Insurers see trade disputes as growing risk, Goldman Sachs survey finds

Since returning to office in January, President Donald Trump has introduced and modified tariffs on major trade partners, including China, Canada, and Mexico. A Wall Street Journal report on March 23 suggested the administration planned to narrow the scope of new tariffs set to take effect in April, opting for a more targeted approach. The uncertainty surrounding trade policy has contributed to market volatility, adding to insurers’ concerns over portfolio stability.
