Our Urgent Market Update Video reviews important real-time market developments and their impact on high-probability trading opportunities. Today, we discuss in detail, post-Liberation Day, whether these Trump tariffs are severe and what it ultimately means for the financial markets. Trump last night had two options. He could deliver severe broad-based high tariffs or he could have chosen a more watered-down tariff package. Unfortunately, for all concerned, he chose the former. It means we have some clarity for now, which the markets have been looking for. So instead of discussing whether this is good or bad, we wanted to discuss a situation where the US administration have chosen this type of tariff policy before, however, it didn’t work out so well. It actually contributed to the Great Depression in the US during the 1930s.
In this video, we look into the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1930 in more detail, showing how this equally broad-based tariff policy actually impacted the financial markets. We are not saying the reaction this time around will be in any way similar but we are saying to expect, if everything stays the same, that we are very likely to see further downside in the US Indices, MAG 7 and further weakness in USD.
These trades have moved already since Trump’s announcement and we expect further moves over the coming days. As always, protect your capital first and let the winners take care of themselves.
