Markets will ultimately not get the hoped-for respite. As the temporary tariffs implemented 150 days ago expired, Donald Trump chose to revive the trade war by announcing, this Friday, a new wave of taxes targeting about sixty economies. Presented as a response to forced labor in certain supply chains, this offensive goes far beyond trade. It reignites tensions between the United States, China and the European Union, while fueling a new phase of volatility in financial markets and alternative assets.
Markets only needed a few hours to waver. A surge in oil prices, triggered by escalating tensions in the Middle East, revived risk aversion and led to a sell-off in the most exposed assets.

Can cryptos still escape macroeconomic turmoil?

Three Democratic senators won't back the crypto bill without ethics safeguards against Trump's $1.4 billion windfall. They're calling him out.
Trump posted Monday on Truth Social a call to the Senate to vote for the CLARITY Act "in tribute" to Lindsey Graham, a senator who died Saturday at the age of 71.
