Market participants report that placing long-term investment bets has become more challenging than at any time since the 2020 COVID-19 crisis. The frequent changes in tariff scenarios have undermined the ability of economic forecasters to provide accurate guidance, leading to a loss of consensus that traditionally anchors market expectations. This heightened uncertainty is contributing to a sense of disorientation among investors worldwide.
