  • The Trump administration implemented 25% tariffs against Canada and Mexico on March 4, as well as an additional 10% tariff on goods from China -- bringing the total tariff on Chinese-made goods to 20%.

The article from MSN Money discusses the implications of former President Donald Trump's tariffs on U.S. imports, which have now taken effect, and provides guidance on how investors should adjust their portfolios in response. It highlights that these tariffs could lead to increased costs for businesses, potentially resulting in higher prices for consumers, which might dampen economic growth. The article suggests that investors might want to consider sectors less affected by tariffs, like technology or healthcare, or look into companies with strong domestic supply chains. It also recommends diversifying investments internationally to mitigate risks associated with U.S. trade policies. Furthermore, the piece advises keeping an eye on inflation rates, as tariffs could contribute to inflation, and suggests that investors might benefit from assets that perform well during inflationary periods, such as commodities or real estate investment trusts (REITs). Lastly, it emphasizes the importance of staying informed about policy changes and being prepared to adapt investment strategies accordingly.
