🌐 🚨 The shock from Trump has shattered the silence of the Fed

Initially:

• The Fed announced a strong GDP growth of +3% in Q2

• Maintained interest rates and Powell's cautious stance on inflation from developing tariffs

Before stability could be established, Trump spoke up – and turned everything into global trade chaos:

• 🇧🇷 50% import tax from Brazil

• 🇮🇳 25% additional penalties for trading with Russia

• 🇰🇷 A $350 billion deal with a 15% import tax from South Korea

• 🇨🇦 Canada faces an increase to 35%

• 🇹🇼 Taiwan at 20%, 🇨🇭 Switzerland up to 39%

🧨 Immediate impact on global financial markets

• Asian stocks sharply decline: the MSCI Asia-Pacific index down 0.7%; South Korea loses more than 3%

• The risk of escalating trade wars forces businesses and investments to halt or delay plans

• Gradual inflation rise from tariff pressures, causing the Fed to maintain its stance but warn caution in monetary policy management

❓ The question arises:

👉 Will August 1 be the decisive blow for the chain of global volatility?

Is this just the beginning of a fierce series in trade and exchange rate policies?#btc #ETH
