The Insider Report: Risk-Off Trades Run The Tape – What Comes Next?

Editor’s Note: Every week, Benzinga Edge members receive the Insider Report. It’s a rundown of what to expect from the markets in the week to come, which sectors are outperforming and why, and most importantly, a selection of hand-picked stocks that are poised to move up because of that week’s trends. Here’s a sneak peek:

Automobile tariffs were the center of attention last week, with President Trump announcing a 25% rate on finished vehicles coming into the U.S. There is a loophole on these tariffs with auto parts, but companies that do a lot of assembly abroad will certainly be feeling the pinch.

Tariffs are obviously the hot topic in a lot of economic circles right now. For decades, markets were accustomed to lower international trade barriers, but like anything else, nothing comes without a price, and that price was paid from domestic manufacturing shrinking in the U.S.

The thing to understand in this situation is just how much the U.S. economy consumes. It accounts for roughly 70% of the U.S. economy. I've remarked before on how inflation is most responsible for modifications in consumer behavior. Americans will continue to spend, but it looks like more substitutions will be coming by the wayside.
