Stock market indices are seeing moderate declines on Monday, as President Donald Trump announced that the United States will impose 30 percent tariffs on goods from the European Union and Mexico starting August 1. At the time of this writing, the Nasdaq cash market index is losing 0.1%, the S&P500 is losing 0.15% and the Russell 2000 is up nearly 0.20%.
Investors are estimating all the time the possibility of a deal on tariffs. It is worth noting that behind the indication that this is just a negotiating game are the words of Trump, who writes in a letter to the EU: "If you want to open your previously closed trade markets to the US and eliminate your tariffs and non-tariff barriers, we will consider adjusting your rates." In addition, it is worth noting that the Trump administration has repeatedly changed its position - in May it threatened 50% tariffs, and in April reciprocal tariffs were to be 20%. More recently, there has been discussion of maintaining a broad 10% rate.
