The turbulent week for the U.S. stock market continues, fueled by the Trump administration’s shifting decisions on the start date for new tariffs. On Thursday, President Donald Trump signed executive actions that delay tariffs on all products from Mexico and Canada that are covered by the USMCA free trade treaty for nearly one month.
“After speaking with President Claudia Sheinbaum of Mexico, I have agreed that Mexico will not be required to pay Tariffs on anything that falls under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA),” Trump wrote on Truth Social Thursday.
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said that “virtually all” of Mexico’s trade with the U.S. falls under the USMCA, writes CNN Business.
So what happened with some of the major U.S. indexes? Blue-chip companies declined by 428 points or 0.99%, the broader market index lost 1.78%, while the NASDAQ entered correction, down 10.4% from its record high on December 16.
Many analysts have recently revised their U.S. stock market predictions, suggesting that achieving strong earnings in 2025 may prove more difficult. Despite this, the broader market index is still expected to finish 2024 approximately 9% higher, although this is a decrease from the initial forecast of 12.2% made in January. Key drivers for this year include increased productivity from AI adoption and expectations of lower interest rates.
Amid market fluctuations and uncertainty, insider trading often garners considerable attention. Executives and insiders, with deep insights into their companies’ strategies and outlooks, may make trades worth examining. For example, when a CEO or CFO invests their own money in company stock, it can be a strong signal of confidence in the company’s future prospects.
On the other hand, selling shares may suggest a lack of confidence from management, though this is not always the case. In some situations, large shareholders might be rebalancing their portfolios to better match their risk/reward preferences or selling for personal financial reasons. Additionally, many insiders sell shares as part of pre-arranged, automated trading plans, known as 10b5-1 plans.
Both insider buying and selling can be influenced by a range of factors, so these actions should be viewed in the context of the company’s financial health, industry trends, and overall market conditions. This underscores the importance of conducting thorough research before making investment decisions. While insider trading activity can provide valuable insights into a company’s future, it should be considered alongside other key factors to make well-informed investment choices.
