This week marks the final week before Trump’s administration imposes a sweeping set of new tariffs on most imports, set to take effect on April 2. Branded by Trump as “Liberation Day,” the move aims to counter trade imbalances by pressuring foreign governments to lower their trade barriers or face higher U.S. duties.
- The tariffs will take effect unless other nations agree to equalize trade barriers or raise their own tariffs above U.S. levels.
- Each country will receive a tariff rate based on its trade policies, meaning some could face significantly higher duties than others.
- Ongoing negotiations may allow certain countries to avoid the steepest tariffs if they agree to favourable trade adjustments.
Dividend-paying companies provide steady income during economic uncertainty, offsetting market volatility. In fact, this week's latest dividend update includes several high-yield companies that are set to pay dividends to shareholders, with upcoming last trade dates.
These include:
- Innovative Industrial Properties Inc. (IIPR) and Annaly Capital Management Inc. (NLY), both with an annual dividend yield of 12%.
- AGNC Investment Corp. (AGNC), offering an annual dividend yield of 14%.
- Orion Office REIT Inc. (ONL), with an annual dividend yield of 17% .
The above-mentioned companies pay dividends quarterly, except for AGNC Investment Corp., which pays monthly.
Here's the full update for this week.
