Stocks swing on Trump's trade war tweets — how do you protect your 401(k) from the volatility?
Are you nervous about the Dow’s wild swings, brought on by trade war tweets from President Donald Trump or announcements from China saying a trade deal with the United States is on or off the table?Market volatility driven by trade and tariffs isn’t likely to fade anytime soon despite the two economic superpowers agreeing Friday to a “Phase 1” deal. The United States agreed to roll back some tariffs on Chinese imports and cancel a round of levies that was set to hit Dec. 15.
That means 401 investors can expect periodic market drops on negative trade news, such as the Dow’s 724-point plunge March 22, 2018, when Trump first proposed hitting China with $60 billion in tariffs. What’s a 401 investor to do? Should you put up a wall around your stock holdings to dodge any future, trade-driven sell-offs? Or climb out of your bunker and bet that the trade dispute won’t deteriorate or perhaps that it'll even be resolved in a bullish way?
“If trade war risks go down, markets rally,” Mortimer says. The stocks that will rally the most, he predicts, are ones most “tethered to economic growth.”
