The index closed at 5,948.71 on Thursday. </p><p class="mb-4 md:mb-6 leading-8 -tracking-5%" data-story-element="paragraph" data-testid="paragraph-component">Still, an all-out trade war with China and other partners could hit US growth and stoke inflation. A scenario in which countries retaliate against far-reaching US tariffs could send the S&P 500 to as low 5,100 – though global stocks would also decline, UBS said. Certain corners of the market could be particularly vulnerable to Trump’s policies: worries over plans for cutting bureaucratic excess bruised shares of government contractors last week, for example, while drugmakers fell when Trump picked vaccine skeptic Robert F Kennedy Jr to lead the Department of Health and Human Services.</p><p class="mb-4 md:mb-6 leading-8 -tracking-5%" data-story-element="paragraph" data-testid="paragraph-component">Broad tax cuts could also spark concerns about adding to US debt. Deficit worries have helped drive a recent selloff in US government bonds, taking the 10-year Treasury yield to a five-month high last week.</p><p class="mb-4 md:mb-6 leading-8 -tracking-5%" data-story-element="paragraph" data-testid="paragraph-component">At the same time, the valuation gap between the US and the rest of the world could become so wide that US stocks start looking expensive, or international equities become too cheap to ignore. For now, however, the long-term trend is in favour of the US, with the S&P 500 gaining more than 180 per cent against a rise of nearly 50 per cent for Europe’s STOXX over the past decade. “Momentum is a great thing,” said Colin Graham, head of multi-asset strategies at Robeco. “If you’ve got something that keeps outperforming, then investors will follow the money.” REUTERS</p></div><div class="mb-6
