Sharp Turns in Tariff Agenda
- Global markets continue to follow the agenda regarding tariffs. The new round of “Tariff Wars” is being played between Europe and the US this time.
- President Trump had previously said that he was recommending a 50% tariff on Europe, which would take effect on June 1st.
- But on Sunday, after a meeting with European Commission President Ursula Von der Leyen, he said he would postpone tariffs on the EU from June 1 to July 9.
- On Friday, President Trump shook the markets by announcing that 50 percent tariffs would be imposed on the EU starting on June 1, but today, with the decision to postpone, European stock markets and Wall Street futures are on the rise.
- Meanwhile, US markets are closed today due to a holiday.
- On tariffs, we see that Trump is following a similar process with other countries. After announcing high tariffs, he has been accommodating the demands from the other side.
- In major digital currencies, where trading volumes may remain low due to the closure of Wall Street, we think that the rises may continue in the short term with the positive climate. However, it would not be surprising to see a horizontal course today. We maintain our medium and long term views as stated below.
Digital Compass
In the US, the locomotive of the world economy, we consider the strategic crypto reserve, which started with Trump’s nomination process, as a very important development. However, we have already seen that the markets had already priced in the “best case scenario” before and after the US elections and that the “less than perfect” news on this issue put pressure on digital assets. We continue to keep the strategic reserve issue in our equation as a positive variable for cryptocurrencies in the long run. Taking into account the latest developments on a global scale, we maintain our bullish expectation for the medium and long term.
