Trade war escalates as China says it will raise tariffs on US goods to 125%
China has announced that it will raise tariffs on U.S. goods from 84% to 125%. It was the latest salvo in an escalating trade war between the world’s two largest economies that has rattled markets and raised fears of a global slowdown. While U.S.AP News
China just announced, they aren't surrendering, they will fight back with reciprocal tariffs of their own.
This threatens to launch a recursive war of tit for tat tariffs increases which ultimately sever our ability to do business with Chinese workers.

China vows to ‘fight to the end’ against latest Trump tariff threat
Beijing accuses US of blackmail and adding a ‘mistake on top of a mistake’ as Wednesday deadline for latest levies loomsHelen Davidson (The Guardian)
That's a very apt comparison.
While Truss's 2022 budget crashed UK gilts, forcing her out, the current U.S. tariff-driven bond yield spike feels more like Brexit under May. Both were self-inflicted, but the current U.S. turmoil is sharper, with rapid Treasury yield jumps signaling global panic.
Unlike #brexits slower burn, the U.S. trade war hits multiple nations. Trump’s system shields him from a quick ouster, unlike Truss or May. GOP unlikely to act soon. 🤷 #TradeWar #Tariffs
Alrighty Then!
Treasury yields spiking—exact opposite of Trump's desired lower rates.
10Y hitting 4.5%, 30Y approaching 5%
This signals a confidence crisis. #Markets are demanding higher returns on #US #debt amid geopolitical tensions and trade uncertainty.
Not just #market #volatility—this threatens America's economic credibility on the world stage. Trump's unpredictable policies appear to be backfiring in real time.

We're now in a world trade war and the USA is the bad guy.
So here’s the proposal:
Through a UN resolution, the rules-based world launches a coordinated, economic strike against the USA with all countries simultaneously putting 100% tariffs on the USA while lifting all tariffs between participating countries, until the USA backs off and returns to the WTO process.
Nonsense?
Possible?
I don't know how any of this works frankly. But I don’t think anyone does.

A de facto "critical-minerals embargo" being imposed by #China on the #US was to be expected.
In fact, it is somewhat surprising that President #Xi did not implement it sooner, after the #US cut off high-end GPUs for #China, which are critical for the #AI race.
It might even be a 👉wise strategy to counter Trump's de facto all-out global #TradeWar.👈

U.S. #stocks tumble on global #TradeWar fears over new #tariffs
#Trump's sweeping tariff announcement Wednesday triggered a sharp drop in U.S. stock markets, a flashing-red warning sign of the economic fallout that's expected to result from the widening trade war.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average tumbled over 1,200 points, or 2.9%, Thursday within minutes of the opening bell. The broader S&P 500 index sank 3.4%.

The 25% #tariff on cars & car parts that #Trump is talking about goes into effect just after midnight. The #UAW union is a strong supporter of those #tariffs, but auto companies & economists have said they will lead to significantly higher car #prices & could even slow US auto production.
Trump said his tariffs offered an example of his admin “standing up for our great farmers & ranchers.” Reminder: in his first term, he had to bail farmers out after they were hurt by his #TradeWar w/ #China.
Markets in Q1: #ETTTTS
Whereas the major risk back in Jan was that #Trump's 'America first' policies would push #inflation back up & prevent #US interest rate cuts, now the most important risk is #recession risk.
That has spun the $140T global bond #market 180°.
#Gold, the ultimate safe port in a storm, has had its best quarter since 1986 due to Trump's #TradeWar & the #dollar is flirting w/its worst start to a year since the 2008 global bust.
