Trump Closes Door on Extending Tariff Pause – What It Means
President Trump just made it clear he won’t extend the 90-day tariff pause beyond its current term, putting an end to speculation about further relief. This decision signals a return to hardball trade tactics, essentially telling negotiating partners like China: *"Time’s up—make a deal or face the consequences."*
For markets, this means bracing for potential turbulence. If talks stall, the return of tariffs could squeeze corporate profits, reignite inflation worries, and even rattle crypto. Bitcoin might see a short-term boost as a hedge, while China-linked tokens (like CFX or FIL) could feel the heat if trade tensions escalate. Meanwhile, mining operators may face higher costs for imported hardware.
The bigger picture? Trump’s playing for leverage, betting that a tough stance will pressure rivals while appealing to his base. Traders should watch trade talks closely in the coming weeks—any breakdown could mean volatility across stocks, commodities, and crypto. For now, the message is simple: the tariff reprieve is ending, and the market’s free ride on trade peace might be too.
