Why did market not move as big as it did when tariffs were imposed ?

Generally, if something is anticipated, market prices it before the news comes out.

This was a surprise news. (or wasn't it ? why ?)

But market is almost literally flat. Quite an opposite reaction to what happened when tariffs were declared/imposed.

Why is that ? What's your theory ?
