednesday.
- Market unease and fears of a recession in the world's largest economy were stoked by the lack of details surrounding the new round of reciprocal levies expected to be imposed by the White House.
- While the Tokyo stock market closed flat due to heavy selling of car giants Toyota and Honda, other markets such as Hong Kong, Shanghai, Paris, Frankfurt, and London experienced gains, and Vietnam announced it would slash duties on certain goods.
- Ahead of Trump's tariff policy rollout, Kathleen Brooks of XTB stated, "Hopes are that a recovery rally could take hold if Trump's tariff announcements are seen as the final move from the White House in its trade war."
- As global markets prepared for the tariffs, analysts like Joshua Mahony warned of a potential "tit-for-tat trade war" and Jose Torres suggested the impact of "April 2" may be "lighter-than-feared," potentially producing a rally in risk assets.
