Market Reaction to Tariffs

On Friday evening, President Trump announced a significant escalation of tariffs on China, raising them to 130% effective November 1st. This action was a direct response to China's tightening of its exports of rare earth elements. President Trump's statement, "I'm done," signaled a decisive move in the trade dispute.

The immediate aftermath of this announcement saw severe market reactions:

• Equity Futures Crash: Stock market futures experienced a sharp decline, indicating widespread investor panic and a negative outlook for the upcoming trading week.
• Scramble for Dollars: There was a notable increase in demand for the US dollar, suggesting a flight to safety as investors sought to de-risk their portfolios.
• Cryptocurrency Crash: The cryptocurrency market experienced a significant downturn. Specifically, 1.6 million crypto accounts were completely wiped out, resulting in the erasure of $19.2 billion in value within minutes.

Outlook for the Coming Week

The transcript anticipates a worsening market situation as trading weeks commence:

• Monday: Markets are expected to reopen with continued negative sentiment, likely exacerbating the initial sell-off.
• Tuesday: With the reopening of banks, the acceleration of market declines is predicted, as financial institutions and their clients react to the unfolding crisis.
