Trump's "Tariff Nuclear Bomb": The Butterfly Effect on Global Capital Markets
What truly ignited the fuse was Trump's tweet that shook the world. The former president used "50% tariffs" and "Made in America" as heavy explosives, precisely striking at the nerve center of the capital markets:
Dollar Hegemony Defense When Trump demanded that Apple pay a 25% tariff, the market sensed the signal of accelerated dollar repatriation. JPMorgan's model shows that every 1% tariff threat will trigger a 2.3% fluctuation in the crypto market. US-EU Trade War 2.0 The EU accounts for 17% of US crypto trading volume, and the 50% tariff threat directly cuts off the fiat currency deposit channel. Coinbase data shows that the EUR/BTC trading pair plummeted by 9.7% in 24 hours. Technology stocks faced a chain reaction as Apple's stock price fell by 3.2%, leading to a collapse of tech stocks that dragged down the Nasdaq, forming a "death spiral" of simultaneous stock and crypto crashes.
