President Donald Trump doubled U.S. tariffs on steel and aluminum imports from all U.S. trade partners to 50 percent on June 4. The only country that will remain at 25 percent is the United Kingdom, though that depends on the outcome of the trade deal the country negotiated with the United States last month. More From Our Experts The White House cast the tariffs as a crackdown on subsidized metals coming out of China that flooded global markets and—the administration argues—put U.S. producers out of business.

For many investors (and some advisors) it felt like 2022 déjà vu when both stocks and bonds tanked by double digits amid high inflation and a series of Fed interest-rate hikes.Some clients may be fearful that bonds are no longer a reliable hedge against stock market volatility. I wouldn’t go that far, but now might be a good time to review the…
