The stock market rally, to Donald Trump, signals that Wall Street favors tariffs, although investors believe Trump is likely to back down.
Traders and strategists are skeptical of the full implementation of tariffs and anticipate Trump to moderate his stance, leading to a subdued market reaction to trade war threats.
Despite Trump's confidence in market endorsement of his economic policies, some experts warn of potential risks such as worsened inflation and negative impact on corporate profit margins.
While there are concerns of market complacency and exaggerated optimism, market reactions suggest little worry about economy or stock valuations as speculative trades continue to surge.
