#TrumpTariffs 📉: Economic Shield or Shockwave?
President Trump just announced new sweeping tariffs — a 10% baseline on imports from all countries, with tougher penalties for those taxing U.S. exports. While aimed at protecting American industry, these moves are already sending shockwaves across global markets. 🌐
🔍 Here’s what investors need to know:
▪️ A U.S. federal court has already challenged the legality of these tariffs — adding a layer of uncertainty.
▪️ Major retailers like Walmart and Macy’s are raising prices, with consumers expected to feel the pinch.
▪️ Global stock markets dropped sharply in early April — one of the largest declines since the 2020 crash.
💸 Crypto Impact:
▪️ Bitcoin ($BTC ) and Ethereum ($ETH ) both dipped following the news — but are now bouncing back.
▪️ Analysts believe trade wars may undermine confidence in fiat currencies, especially the USD — potentially accelerating interest in crypto as a hedge and alternative store of value.
▪️ Volatility = Opportunity: Short-term dips could be long-term accumulation zones.
🧠 What to Watch:
• Will these policies strengthen U.S. sovereignty, or ignite global volatility?
• Can crypto truly benefit as investors seek non-sovereign assets in times of trade friction?
