Donald Trump has made a decision to have national security adviser H.R. McMaster fired. It appears to be the latest in a marathon of White House fires as well as resignations. The previous week ex-economic adviser Gary Cohn resigned having openly criticized Trump’s duties on aluminum and steel, while Secretary of State Rex Tillerson was sacked a bit earlier this week.
Fears of over a potential trade conflict also kept weighing on market participants. An import duty on steel and aluminum imposed by Trump has left investors on edge. Nevertheless, Canada and Mexico are enjoying a sudden exemption because the current administration would like to negotiate a trade agreement. Apparently, more duties could spur worries of a global trade feud and also put pressure on investor appetite for risky assets.
