[QUOTE="Alice G, post: 11155, member: 1160"] [USER=2023]@D.Cole[/USER] my story will be live as of tomorrow and I struggled to write up about impacts myself a bit really! But stocks slumped pretty badly yesterday in light of China’s announcement to retaliate with their own tariffs on American goods. Analysts have been quick to opine that market volatility will last a few weeks until talks become closer to a resolution and some have warned about a possible recession.

Businesses do not want to invest and engage in deals when the future is so uncertain and when projections of success are difficult to ascertain. Some businesses will also have to absorb the costs of the tariffs on goods.
