President Trump has posted a new announcement on Truth Social, the social media platform. He wrote:
“Despite the massive amount of money being made by the United States of America, Hundreds of Billions of Dollars, as a direct result of Tariffs being charged to other countries, the full benefit of the Tariffs has not yet been calculated in that many of the buyers of goods and products, in order to avoid paying the Tariffs in the short term, “STOCK UP” by purchasing far more inventory than they can use. That heavy inventory purchase is now, however, wearing thin, and soon Tariffs will be paid on everything they apply to, without avoidance, and the amounts payable to the USA will SKYROCKET, over and above the already historic levels of dollars received. These payments will be RECORD SETTING, and put our Nation on a new and unprecedented course. We are already the “hottest” Country anywhere in the World, but this Tariff POWER will bring America National Security and Wealth the likes of which has never been seen before. Those opposing us are serving hostile foreign interests that are not aligned with the success, safety and prosperity of the USA. They couldn’t care less about us. I look so much forward to the United States Supreme Court’s decision on this urgent and time sensitive matter so that we can continue, in an uninterrupted manner to, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DJT”
How Will Trump’s Statement Affect the Stock Market?
This latest post has the potential to affect the stock market. That’s because Donald Trump’s statement suggests that the full impact of tariffs on international trade is yet to be realized, which could lead to increased revenue for the U.S. and potentially boost industrial sectors. This anticipation of higher tariff payments might positively influence investor sentiment towards industrial ETFs like Vanguard Industrials ETF, Industrial Select Sector SPDR Fund, and iShares U.S. Industrials ETF, as they could benefit from increased national economic strength. However, the uncertainty surrounding the Supreme Court’s decision and potential international trade tensions could also introduce volatility into these markets.
Here are some of the stocks that might be affected:
Vanguard Industrials ETF ((VIS)),
Industrial Select Sector SPDR Fund ((XLI)),
iShares U.S. Industrials ETF ((IYJ)).
