#TariffsPause

The U.S. announced a 90-day pause on most tariffs, excluding China (rates raised to 125%)[2][7], sparking market optimism:

- **Crypto surge**: Bitcoin surpassed $83k as investors sought alternative assets[1][2].

- **Stock rally**: U.S. indices rebounded sharply, adding $5.5T in market value[2][5].

- **Geopolitical uncertainty**: Analysts warn this is a tactical pause, not a long-term resolution[1][3].

China lifted select tariffs on U.S. goods but faced domestic censorship of related hashtags[3][6]. Markets remain volatile as trade negotiations continue[4][7].
