State of the Markets: Tracking S&P 500 and Dow Performance
President Trump's plan for a sweeping tariff on steel and aluminum imports is causing investors to worry about a possible trade war. Fidelity's John Gagliardi joined Cheddar to provide insight into market movements.
Gagliardi breaks down how to approach the markets through three charts. He walks us through long-term, medium-term, and short-term graphs to highlight key takeaways in historical market patterns.
Gagliardi points out that in a short-term chart, you can see the new normal in the S&P 500 is higher highs and higher lows. This is a sign that we're still in a secular bull market, according to Gagliardi.

American businesses that rely on Chinese goods are reacting with muted relief after the U.S. and China agreed to pause their exorbitant tariffs on each other’s products for 90 days. Many companies delayed or canceled orders after President Donald Trump last month put a 145% tariff on items made in China. Importers still face relatively high tariffs, however, as well as uncertainty over what will happen in the coming weeks and months. The temporary truce was announced as retailers and their suppliers are looking to finalize their plans and orders for the holiday shopping season. They’re concerned a mad scramble to get goods onto ships will lead to bottlenecks and increased shipping costs.
