Wall Street is reeling as U.S. Treasuries trade with risk-asset volatility amid a sweeping new tariff policy from Donald Trump. A historic 125% tariff on Chinese goods stokes recession fears, sending stocks and oil tumbling while gold surges. Unusual Treasury yield spikes suggest a flight from traditional safe havens, leaving investors scrambling. As geopolitical shocks rewrite market rules, the line between safety and speculation continues to blur—demanding a new playbook for navigating economic uncertainty.
Trump’s sweeping tariff escalation, invoking the IEEPA, is jolting global markets and reshaping trade fundamentals. With U.S. tariffs surging to an average 23%, companies are scrambling to reboot supply chains, while international partners prepare retaliatory measures. The ripple effects threaten to contract U.S. GDP, slow consumer spending, and spark a prolonged trade war. As uncertainty roils financial markets, investors and policymakers are bracing for long-term shifts in globalization and heightened economic volatility throughout 2025.
