#DayTradingStrategy Days of Tariff Freeze... How Does Trump Manage His Trade Battles?

As the deadline for the tariff freeze set by U.S. President Donald Trump approaches on July 9, 2025, the global economy is in a state of cautious anticipation. While Trump continues to threaten the reactivation of comprehensive tariffs on imports worth over $1.8 trillion, world capitals, from Beijing to Brussels, are racing to strike quick trade deals with Washington in an attempt to avoid entering a new trade war that could exceed the impacts of what occurred in 2018.

The markets had experienced severe disruptions following Trump’s announcement of a 10% base tariff along with additional increases on most countries, some reaching 50%, before calming down somewhat after the White House announced on April 9 that the implementation of the tariffs would be frozen for 90 days to allow more time for negotiations to reach agreements, which observers considered an attempt to absorb the shock without offering political concessions. According to Bloomberg, the S&P 500 index rose by 7.2% over two months after the decision was frozen, while investor confidence began to improve.
