President Donald Trump appears to be walking back some of his more extreme positioning on the economy — pivoting yet again on his signature tariff agenda and renewing concerns that his haphazard approach has already done serious economic damage.

On Tuesday, Trump softened on two key issues that had been giving Wall Street nightmares: He signaled openness to easing tariffs on China, and said he has “no intention” of firing Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell.

But the abrupt shift in tone was yet another reminder of the turbulence emanating from the White House that could push the US, and potentially other economies, into a recession.

More damaging than the tariffs themselves is the uncertainty the White House has created, said Wendy Edelberg, senior fellow in Economic Studies at the Brookings Institution, in an interview with CNN. “And the lurching hasn’t ended. In fact, this is simply another lurch.”

After an abysmal few weeks, US stocks surged Tuesday and Wednesday — a sign of Wall Street’s relief that the president appears to be heeding warnings from CEOs and close advisers who say his 145% tariffs on China aren’t sustainable. In an Oval Office gaggle with reporters Tuesday, Trump also refrained from attacking Powell. (It was a rare moment of restraint with regard to Powell, whom Trump has recently called a “major loser.” By Wednesday evening, Trump had resumed a more threatening tone, saying he “might call him.”)

Despite the recent rebound, more than $7 trillion in value has been erased from the S&P 500 since record highs were set just two months ago, according to FactSet data.

At this point, any sign that Trump is pulling back on tariffs or respecting decades of precedent protecting the Fed’s independence will land, at least temporarily, as a win for Wall Street.

“Markets are terrified about the dumb things he’s going to do, and when he doesn’t do them, they’re thrilled,” Justin Wolfers, professor of economics and public policy at the University of Michigan, told CNN.

But Wolfers and other economists expressed concern about the damage that’s already been done.

“It’s clear the economy will slow,” he said. “The question is how much.”

Forecasters broadly say there is an elevated risk of a recession this year — perhaps as high as a 50% to 70% chance. Virtually all note those odds are in flux because of Trump’s ever-shifting tariff agenda.
