#TariffsPause Let's go. In early April, Trump dropped a bomb: 10% tariffs for everyone, with additional charges of up to 50% for 57 countries. The result? The market melted down. The S&P 500 fell more than 10% in two days, and panic spread. Then, out of nowhere, on the 9th, he announced a 90-day pause on these tariffs — except for China, which saw an increase to 145%. The market breathed a sigh of relief, but the confusion only grew. Trump stated that the pause had nothing to do with the chaos in the market, but his advisers told a different story. Meanwhile, China denied that it was negotiating anything. In other words, no one knows what's happening, but everyone is trying to adapt.   

In the midst of this back and forth, the crypto market also felt the effects. Bitcoin, for example, surpassed US$ 90.000 for the first time since early March, reflecting the increased appetite for risk assets. But with so much uncertainty, it's hard to predict the next steps. What can be said is that, for now, the pause on tariffs brought temporary relief. But with Trump already threatening to reimpose tariffs in a few weeks, the atmosphere of instability continues. For investors, this moment is one of caution and heightened attention.
