Trump Announces New Comprehensive Tariffs on Imported Goods

On April 3rd, former U.S. President Donald Trump announced a 10% tariff on all imported goods as part of his trade policy.

The tariffs, aimed at reducing foreign reliance, have reverberated through financial and crypto markets, causing notable unrest and price fluctuations.

Trump's Tariffs Cause $505 Billion Market Downturn

The tariff initiative by Trump, described as a step towards reviving domestic production, promises economic transformation. In partnership with Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, Trump seeks to leverage these measures for better trade negotiations. Immediate implications include a significant impact on financial markets. The U.S. stock market faced a downturn, losing $505 billion in market capitalization. Furthermore, the crypto markets exhibit volatility, with Bitcoin experiencing a drop. Key reactions came from market analysts, with many expressing concerns about potential inflation. Howard Lutnick supported the tariffs as beneficial for national economic sovereignty, emphasizing their role in recalibrating global trade relations. As Donald Trump put it, this is "Liberation Day; it will revitalize the U.S. economy by reducing reliance on foreign imports."

Amid the market changes, Bitcoin, trading at $85,999, sustains significant market caps. According to CoinMarketCap, it holds a $1.71 trillion market cap with a 60.81% dominance. Despite a recent 1.22% price uptick, the 90-day data reflects an 11.92% decline.
