Tariff wars leave us at a loss, Saylor: Bitcoin has no tariffs, Strategy leads the Bitcoin reserve strategy company to enter and buy BTC.
The three major indexes of U.S. stocks edged up on Monday as the U.S. temporarily excluded smartphones, computers and other electronics from reciprocal tariffs, and President Donald Trump hinted at a possible exemption from the 25% tariff on auto parts, sparking a rally in auto stocks. Bitcoin has recently consolidated in a large range, Strategy ( formerly known as Micro Strategy, Microstrategy) and various Bitcoin reserve strategy companies have entered the market to buy Bitcoin.
Tariffs change constantly, leaving investors at a loss.
Investors are still struggling to gauge the spillover effects of the trade war on the economy, as there are fluctuations in negotiations. While U.S. officials insist that the tariff strategy is carefully crafted, critics argue that this trade order hinges on the whims of a deal-making president.
The White House announced on Monday that it will conduct trade investigations into the semiconductor and pharmaceutical industries, which is seen as a potential precursor to an expansion of the overall U.S. trade war. Although the investigation may take months to complete, it currently appears that progress may be quicker than investors expect.
Wall Street investment banks have expressed the difficulty in predicting the direction of the stock market under these circumstances. Barclays Bank stated that the recent volatility has led to a lack of confidence in the current pricing, while JPMorgan analysts indicated that forecasting in the current environment is a challenge, and multiple outcomes may occur.
Jay Woods of Freedom Capital Markets stated: One thing the government is doing well right now is keeping market participants on their toes!
Federal Reserve Board Member Waller: Rate cuts are very likely to be considered in the second half of the year.
In a speech yesterday, Federal Reserve Board member Christopher Waller elaborated on two scenarios in which Trump's trade policies could affect the American economy, but stated that the inflation impact of both scenarios may be temporary.
In a speech prepared for an event in St. Louis on Monday, Waller stated that this new tariff policy is "one of the biggest shocks to the U.S. economy in decades." He said that if tariffs have a slight impact on inflation, then interest rate cuts will "very likely" be considered in the second half of 2025.
