After the US court ruling – stock jumps and warnings: "We may get into a vicious circle"

The US Supreme Court's ruling against President Trump's trade powers has caused significant fluctuations in the stock market, particularly impacting technology companies.

The recent decision by the US Supreme Court has led to notable movements in the stock market, particularly benefiting technology companies that have shown strong performance this year. Investors, concerned about the high valuations of US tech firms, are shifting their focus to more affordable investment opportunities. This shift comes in the wake of the ruling that declared the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) does not grant the president the authority to impose tariffs, which has added to market uncertainty.

Following the ruling, President Trump expressed his frustration by promising to implement a global 10% tariff under a separate authority, which he later increased to 15%. However, these measures are limited by numerous exceptions and are legally valid for a maximum of 150 days. Investors are now facing a complex situation as they navigate potential tariffs and the implications of the court's decision on the broader market dynamics, leading to widespread calls for federal authorities to reconsider the tariffs introduced under this new strategy.

Overall, this legal ruling has shaken the markets, raising concerns over how federal trade policy might unfold in the near future. Still, with the technology sector seeing immediate gains, analysts are warning that these fluctuations could trap investors in a cycle of uncertainty, hindering long-term investment strategies and overall market stability. The interplay between new tariffs and the sluggish growth of some sectors may exacerbate these issues moving forward.
