Trump -ന്റെ പുതിയ ടാറിഫ് 🤯

🧨 Why is Trump Doing This?

Simple: Political drama + deal-making tactics.

It’s classic Trump negotiation theater. He says the EU hasn’t been offering good trade deals, so he’s upping the pressure..

The TLDR: Trump is playing hardball to extract better deals. But if the EU retaliates (like they did in 2018 with duties on Harley-Davidsons and bourbon), we’re in for a messy fight.

📉 Markets React: Stocks Panic, Gold Pops, Dollar Dips

• S&P 500 dropped 2.6% – worst week since March.

• Apple fell 7.5% after Trump mentioned iPhone tariffs.

• European stocks reversed their recent rallies.

• Gold surged 2% in one day as investors rushed to safety.

• The US dollar fell 1% against the Japanese yen – a classic risk-off move.

Analysts say if these tariffs stick, US GDP growth could fall 0.5%. Some now expect the Federal Reserve might cut interest rates if this drags the economy into a slowdown.

😎 Crypto? Surprisingly Calm.

Stock market panic aayappolum, crypto market calm aanu.

• Bitcoin ↓ 0.8%

• ETH ↓ 1%

• Solana ↓ 2%

Question: Is BTC turning into Digital Gold?

Messari & other analysts parayunnu: “Yes.”

Trade war leads to USD weakness → people look for store-of-value → BTC gets bid. In 2019 trade war time BTC up↑ from $5K to $12K. Gold pole move cheythu.

So verdict is: Maybe. Not yet.

👀 What Crypto Investors Should Watch Next

1. Trump Tweets & EU Reactions
   If the EU retaliates, expect more market volatility.

2. Federal Reserve Response
   If the economy slows down, they might cut rates – good for BTC. If inflation spikes, they might delay cuts – bad for crypto.

3. Bitcoin vs Gold Performance
   If Bitcoin starts tracking gold on bad news, it could signal true safe-haven behavior.

4. Bitcoin Dominance & Stablecoin Flows
   If BTC dominance rises, altcoins may underperform. Rising stablecoin activity = risk-off behavior. Watch for smart money moving to safety.

5. Historical Rhymes
   In 2019, those who HODL’d or bought the dip did very well. If the Fed loosens policy again, crypto could benefit big.

🎯 Crypto Mafia’s Final Take

Right now, crypto is relaxed. But if Trade War 2.0 gets serious, BTC may become the safe haven it always wanted to be.

Enthayalum, ithu oru high-stakes political circus aanu. And crypto is sitting in the front row 🍿

Market still isn’t panicking → which means more room to run. So maybe, just maybe, ithu ellam BTC-de ultimate test aavum.

Verdict: Hodl. Watch Trump. Watch Powell. And enjoy the chaos.

Next edition-il kaanam. Until then... 🫡💸
