I believe that any statements about 'increased tariffs having other (positive) effects' are fundamentally fraudulent, aside from making prices higher.

ChainCatcher news reports that, according to 4E monitoring, the threat of an escalation in the China-U.S. tariff war has overshadowed the positive effects of slowing inflation.

On Thursday, the three major indices at one point dropped by at least 5%, although the decline narrowed towards the end of trading. By the close, the S&P 500 index fell by 3.5%, having at one point dropped by 6.3%, nearing the 7% first-level circuit breaker, marking the largest intraday drop since March 2020; the Nasdaq fell by 4.31%, and the Dow Jones by 2.5%. Major tech stocks collectively declined, with the seven giants index dropping by 6.67%.In the cryptocurrency market, the strong rebound from the previous day reversed sharply last night alongside the U.S. stock market.

ChainCatcher news, BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes stated: "The era of U.S. Treasury bonds (and to a lesser extent, U.S. stocks) as global reserve assets is coming to an end. Since Nixon decoupled the dollar from gold in 1971, the total amount of U.S. Treasury bonds has increased by 85 times. The U.S. has had to create credit currency that matches global economic growth. This is a boon for some Americans and a bane for others. Trump's election was driven by those who felt they had not shared in the 'fruits of prosperity' over the past 50 years.Once the U.S. current account deficit is eliminated, foreigners will not have dollars to purchase U.S. bonds and stocks. If countries begin to shift towards 'national priority' policies to boost their own economies, they will sell off their holdings of U.S. Treasuries and stocks to gain liquidity in their own currencies. Even if Trump later softened his stance on tariffs, no Treasury Secretary or head of state would dare to bet that he wouldn't flip-flop again. Therefore, the world cannot return to the way it was before. Every country must fight for itself.Gold will return as a neutral reserve asset. The dollar will still be the global reserve currency, but countries will settle global trade by holding gold. Trump has hinted at this, as gold is tariff-free! In the new monetary system, gold must circulate freely and at low cost.Today, those who have benefited immensely from the old system are mostly still in denial, immersed in a fantasy: that everything will eventually return to 'normal.' Absurd to the extreme.Those who wish to adapt to a return to the global trade order before 1971 should buy gold, gold mining companies, and Bitcoin (BTC)."

ChainCatcher news, Bitget Research Institute's chief analyst Ryan Lee pointed out that as U.S. President Trump proposed a new tariff plan, Bitcoin's safe-haven properties are gaining more attention. His proposal of "a unified 20% tariff" has triggered market concerns about fiat currencies, especially the U.S. dollar, particularly against the backdrop of rising inflation expectations.Jim Reid from Deutsche Bank and Chris Weston from Pepperstone both warned that if this policy is implemented, the global economy may face the risk of "stagflation," where costs rise while economic growth is constrained.From an economic fundamentals perspective, if this round of tariffs is implemented, it may push up manufacturing costs and exacerbate inflation. This event may prolong market uncertainty. In this environment, the demand for Bitcoin as an anti-inflation and safe-haven asset is expected to rise significantly.
