🚨 Trump’s Tariff Playbook Is Back — Markets Brace for Volatility
Trump has reignited tariff-driven volatility, announcing new tariffs on the EU and linking any rollback to a Greenland deal — a strategy markets have seen before.
What’s announced: $PIVX
10% tariffs from Feb 1
Increase to 25% on June 1 if no deal
Targets include Denmark, Germany, France, UK, Netherlands, Nordics
Tariffs remain until a Greenland agreement is reached
Why markets are reacting
This follows Trump’s familiar trade-pressure cycle:
Tariff threats drop when markets are closed
Futures sell off on reopen
Headline-driven volatility early week
Dip buying as traders realize tariffs aren’t live yet
“Progress” headlines appear before implementation
Deals often arrive right before tariffs take effect
What to watch: $FRAX
Markets usually struggle during the headline phase, then stabilize once negotiations begin. The Greenland angle is more complex, so timelines may stretch — but the playbook remains the same.
