ChainCatcher news, according to 4E monitoring, Trump announced last night the implementation of reciprocal tariffs, adopting a dual-track system that combines "benchmark tariffs" and "one country, one tax rate," with rates exceeding market expectations. The U.S. stock market was initially optimistic due to the 10% benchmark tariff being lower than expected, with major indices closing up. However, after the specific high tax rates were announced, investors became concerned about the escalating risks of a global trade war, which could drag the U.S. economy into recession, leading to panic selling after hours, with stock index futures plummeting. As of the time of writing, S&P 500 futures were down over 2.79%, Nasdaq futures fell over 2.65%, and Dow futures dropped more than 1.9%.The cryptocurrency market fell across the board. Initially buoyed by optimistic sentiment regarding tariffs, global risk assets generally rose, with Bitcoin briefly soaring to $88,500. However, as more details were released, market sentiment turned sharply negative, and Bitcoin plummeted to yesterday's low, returning to around $83,000, with a 24-hour decline of over 1.8%. Ethereum fell from $1,957 to below $1,800.

ChainCatcher news, according to Jin10 data reports, China International Capital Corporation (CICC) stated that Trump announced "reciprocal tariffs" on April 2, exceeding market expectations. The reciprocal tariffs combine "carpet" tariffs with "one country, one tax rate," covering more than 60 major economies.Calculations show that if these tariffs are fully implemented, the effective tariff rate in the U.S. could rise significantly by 22.7 percentage points from 2.4% in 2024 to 25.1%, surpassing the tariff levels after the implementation of the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act in 1930.CICC believes that reciprocal tariffs may increase uncertainty and market concerns, exacerbating the risk of "stagflation" in the U.S. Estimates indicate that tariffs could push U.S. PCE inflation up by 1.9 percentage points and reduce real GDP growth by 1.3 percentage points, although they may also bring in over $700 billion in fiscal revenue. In the face of "stagflation" risks, the Federal Reserve may have no choice but to wait and see, making it difficult to cut interest rates in the short term. This will further increase the risk of economic downturn and add downward pressure on the market.
