ICYMI, in a note Citi analysts cautioned that Trump's proposed tariffs could lead to a decline in S&P 500 earnings by a few percentage points.

  • They noted that the market has not yet fully accounted for this risk, particularly with the new tariffs targeting China, Canada, and Mexico.
  • Industries with substantial trade exposure, such as Canada's energy exports, are likely to feel the impact.
