The volatile meeting between Presidents Trump and Zelensky a couple of Fridays ago may have rattled investors – markets don’t like surprises. However, as the article below mentions, many of the so-called ‘shocks’ we’re seeing now were actually signposted long ago.?
Trump has long promised to broker an end to the war in Ukraine for example, it’s just we weren’t expecting the aggressive tone of the exchange between the two leaders.
Similarly, investors remain on edge over the 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico, even though Trump has been vocal about protectionist trade policies.?
The key takeaway is that volatility is often driven more by how news is delivered than by the news itself. For investors, the challenge is filtering out the noise and remembering, the picture itself hasn’t changed.
Have a great week.
