📊 Markets Bounce—But Tariff Anxiety Lingers 💢

As of June 12, 2025, U.S. equities, Bitcoin & gold are all surging toward record highs—an intriguingly rare simultaneous rally fueled by a significantly weaker dollar (‑9.1% YTD) and eased trade tension expectations following Trump’s announcements .

🌐 That said, President Trump today threatened unilateral tariffs affecting over 150 trading partners—warning of letters outlining take-it-or-leave-it terms by July 9 . Key details include:

Steel & aluminum tariffs expanded, with 25% steel levies triggering market jitters .

U.S.–China “done deal” caveated with looming 55% tariffs during next phase, spurring cautious investor sentiment .

🤖 Crypto snapshot: Bitcoin has rebounded from a dip, currently trading just ~4.4% below its May highs, showing signs of resilience amid tariff chatter . The volatility index (VIX) spiked over 5% earlier, but equities stole back gains by closing flat-to-up late after tariff remarks .

🎯 Takeaway for traders:

• $BTC remains a strong hedge in an uncertain macro environment.

• Consider short-term plays around volatility, especially in stocks tied to trade-sensitive sectors (steel, autos, consumer goods).

• Watch for federal letters due by July 9—they could trigger another round of volatility.
