Warren Buffett’s Silence on Tariffs and Markets Draws Investor Attention Ahead of Berkshire Meeting

Investors are turning to Warren Buffett for insights on tariffs and economic turbulence as Berkshire Hathaway’s annual shareholder meeting approaches. The 94-year-old CEO has remained silent on President Trump’s tariff policies and recent market volatility, leaving attendees eager for answers at Saturday’s event in Omaha.

Over 30,000 attendees are expected at what’s become Wall Street’s premier gathering, marking Buffett’s 60th year at Berkshire’s helm. This year’s meeting carries added significance as only the second without Buffett’s longtime partner Charlie Munger, who passed last year.

The ’Woodstock for Capitalists’ comes amid nine consecutive quarters of significant market sell-offs, with investors hoping Buffett will address the economic uncertainty fueled by trade policies. His commentary—or continued silence—could move markets when 40,000 finance professionals descend on Nebraska this weekend.
