Why Broad Tariffs Matter More Than One-Day Headlines

[mendez]

Beyond China-specific measures, the risk of a higher global baseline tariff remains alive. Trump has previously hinted at raising across-the-board import duties above the levels imposed in 2025, turning trade policy into a slow-burning macro pressure rather than a single shock.

Unlike sudden tariff announcements, a baseline hike erodes risk appetite over time. For Bitcoin, this usually translates into choppier advances, shallower rebounds, and increased sensitivity to interest-rate expectations. Markets may not panic — but they also struggle to sustain momentum.
