'The Trade War Has Lost All Credibility:' Markets Shrug Off Trump's Tariff Blitz On Multiple Countries
As President Donald Trump unveiled a blitz of new tariffs across different countries on Thursday, the markets remained largely unfazed by the move. What Happened: On Thursday, in a post on X, The Kobeissi Letter highlighted the market's muted response to Trump's sweeping new moves on the trade and tariff front. The post notes that Trump 'randomly' increased tariffs on Canada, the largest trading partner of the United States, from 25% to 35%. Followed by a string of new tariffs on others, such as 'Vietnam, Switzerland, South Africa, Taiwan, Cambodia, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Turkey, and Venezuela.' Trending: 7,000+ investors have joined Timeplast's mission to eliminate microplastics—now it's your turn to Yet, the market response was underwhelming, with S&P 500 futures 'down a mere 10 points,' which the post attributes almost entirely to 'Amazon's weak earnings results.' It says that in April, when the 'Liberation Day' tariffs were first announced, such a move would have sent the S&P 500 lower by 3% or more. The post says 'the trade war has lost all credibility' in the market, and that it has lost the 'shock effect' that it had a couple of months ago. Why It Matters: This could be seen as a fallout of the 'TACO Trade' meme, or 'Trump Always Chickens Out,' where investors buy equities right after Trump makes a tariff threat, knowing fully well that he will eventually back out. Economist Peter Schiff recently called this 'a classic paradox,' since markets not reacting to Trump's tariffs, because they expect him to 'chicken out,' will eventually lead him to follow through on his threats. 'Investors assume Trump will cancel the August 1 tariffs before they kick in, so stocks aren't selling off,' he says, but since there isn't a dramatic market response to this, 'Trump won't chicken out again.'

Negative Points Injection Molding revenue declined by 4% year over year, with noted weakness in the medical sector. 3D Printing revenue was down 1% year over year, reflecting continued weakness in prototyping. European revenue declined by 15% in constant currencies, indicating challenges in the region. Tariffs and changing trade policies created short-term margin pressures, impacting profitability. Gross margin was down 90 basis points year over year, driven by higher growth in network revenue and lower US network margins due to tariffs. Q & A Highlights Q: Can you elaborate on the strength you're seeing in CNC, particularly in terms of growth across the factory and network? A: Daniel Schumacher, CFO: We are experiencing similar growth in both the factory and the network, with a 30% CNC growth in the US driving the overall 20% growth for the company. Suresh Krishna, CEO: We've grown revenues with larger accounts due to our go-to-market reorganization, and our production teams have shown agility in responding to customer needs. Q: Is the CNC work leaning more towards production or prototyping? A: Daniel Schumacher, CFO: It is a combination of both production and prototyping. We don't provide a specific split, but both contribute to our revenue growth. Q: Can you provide more details on the Injection Molding business and the factors affecting its performance? A: Daniel Schumacher, CFO: The network is a small portion of our Injection Molding business, with most of it through the factory. We saw some larger production orders last year, particularly in automotive, which impacted year-over-year comparisons. Currently, we are seeing weakness in the medical sector, but we continue to innovate and add capabilities to drive future production growth. Q: What excites you about joining Proto Labs, and what are your initial observations? A: Suresh Krishna, CEO: I'm excited about the opportunity to reaccelerate growth. My focus is on listening to employees, customers, and partners to remove friction and identify future opportunities. I believe there is significant potential to enhance customer and employee experiences. Q: Can you explain the impact of tariffs on gross margins and how it was addressed? A: Daniel Schumacher, CFO: Tariffs impacted our US network margins, particularly on aluminum and steel. We adjusted pricing and fulfillment strategies, and by June, margins returned to normal. The impact was due to a backlog priced at different assumptions, but adjustments have since stabilized margins.

2 Stalwart Canadian Stocks to Buy During Tariff Uncertainty
Written by Puja Tayal at The Motley Fool Canada Large tariff or low tariff? That is the question. There have been months of negotiations, but rarely has there been an outcome that is welcoming to all. Such is the state of global trade. Protectionist measures by the world's largest consumer, the United States, have made it expensive for the world to access the American market. The tariff uncertainty has made investors and companies indecisive about the road ahead and, consequently, affected stock markets worldwide. Why the tariff uncertainty? Recently, U.S. president Donald Trump negotiated a 15% across-the-board tariff with Europe and Japan, a shift from the previously 30% and 25% tariffs suggested on August 1. The two countries also promised to invest in the United States. While these negotiations were considered a win by the two countries, Trump did not negotiate on steel and aluminum imports to the United States. The next in line is Canada. Europe and Japan are not as dependent on the United States as Canada. Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney stated that the country's geographical closeness and energy exports to the U.S. put it in a different situation. Canada has a free-trade agreement on certain goods and expects to retain that. Bombardier was a beneficiary of this agreement. Moreover, Canada has a lower tariff of 10% on oil exports. The negotiations will determine if the 20% tariff on other goods increases to 35% or is reduced. When such uncertainty exists, investors, consumers, and businesses stall their decisions. Low business and investing activity stagnates growth. At times, it creates panic among investors, who then opt for safer stocks that continue doing business or benefit from the situation. Two stalwart Canadian stocks to buy during tariff uncertainty Canadian energy stocks have the biggest exposure to exports to the United States. Whereas Canada imports several grocery items from the United States. As Canada's dependence on the U.S. exports is greater, it is only imposing counter-tariff policies on products for which it has alternatives. Loblaw's (TSX:L) second-quarter earnings reflected that. Loblaw Loblaw noted that Canadians are seeking value, quality, and service. Its food retail business saw growth in same-store traffic, basket size, and item count as the grocer focused on Hard Discount and Real Canadian Superstores banners. The grocer's pharmacy brand, Shoppers Drug Mart, saw strong growth in specialty drug and prestige beauty categories. Loblaw is expanding rapidly. It is on track to open approximately 80 new stores and 100 new pharmacy clinics this year to increase its reach to more communities across Canada. More stores will lead to more revenue. Loblaw's cyclical rally can be attributed to a shift in consumer buying trends towards discounted products. In a tough economy, Loblaw outperforms but underperforms in a growing economy as buying shifts to discretionary. Loblaw stock surged 30% between February 21 and May 30, during the first round of Trump tariffs. That was the time when the entire Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) fell. If the tariff negotiations move in Canada's favour, Loblaw stock could remain stagnant. But if the negotiations go sideways and a higher tariff is implemented, Loblaw stock could rally as consumers may stock up on goods before the new high-tariff goods hit the shelf. Loblaw is also splitting its shares 4-for-1, effective August 18, to make them accessible to retail investors. It means you won't have to shell out over $220 to buy one share. They will be available for under $60, depending on what the share price is in August. Descartes Systems While Loblaw gives you a contrarian approach, Descartes Systems (TSX:DSG) gives you a buy-the-dip approach. At present, the stock is down 16% from its February peak when tariff uncertainty began. The supply chain solutions provider is affected by a slowdown in trade activity as companies adopt a wait-and-watch approach. A favourable negotiation could pump up trading activity as companies prepare for the holiday season. The August 1st tariff deadline has stalled Descartes's seasonal rally. Now is the time to buy the stock as the seasonal rally could increase the stock price by more than 30%. The company is well prepared to take on higher trade volumes. In conclusion Every scenario presents an opportunity. Following the money trail will tell you where to look. As long as money is not locked in vaults and is exchanging hands, there will be growth somewhere.
