The announcement of new tariffs by President Donald Trump, referred to as 'Liberation Day' tariffs, has caused significant turmoil in global financial markets. The S&P 500 dropped 4.8%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 4%, and the Nasdaq Composite declined 6%. Companies with global exposure, such as Nike, Apple, Amazon, and Walmart, experienced sharp declines. Amid the market volatility, analysts have identified defensive investment opportunities. These include companies in the automotive parts sector, such as Genuine Parts Company and O'Reilly Automotive, which are seen as resilient due to their ability to pass on higher costs to customers and benefit from increased demand for vehicle maintenance. In the technology sector, software companies like Microsoft, Salesforce, Intuit, Workday, and Adobe have been highlighted as relatively safer investments, with some analysts noting their attractive valuations following recent market corrections. Investors are also turning to traditional safe havens, such as gold and cash, while others are exploring opportunities in European equities, including DAX-listed companies and BNP Paribas, and reassessing their strategies for Chinese markets. The shift from the 'ABC' (Anywhere But China) approach to 'All Bets on China' reflects changing investor sentiment. The overall outlook remains uncertain as the market adjusts to the new trade policies.
