Farmers once watched the sky for storm fronts, and today, investors track the president's unpredictable tariff tweets. In early April, President Donald Trump slapped a blanket 10% levy on all imports, with even steeper surcharges for a handful of unlucky trading partners. Gold promptly ripped to record prices as investors flocked to safe assets.
The crypto market's response has been a bit harder to read. Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) shed 2.5% the morning Trump floated a 50% E.U. tariff. Meanwhile, XRP (CRYPTO: XRP) currently hugs $2.20 after a quiet month.
