Today, Linda is explaining how Trump’s trade war with Canada and Mexico is affecting the stock market and the economy. The Dow, the SMP500, and the NASDAQ have all seen swings and drops following the announcement of the tariffs–and the stock market will continue to oscillate due to the instability of the news cycle. Economists are concerned about the possibility of an upcoming recession, due to the potential instability of the GDP, and upcoming contractions in American imports and exports.
