๐จ BREAKING: Trump Pauses Tariffs for 90 Days (Except China) ๐จ
๐ง Here's what's happening:
๐น President Trump announced a 90-day pause on new tariffs for over 75 countries who chose to negotiate rather than retaliate.
๐น These countries will keep the 10% tariff rate during this pause.
๐น Meanwhile, China got hit hard โ tariffs on Chinese imports were raised to 125% due to their retaliatory stance and lack of cooperation.
๐ Market Response:
๐ธ The S&P 500 surged over 7%, showing strong investor confidence.
๐ธ However, bond markets remain shaky, and talk of a possible recession is still in the air.
๐ฌ Business Leaders React:
๐ธ Bill Ackman: Called the move โbrilliantly executed.โ
๐ธ Mark Cuban: Criticized it, saying it caused companies to overstock and cut investments.
๐ China's Countermove:
๐บ China slapped an 84% tariff on U.S. goods in response.
๐บ The WTO warns the ongoing trade conflict could cost up to 7% of global GDP.
๐ What to Watch:
๐ This 90-day pause is likely a setup for new trade negotiations.
๐ But the U.S.-China tension is rising fast โ and it could impact everything from global trade to your portfolio.
๐ฃ What do you think?
Is this a smart strategic move, or is it pouring fuel on the fire?
