How can you prepare for sudden tariff news?
-
With not much trading activity around Presidents' Day, are traders getting too worked up over the FOMC and GDP chatter? If new tariff information suddenly changes inflation, what’s the best way to position yourself without getting thrown off by every little headline?

It's a good idea to focus on sectors like healthcare or utilities because they're not significantly affected by tariffs. High-quality companies that possess pricing power often navigate these economic shocks most effectively. Don't let the holiday-week noise distract you; the FOMC’s March meeting and the 2.3% GDP print matter much more. Keep some cash as dry powder for real opportunities instead of making knee-jerk moves.
