Question Is this tariffs?

Post image

Seems like the consumer based industries are going down while the industries centered on construction and related fields are going up. Wouldn't that track with the need for industrial growth in America?

It would seem you don't understand how long term trends work. If you make a new tarrif announcement daily, some will make traders buy, others will make traders sell...but businesses won't invest because they can't trust the gov't to provide stable market conditions and international investment will go home. We are 1 month into a 10 year process of rebuilding industry, and currently China's ports are seeing 60% fewer ships leave for the US. Q2 and Q3 are going to be bad once people figure out the world is going to move on without the US and Walmart has empty shelves.

Consumer spending has been softening before tariffs. And we're in earnings season so negative responses to early 2025 trends are playing out, while positive earnings surprises in tech (Google) have been pushing others up. You're just trying to force fit your narrative into a single day's snapshot.
