#TrumpTariffs : Volatile Trade Policy Keeps Markets on Edge

President Trump’s aggressive tariff strategy in 2025 has triggered sharp swings across global markets. Early spring saw tariffs climb to as high as 145% on Chinese goods, provoking a steep 10% drop in the S&P 500 . Though a temporary truce eased duties to 30% on Chinese imports, uncertainty remains strong. China has partially resumed rare-earth exports, and the U.S. extended a 90-day tariff pause, depending on progress in trade talks .

A federal appeals court recently ruled the tariffs remain enforceable during ongoing legal challenges, maintaining supply chain unease . The World Bank has warned these measures are slowing growth worldwide, predicting 2025 GDP could drop to its lowest in decades . With macro risks high, investors are watching key indicators and upcoming negotiations closely.
