The night from January 18 to 19 passed under the sign of sharp pressure and star tremors. Blackmail — and a new tariff plan by Donald Trump towards the EU. The USA is preparing to impose tariffs against 10 EU countries and the United Kingdom: 12% starting February 1. And 30% from June 10, 2026, if there is no deal. The market will instantly factor in the political threat.
📉 Market reaction (#Asiaopen , January 18):
— EUR updated a 7-week low at 1.1572, $GBP dropped to 1.4321. Currently — partial stability, but the risk remains.
* Classic risk-off: the franc strengthened by 0.2–0.5%.
— Gold soared by 2–2.1%, updating the historical maximum above $4670 per ounce — the market is pricing in a resistance scenario
— $BITCOIN dropped to → $91,900
— Ethereum fell to → $3,177
Additional pressure is created by the thin market — today in the USA is a holiday (MLK Day), liquidity is reduced, movements are intensified.#MarketRebound
