đš GLOBAL MACRO UPDATE: U.S. TARIFF HIKE TO 15%
U.S. President Donald Trump has announced an immediate increase in global tariffs from 10% â 15%, with signals that further measures could follow in the coming months.
đ Market Impact: âą Higher tariffs = Rising cost of global trade
âą Added pressure on supply chains & import-heavy economies
âą Inflation expectations may tick higher
âą Geopolitical and trade tensions likely to rise
đ Historically, protectionist policies tend to: âą Slow global economic growth
âą Increase overall market uncertainty
âą Trigger volatility across equities and FX
đ What about Crypto?
Macro friction often strengthens the store-of-value narrative for assets like $BTC , especially when:
âą Fiat purchasing power weakens
âą Cross-border trade faces restrictions
âą Capital looks for neutral, non-sovereign hedges
đ Notably, crypto volatility remains relatively muted despite major macro headlines â potentially signaling structural decoupling building over time.
Stay sharp. Macro is back in play.
