đșđžđ€đšđ Trumpâs Tariff Strategy & the Swiss Trade Deal: What It Means for Global Markets đđŒ
Donald Trumpâs latest tariff push hit Swiss exports hard â with tariffs reaching up to 39% on key goods like đ°ïž luxury watches, âïž machinery, and đ pharmaceuticals. The impact was immediate: Swiss watch exports to the U.S. plunged over 55% in September 2025.
But thereâs hope on the horizon đ€ïž â a new Swiss-U.S. trade deal could slash tariffs down to around 15%, easing pressure on exporters and stabilizing cross-border trade.
For global exporters, this move shows how Trumpâs tariff-first approach forces bilateral negotiations instead of global trade frameworks đ. Itâs a signal that nations dependent on the U.S. market may need to strike their own deals or diversify exports to stay competitive.
For U.S. investors đ”, this could open new opportunities â especially in Swiss giants like Swatch, ABB, and Novartis, which might rebound as tariff tensions cool. Still, the uncertainty remains â todayâs relief deal could be tomorrowâs trade shock â ïž.
