ALL THE MONEY NEWS YOU NEED TO KNOW

Wed Apr 2 2025

 

Daniel de Visé Personal Finance Reporter

Good morning! It's Daniel de Visé with your Daily Money, "Liberation Day" edition.

If you thought President Trump didn't care about the stock market, then the timing of his hotly anticipated tariff announcement might change your mind.

Trump will unveil his global tariffs plan today at 4 p.m., just as markets close. Stocks have been on a rollercoaster ride, mostly downhill, since the Trump administration began its campaign of import taxes.

Art of the tariff deal

Trump has brought the country to the brink of a global trade war. Today, we will begin to see whether his gamble pays off.

The Republican president and his advisers are defying even most conservative economists by enacting tariffs that are expected to hit every major country, and U.S. consumers, with as-yet-unspecified taxes on imported goods. The retro approach has been years in the making, with Trump refusing to back down in the face of a tumbling stock market and public recriminations from top allies.

Is there still time to buy an untaxed auto?
