Kenneth L Fisher analyzes how Trump tariffs hit US stocks hard
@KennethLFisher: Trump tariffs hit US stocks
Kenneth L. Fisher, a well-known investor and financial columnist, discusses in his latest column for the New York Post the decline of US stocks in 2025. According to Fisher, the United States has surprisingly fallen out of the Top 40 in global stock rankings.
Fisher attributes this downturn to the 'Trump tariffs', suggesting that these trade measures have hindered the competitiveness of US companies on the international stage. As tariffs increase the cost of imports, affected industries have struggled to manage added expenses and maintain market share. This economic environment has posed significant challenges for investors, and Fisher's insights offer an intricate evaluation of the consequences.
The analysis suggests that the tariffs, initially intended to bolster domestic manufacturing, have had the unintended consequence of diminishing the appeal of US equities to global investors. This drop illustrates a significant shift in the global markets landscape, emphasizing the interconnected nature of economic policies and stock performance.

Fisher’s observations align with his prior evaluation of the broader consequences surrounding the implementation of Trump tariffs on stock markets, where he delved into how protectionist measures have shaped investor sentiment. The current shift also brings renewed focus to those regions demonstrating resilience amid policy-driven volatility, a theme Fisher expanded upon while assessing Europe’s market leadership and value-rich dynamics in the global investment landscape.
