The recent drop in global markets after U.S. tariff threats shows how fragile investor confidence really is. Personally, I think it’s incredible how a single announcement can ripple across continents, wiping billions in value. What surprises me is how quickly traders react, often before policies are even finalized. For me, the most relevant aspect is the psychological side of markets—fear moves faster than facts. I believe this volatility highlights the interconnectedness of economies, where no country is insulated anymore. In the end, tariffs may aim to protect domestic industries, but the collateral damage is global, affecting pensions, savings, and everyday people far removed from trade negotiations.
