TLDR: Trump's Tariff announcement is likely impacting stocks and crypto.
Market Impact: Assets—including crypto—may be reacting to fears of a broader trade war. Crypto often tracks risk assets like tech stocks, and uncertainty around tariffs can spook investors, leading to sell-offs. The U.S. dollar tends to strengthen in short term.
Why Now?: Trump ties these moves to a “national emergency” on drugs and borders, using the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA)—a rare legal flex for tariffs. Critics say it’s more about politics and leverage than immediate fixes.
China: 10% tariff will be added to the existing 10% universal tariff on Chinese imports . This brings the total to 20% on all Chinese goods, on top of earlier tariffs from Trump’s first term

Why China? Trump points to its role in supplying fentanyl precursors and broader trade imbalances.
These tariffs were initially set for February 4 but delayed after negotiations with Mexican and Canadian leaders. Trump now says progress is “insufficient,” locking in March 4 as the start date.
Mexico & Canada: A 25% tariff on most goods.
Trump’s stated goal? Pressure these nations to crack down on drugs and illegal border crossings.
