[QUOTE="Jaysen, post: 290, member: 1"] Private equity - it depends on the type of companies they own and to what extent uncertainty impacts their incentive to invest. But yes, target companies in these industries may be subject to lower valuations if their profits fall because of the tariffs. Project finance - Yes I'd think so. Companies in the construction and oil industries may put projects on hold or they may look to fix the cost of imports by entering into hedging. I'd say more-so for equity markets. At times of uncertainty, investors tend to move away from stocks and into safer assets. These safer assets include commodities like gold, US government bonds or currencies like the Japanese yen. So I'd expect share prices to fall but bond prices to rise. The main exception to that is defensive stocks like healthcare, utilities and telecoms. They tend to keep their value at times of uncertainty. [/QUOTE]
