#TrumpTariffs
In July 2025, former President Trump announced new tariffs of 25% on imports from Japan and South Korea, and between 25% and 70% on countries aligned with BRICS, effective from August 1. The measure caused the S&P 500, Nasdaq, and Dow indices to drop by about 0.8–0.9% and strengthened the dollar and Treasury yields. In the crypto market, Bitcoin fell by about 0.7%, following the behavior of technology stocks. Analysts believe that the reaction is short-term, with a chance of recovery, but warn of increased volatility as the deadline of August 1 approaches.
