[Start lining up your profits here]( [I'm an image] The December 15 tariff deadline is a week from today. And until then, it seems like the market is a time bomb, counting down the days as traders wait in suspense to see what happens. Will the Trump and Xi Jinping reach a compromise? Or will we see a new set of tariffs on Chinese goods? We know from past trading that the markets love positive negotiations and hate international disagreement. This past May, investors anticipated an end to the trade-war anxiety — but those expectations were kicked out the door when Trump released a bevy of tweets... [Image] Following the announcement of increased tariffs, the Dow futures quickly took a big hit, falling more than 500 points. And while the effect on the markets was milder upon the open, there was a clear downward swing. The Dow went down 0.9%, the S&P sold off by 1%, and the Nasdaq lost 1.1%. Based on the performance of individual stocks and sectors during this previous sell-off, here’s which ones you should look out for ahead of the tariff deadline this week: - The Industrial Sector. Keep an eye on the Industrial Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLI), which went down 1.1%. Within this sector, pay attention to these individual stocks: Farm equipment maker, Deere (DE), which slid 4.1%, and auto parts supplier, BorgWarner (BWA), which dropped 2.1%. - Furniture companies. Among these companies that could be ripe for a beating, Hooker Furniture (HOFT) stands out, as it fell 2.4%. - Tech companies. The week following the May tariff announcements, Apple (AAPL) tanked from 208.48 to 175.07, a more than 16% decrease. It currently sits at all time highs at around $270 per share. The takeaway: - Consider the idea of going short on stocks related to industrials, furniture, tech, or anything Chinese goods related, at the first sign of negative negotiations. - Consider playing stocks that move independently of the sentiment-induced fluctuations in the market. - Be patient and don’t force trades.
