T&G Market Recap #98: šŸš€ TARIFFS, TECH EARNINGS & JOBS: Is the Market About to CRASH?! 🌊

Trump's new tariffs, Big Tech earnings, and a make-or-break jobs report... what could go wrong? šŸ˜‚

Our #98 Episode Is Presented By Our Proud Sponsor

Hey there, market watchers! šŸ‘‹

If you caught our latest YouTube episode, "TARIFFS, TECH & CHAOS?! 🌊 Market MELTDOWN or BUY THE DIP?" you know we covered the wild ride that markets are on right now. But in case you missed it—or just want the TL;DR—here's your quick recap. Let’s dive in! šŸ’ø

šŸ“¦ Trump Tariffs: The Plot Twist No One Wanted (But Here We Are)

  • 25% tariffs on Canada & Mexico šŸ‡ØšŸ‡¦šŸ‡²šŸ‡½

  • 10% tariffs on China šŸ‡ØšŸ‡³

Why? Apparently, to tackle issues like fentanyl and illegal migration. Because what screams "solution" more than making avocados and electronics more expensive, right? šŸ™„

But hold up… Canada clapped back with their own 25% counter-tariffs on $107 BILLION of American goods. And you bet Mexico and China are plotting their next moves too.

Investor takeaway: This could mean volatility ahead, but volatility = opportunity for the savvy trader. Keep an eye on import-heavy sectors. šŸ‘€

šŸ“ˆ Markets React: Panic, Profit, or Just Another Tuesday?

  • S&P 500: +2.7% in January, but feeling jittery post-tariff news.

  • Dow: Up 4.7% last month, but now wobbling like your Wi-Fi during a Zoom call.

  • Nasdaq: Hanging in there, powered by Big Tech optimism.

Pro Tip: Short-term dips? Maybe. Long-term? This could be a 🌟 BUY THE DIP 🌟 moment for select stocks.

šŸŒ Global Drama: Trade Wars & Economic Flexing

Canada, Mexico, and China aren't just taking hits—they're swinging back. This tit-for-tat could impact:

  • Consumer goods (think: your next iPhone might cost more)

  • Automobiles (say goodbye to car deals)

  • Agriculture (bad news for farmers, good news for meme traders)

Stay nimble. This could be the start of a trade chess match with global ripple effects.

šŸ“ˆ Fed Watch: Rates on Ice... For Now

  • Interest rates: Holding steady

  • Inflation: Hovering like that one coworker who won’t take a hint

  • Jobs Report: Coming Friday, expected to show 150K new jobs

Key stat to watch: Unemployment rate. If it jumps, expect market jitters and possibly, just maybe, a Fed rate cut sooner than June.

šŸ’° Big Tech Earnings: The Market’s Favorite Soap Opera

  • Amazon (AMZN): Will they keep winning, or are we finally over Prime Day?

  • Google (GOOGL): Is AI still the buzzword of the year?

  • Chipotle (CMG): Burrito sales = economic indicator. (Yes, really.)

Strong earnings could keep the bull market alive, even with all the tariff drama.

šŸš€ What to Watch This Week:

  • Monday: ISM Manufacturing PMI (is the factory slump finally over?)

  • Wednesday: ADP Payrolls (spoiler: people still working)

  • Friday: The Big One - January Jobs Report. Expect fireworks, folks. šŸŽ†

šŸ”Š Final Thoughts: Panic or Profit?

Despite the chaos, the bull market seems intact. Strong earnings are the glue holding it all together.

Your move:

  • Stay informed.

  • Watch for dips.

  • Don’t panic (unless you enjoy the drama).
