- Tariff Risk Resurgence: EU retaliation tariffs are back in focus, reviving trade risk concerns as markets attempt to stabilize, with potential second-order effects on supply chains and margins particularly impacting globally exposed industrials and multinationals.
- Credit Card APR Cap: The credit card APR cap effective January 20 has quickly emerged as a significant risk for financials, raising concerns about margin compression and reduced credit availability, even if the policy is temporary or subject to revision.
- Software Sector Pressure: The software industry is once again acting as a release valve in a risk-off environment, with investors selling high-multiple growth stocks like Snowflake and Salesforce amid policy uncertainty, leading to significant downward pressure on these stocks.
- Consumer Lending Reaction: Stocks tied to consumer lending and payments, such as SoFi and American Express, are reacting to headline risks before any actual policy details are finalized, indicating a notable market response despite the lack of concrete policy changes.
