Trump reduces import tariffs – How do financial and crypto markets react?”

In mid-May 2025, the administration of President Donald Trump announced significant reductions in import tariffs, especially with China. The tariff on Chinese goods dropped from 145% to 30%, while China also reduced tariffs on American goods from 125% to 10%. This move aimed to ease trade tensions and has generated a positive response in the financial markets. 

In particular, the cryptocurrency market has recorded substantial growth. The Nasdaq Composite Index rose by 4%, marking the beginning of a new bull market. Bitcoin and altcoins like ETH and SOL also saw increases of 5–12% within 24 hours, as investors expect capital to flow back into high-risk assets. 

However, experts warn that this agreement is only effective for 90 days, and legal issues related to Trump's tariffs are still under review in federal court. Therefore, investors should closely monitor subsequent developments to adjust their investment strategies accordingly.
