Financial analysts predict that the regulation could either stabilize the market or lead to a regulatory overhaul. Historical trends suggest that regulatory clarity could boost investor confidence, yet overly stringent measures may hamper innovation.

As noted in the economic trends study, “Just when CEOs finally started talking about the tangible impacts they believe Trump’s Tariff Turmoil (TTT) was having on business, President Trump did an about-face and authorized a 90-day pause on reciprocal tariffs… CEOs were a very cautious bunch. Some predicted a US recession; some trimmed the 2025 forecasts for their companies; some noted that every conceivable countermeasure to mitigate tariff impacts, from cost cutting to raising prices, was on the table. Smaller companies… faced tough times.” [1]
