Global financial markets gave a clear vote of no-confidence in President Trump’s economic policy.<\/p>\n

The damage it will do is obvious: costs for companies will rise, hitting their earnings.<\/p>\n

These are massive unknowns, which are piled on to uncertainty about how countries will respond. China has already retaliated and Europe has indicated it will go further.<\/p>\n

That will compound the problems for the global economy and undoubtedly send shivers through the markets.<\/p>\n

Much is yet to be determined, but if there’s one thing markets hate, it’s uncertainty.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
