As tariffs and the White House’s economic policies are expected to keep increasing prices across America will the US stock market continue to drop all year? U.S. stocks struggled on Tuesday, with the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq touching one-month lows as U.S. households get more pessimistic about the economy because of inflation, tariffs and other policies coming from Washington. 🇺🇸 The increase in pessimism was broad-based and carried across both higher- and lower-income households, as well as older and younger ones.

Given the number of layoffs happening across many industries with pay/benefits being extended for several months, can we expect a stock market crash in the spring/summer as Americans losing their jobs will eventually have to cut back on spending? 🇺🇸

In recent days, weak U.S. retail sales, consumer confidence and services purchasing managers' reports, combined with higher-than-expected consumer price inflation, have eroded stock market confidence and, amid uncertainty over a barrage of federal government layoffs, have put U.S. stagflation in center of investor calculations. 🇺🇸

More and more layoffs across America? 🇺🇸 Won’t Americans without jobs cut back on spending? How will this effect the US economy? Trump’s funding freeze illegally bypasses Congress’s constitutional power to decide how federal funds are spent, the attorneys general wrote. The city of Phoenix, Arizona alone relies on $3.255 billion in federal grants, according to Mayor Gallego, with more than $1.6 billion now frozen. Phoenix’s police and fire departments could lose more than $35 million and Sky Harbor Airport is still waiting for around $130 million now frozen federal grants it was awarded for infrastructure updates.

Will the U.S. stock market continue its downward slide for the next few months? Or for the next few years? 🇺🇸 U.S. stocks tumbled on Friday, extending their selloff in the wake of dour economic reports, new tariff threats from President Trump, and worries of softening consumer demand. 🇺🇸 All three major U.S. stock indexes moved decisively lower on the heels of the data. Economic data showed U.S. business activity decelerating and consumer sentiment deteriorating.
