🇺🇸💥 Trump shakes up the board: starting in October, new tariffs of 25% to 100% on trucks, furniture, and even medicines.
Factories back in the U.S. or higher prices for everyone? 🚚💊📈🔥
Donald Trump has just announced a tax (tariff) package that will take effect on October 1, 2025. His goal is clear: to manufacture more domestically and rely less on foreign sources.
The idea is to raise the cost of imports and make local production more attractive. According to Trump, this will help recover jobs and strengthen the U.S. industry.
Why does it matter?
In summary, it is not just a tax adjustment, but a strong shift in the way trade is conducted. We will have to see how it impacts daily life, businesses, and the relationship of the U.S. with other countries.
The announcement of such tariffs and trade are directly connected, even if it doesn’t seem like it at first glance:
• Markets in tension: whenever a president announces taxes on imports, markets react. The dollar may rise against other currencies, stock prices of companies that rely on exporting to the U.S. may fall, or input costs may increase. This directly affects daily trading.
• Sectors hit or favored: if Trump raises the cost of imported furniture, medicines, or trucks, local manufacturers in those sectors may see their stocks rise; conversely, foreign companies that export to the U.S. may decline. An attentive trader looks for those opportunities.
• Increased volatility: measures of this magnitude typically trigger volatility in indices (S&P 500, Nasdaq, Dow Jones) and in currencies like the yuan, the Mexican peso, or the euro, because the affected countries react. And volatility is the raw material for trading.
In summary: tariffs are not just economic policy, they are catalysts for movement in the markets, and that is precisely what a trader seeks to gain in the short or long term.
