Some hope of progress was given on Friday when Trump made comments that an 80 % tariff on Chinese goods” seems right.” He made his first suggestion for a specialized alternative to the 145 % levies.
The P 500 stock index, the benchmark S&P 500, has previously wiped out the rough losses that were reported right away following the tariff announcement on April 2, but businesses continue to e-mail investors about their potential effects and the uncertainty they cause in earnings-related comments.
The S&, P 500 is still down about 8 % from its all-time low in February, or about 4 % for the year.
