Barclays analysts predict U.S. equities may continue to rise despite confusion over Trump’s tariff policies. Markets could stay positive during the 90-day tariff pause, creating a window for diplomacy. S&P 500 closed at 5,606.91 on Tuesday, down 0.8%. Market sentiment is optimistic ahead of U.S.-China trade talks in Switzerland. Current tariffs include a 10% base rate on various goods and sector-specific duties on steel, aluminum, and autos.

Investor sentiment is improving as the market recovers from Trump’s tariff shock in April. With trade negotiations ongoing and the White House easing tariffs, optimism is growing. Macroeconomic signals are mixed, with Q1 GDP contracting, inflation expectations rising, but consumer spending and job growth remaining strong.
