Global Financial Shock: Markets Plunge Amid Trump’s Aggressive Tariff Policy
Source: DairyNews.today
Financial analysts from the largest U.S. investment firms and Wall Street observers are warning of an imminent market-wide collapse — with estimates suggesting a potential drop of 15–20% as early as the end of tomorrow. Investor sentiment is being shaken by President Donald Trump’s aggressive tariff rhetoric, accompanied by a sharp decline in oil prices and massive sell-offs across Asian stock markets.
In an interview aboard Air Force One, President Trump reaffirmed his stance:
"Sometimes you need to take the medicine to fix things. One day, people will realize that tariffs are a very beautiful thing for the United States of America!"
The President reiterated his arguments about the trade deficit with China, the EU, and other nations, emphasizing that tariffs are already bringing billions of dollars into the U.S. Treasury. He vowed to “reverse” the positive trade balance that emerged under Joe Biden.
Global Markets in Panic
Amid escalating trade measures and aggressive rhetoric fr om the White House, Asian stock exchanges are experiencing sharp declines:
Taiwan: index dropped by 9.8%
Hong Kong: more than 9% loss after markets opened
China: down 10% at the opening, with the Shanghai Stock Exchange already showing a 10% decline
At the same time, oil prices fell below $60 per barrel — the lowest in four years. This deals a blow to export-dependent economies, especially Russia, wh ere the 2025 federal budget is based on oil priced at $70 per barrel.
Beijing Responds: ¥94 Billion Injected
In response to the market collapse, the People’s Bank of China urgently injected 94 billion yuan into the economy through 7-day reverse repos at a 1.50% rate. Further liquidity injections are expected in the coming days to stabilize the situation.
What’s Next?
The financial world braces for the worst trading day of the year
Central banks are discussing coordinated responses
Trump intensifies pressure, despite the market meltdown
Experts warn the conflict could escalate into a full-scale trade war, with long-term consequences for global demand, supply chains, and currency stability. The situation now demands close attention from international financial institutions.
