Market may rebound after series of falls

The rally did not last long, and neither did the S&P 500. From the US presidential election to its February highs, the broad stock index gained over $3.4 trillion in market capitalization. However, Donald Trump wiped out these gains by imposing 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada, forcing investors to pull their money out. The stock market returned to where it was when the Republican won. Does this leave room for a deeper correction?

As the S&P 500 kept moving downwards, investors speculated on when the White House would throw it a lifeline. Some believed it would happen when the index dropped back to pre-election levels. Others pointed to a 10% decline, recalling similar patterns from Trump's first term. Now that this drop has materialized, the president remains silent. However, his commerce secretary, Howard Lutnick, has hinted at a possible deal with Canada and Mexico. Could this be Trump's version of a put option?

S&P 500 Performance

According to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, the stock market is enduring short-term tariff pain for the sake of long-term prosperity. However, confidence in this vision is fading. A string of disappointing macroeconomic reports has led the Atlanta Fed's leading indicator to signal a US GDP contraction as early as the first quarter. Fears of a recession are sending investors fleeing like rats from a sinking ship, dragging the S&P 500 down.

It is, of course, too early to draw long-term conclusions based on just a few reports. However, the White House has pushed uncertainty to extreme levels, making business planning difficult and impacting the US economy. The situation is also aggravated by retaliatory measures from other countries and Elon Musk's initiative to downsize the federal government. If history repeats itself, just as in Trump's first term when the US faced an economic downturn toward the end, another recession may be on the horizon.

Economic Policy Uncertainty Trends

Will Donald Trump even bother to save the S&P 500? Judging by his social media activity, he seems to have lost interest in the stock market. During his first term, he mentioned it 156 times, 60 of which were in the first year alone. Since November, however, out of his 126 posts, only one referenced stock indices.

Without rolling back tariffs on Mexico and Canada, it is hard to expect the stock market to find a bottom, especially with potential new tariffs against the European Union coming in April.

From a technical perspective, the S&P 500 has already hit both short-position targets at 5,830 and 5,750 on the daily chart. A rebound from the latter resistance level increases the risk of consolidation. Given the current setup, a strategy of buying on dips and selling on rallies seems reasonable.
