We recently published a list of 10 Stocks Insiders Sold in April After Trump’s Tariff Rollout. In this article, we are going to take a look at where nCino, Inc. (NASDAQ:NCNO) stands against other stocks that insiders sold in April after Trump’s tariff rollout.
Last week, President Donald Trump signed an executive order imposing a minimum 10% tariff on all U.S. imports, with certain exceptions. A 104% tariff on Chinese imports took effect, and Beijing said Wednesday it would raise levies on U.S. imports to 84% from 34%.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told bankers that the economy is “in pretty good shape” while somewhat earlier JPMorgan chief Jamie Dimon expressed a more pessimistic view, warning that a recession could be on the horizon, according to the Wall Street Journal.
The Bank of England warned that US tariff announcements contribute to a “material increase in risks to global growth” and inflation levels, reports The Guardian.
Then, in an unexpected turn of events, the President announced Wednesday a complete three-month pause on all the “reciprocal” tariffs that went into effect with the exception of China.
Some insiders used this time in April to buy the dip while others thought it was time to sell some of their holdings. At times like these, it is worth analyzing insider trading activity. When executives buy stock, it can suggest confidence in the company’s future. On the other hand, insider sales don’t have to be a negative sign for the company, because they can reflect personal decisions or investment diversification. This means that insider trading should be considered alongside the company’s financial health and broader market conditions.
