The Impact of Trade Policies on Global Markets
Trade policies shape the global market in big ways. They can make goods cheaper or costlier. New tariffs can hurt trade between countries. When tariffs go up, the cost of imports can rise. This might lead to inflation or slower growth. Trade deals can do the opposite. They can make trade easier and goods cheaper. Countries may then see more growth. But these policies can also lead to job losses in some sectors. Overall, trade policies can both help and hurt economies. To keep up, countries and businesses must adapt fast.
