📉🌍 #TrumpTariffs Watch: The Deadline is Here – Who’s In, Who’s Out?
🚨 Tick-tock… the tariff clock hits zero this Friday. Trump’s 120-day “pause” on his notorious reciprocal tariff plan ends August 1st, and only 8 deals have been inked so far. Yeah, that’s it.
📝 Here’s the quick breakdown:
🔒 Countries with deals (safe… for now):
European Union 🇪🇺 (all 27)
Japan 🇯🇵
South Korea 🇰🇷
Brazil 🇧🇷
Mexico 🇲🇽
U.K. 🇬🇧
Vietnam 🇻🇳
Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦
🌪️ Left hanging (and exposed):
India 🇮🇳 – massive economy, no deal yet
Canada 🇨🇦 – yes, Canada!
Australia 🇦🇺 – another surprise
South Africa 🇿🇦
Indonesia 🇮🇩
And many more…
📊 Why it matters (especially for markets):
Tariffs = tension. This could shake up global trade, supply chains, and potentially rattle equity, commodity, and even crypto markets. Risk-on mood? Not really.
🧠 Quick thought for traders & investors:
Watch sectors tied to trade-heavy nations (think industrials, autos, semis).
Commodities like copper & oil could get volatile.
Emerging markets with no deal? Possible pullback.
Safe havens like gold, USD — and maybe BTC? — could get a bid.
💬 What’s next?
If no surprise deals drop before Friday, expect retaliation, more uncertainty, and yes — some serious volatility.
🟨 Your move, markets.
