  • This marks the beginning of Trade War 2.0. For investors, this means it's time to rethink exposure to tariff-sensitive sectors. Some industries will benefit from reshoring and U.S. manufacturing incentives, while others will struggle with higher costs. Let's break down the playbook.

The article from FXStreet titled "Trade War 2.0 Playbook: What It Means for Your Portfolio" discusses the potential implications of escalating trade tensions, particularly between the U.S. and China, on global markets and investment portfolios. It outlines how investors might need to adjust their strategies in light of new tariffs, trade barriers, and geopolitical tensions.

The article advises investors to keep an eye on policy changes, monitor supply chain shifts, and possibly increase exposure to companies with strong domestic markets or those that can benefit from trade reconfigurations.
