Both the cryptocurrency sector and equity markets have dismissed concerns linked to the upcoming tariffs that will be announced on Trump’s Liberation Day 2025. The US is poised to reveal new tariffs on Wednesday, a move anticipated to disrupt global trade, but investors appear to be taking it in stride, at least for now.
The core inquiry remains whether Trump will proceed with his initiative or retract.
Currently, the market has shown a 90% correlation to Trump’s first term in 2017 prior to these new tariffs. Here’s an update on the markets and the repercussions of the tariffs.
Tariffs Impact
Trump Liberation Day 2025 Tariffs: What’s The Deal With Trump’s Plan
“Liberation Day” embodies Trump’s dual-tariff strategy, possibly redirecting US trade policy significantly. One approach offers a universal tariff set at a potential 20% on all imports, irrespective of trading partners. The alternative involves reciprocating existing duties from nations that impose tariffs on American goods, deemed a fairer approach by Trump.
Trump appears less inclined to adopt an extremely aggressive stance, suggesting that other nations could easily negotiate tariffs downwards.

The market remains resilient against potential tariff-induced turmoil. Analysts remain divided, with some speculating that the possible fallout has already been factored into market valuations, while others suggest it reflects an optimistic outlook for long-term advantages.
Trump’s aides promote the tariff strategy as leverage against foreign duties, estimating it could generate as much as $600 billion annually.
However, these forecasts carry significant risks. Industries such as technology, automotive, and manufacturing may suffer immediate supply chain impacts, and retaliation from major trading partners like China and the EU remains a possibility.
Will Trump Walk Back Tariffs?
It’s anticipated that Trump will stick to his tariff plans. However, there are online hypotheses suggesting Trump could unexpectedly engage in “productive discussions,” potentially softening the grip of these tariffs.
Final Thought on Trump Liberation Day 2025
Against all odds, the financial markets have begun the week positively, counteracting general predictions of a downturn in anticipation of the upcoming Liberation Day. The effects of Trump’s tariffs could significantly alter the landscape of global trade in the near future, influencing markets worldwide.
