00:00All right, so here's what every investor needs to know right now. We're just days away from July 9th,

00:05the moment President Trump's 90-day pause on those reciprocal tariffs officially ends.

00:10Unless something major changes, double-digit tariffs on a long list of countries will kick in,

00:15and that could have a big impact on the stock markets again. If you're holding stocks or

00:20thinking about buying, this is the perfect time to get ahead of the news and form a plan to profit,

00:25even in the middle of all this volatility. So where do things stand at this exact moment?

00:30Well, only a few countries have managed to reach new trade deals with the US.

00:34The UK has a deal in place to lower some mutual trade barriers,

00:37and Trump recently announced a trade agreement with Vietnam too. There's also a deal with China,

00:43but that mostly just rolled back the new barriers each country escalated and increased

00:47after the Liberation Day tariffs back in April. There are 200-plus countries to negotiate with,

00:53most are still waiting to reach a deal, and honestly, trade negotiations usually take years,

00:58not weeks. Now here's how the next few days could play out. First, the US could just send letters

01:03to certain countries saying, this is the tariff you'll need to pay to keep doing business with us.

01:08Or, the White House could decide to extend the deadline, especially for countries that are

01:13actively negotiating. Treasury Secretary Scott Besant has previously said the US would consider

01:18postponing the deadline for countries negotiating in good faith while talks continue,

01:22so there's a chance for an extension. But even if some deals are struck, a universal 10% tariff,

01:29announced on April 2nd, will still hit most imports. And nobody really knows how high the

01:34final tariffs will be, or which products will get targeted. The uncertainty alone has been a huge

01:39drag on the economy. Companies are holding off on new investments, and the Federal Reserve has paused

01:44on cutting interest rates, waiting to see where all this lands. If deals aren't reached by July 9th,

01:50and those tariffs snap back into force, we could see another stock market drop. Just like the one

01:55in April when all this tariff talk first started. But if the US reaches agreements with its largest

02:00trading partners, the stock market could keep pushing higher, building on the gains of the past

02:05two months. So, what's my strategy? I stick with dollar cost averaging, buying a little bit on a

02:11regular schedule, no matter what the market's doing. And when there's real fear in the market,

02:16that's when I look for opportunities to pick up great stocks at bargain prices.

02:21This approach has helped my portfolio grow, even through crazy swings like we're seeing now.

02:26I'll keep sharing updates about the tariff situation and what it means for the stock market

02:30in the weeks ahead, so you can make smart, confident decisions with your investments.
