Several reasons, firstly someone on one side or the other of the tariffs will fold, and/or the Fed will make a move(lower interest rates), and investors will also realize that multiples are now much lower and the market is oversold. Part of the equation is company earnings as well, and whatever the headwind, companies tend to find a way to increase their earnings through good times and bad, using price pass increases to the consumer or by cutting costs, either way the bottom line comes out positive. Lastly, also consider the huge amount of cash sitting on the sideline, a few hints of good news and the market will "Melt-up" pretty quickly.
None of this is financial advice, just my thoughts and experiences in past downturns.
