As the world's largest economy, the judicial ruling on the United States' tariff policies could trigger far-reaching global ripple effects beyond expectations. Once tariffs are deemed illegal, the tariffs imposed by the US on multiple countries will immediately become invalid, which not only undermines its influence in international trade but also disrupts previous trade negotiation dynamics based on tariff threats. Major trading partners such as the EU and Canada may seize the opportunity to renegotiate for more favorable terms.
For emerging markets, this double-edged sword presents both opportunities and traps. In the short term, tariff reductions can indeed alleviate some countries' export pressures, especially those economies heavily reliant on exports to the US. However, the issue is that the US may not abandon trade protectionism and could turn to more covert and targeted legal measures to reimpose tariffs. By then, trade barriers will become more complex and unpredictable.
More notably, the divergence in global central bank policies is intensifying. The European Central Bank is gradually ending its rate-cut cycle, while the Bank of Japan cautiously advances with rate hikes. The uncertainty surrounding US tariff policies will undoubtedly amplify this divergence. Such policy misalignments will inevitably drive volatile cross-border capital flows, sharply increasing exchange rate management pressures in emerging markets. As representatives of risk assets, cryptocurrencies like BTC and ETH will also see increased volatility, requiring close attention to shifts in capital flows. It is especially important to develop hedging strategies for capital movements during this period.

Oh no, the US is shooting itself in the foot again. When the tariff policy backfires, the EU and Canada immediately become restless...

It really made me laugh. I thought slapping tariffs could scare the world, but it was pushed back by the courts. Now every country wants a piece of the pie?

The phrase "double-edged sword" is used well here. US tariffs collapsing is short-term satisfying, but I've been wary of behind-the-scenes tricks for a long time...
---
The central bank is mixing rate cuts and hikes together. The crypto market is about to start rollercoastering again. My BTC is already prepared for another dip...
---
At the end of the day, capital loves to dive into uncertainty. Although this wave in emerging markets has eased a bit, the momentum is incredible...

When the issue of tariff illegality blew up, I was thinking, how powerful is the US? One illegality and everything's gone. It's hilarious...

The pressure on exchange rates is very real. Small countries are being mobilized directly. We need to keep a close eye on central bank actions...

This wave of judicial rulings in the US really disrupts the situation. If the tariff policy reverses, the EU will definitely be eager to act, and the negotiation scene will be much more complicated then.

This wave of actions by the US is really dragging down the market, is it a slap in the face or what... When the tariff policy backfires, all subsequent trade negotiations have to start over, this is the real black swan.
The ones likely to be hurt are still the emerging market buddies, they enjoyed short-term gains but are secretly being played again in the long run, Americans have too many tricks.
The central banks are in chaos, Europe, Japan, and the US are each doing their own thing... Capital flows are unpredictable, crypto has to stay alert these two months.
Not hedging at this point is a gambler's mentality, anyway I can't understand this game anymore.
If the tariff judicial battle can't be fought, I'm more concerned about when on-chain capital can stabilize...

The US can no longer afford to play, haha. Now let's see who still dares to negotiate with it.

If this move by the US is truly deemed illegal, uh... the Global Trade Bureau will be completely blown up, and the EU will directly overturn and renegotiate? That's quite interesting.
Speaking of tariff reductions sounding great, but the real disgusting part is when they switch to "covert methods"—it's just a change of disguise, no real difference.
The policy disconnect on the central bank's side causes capital to run wild, and the volatility in the crypto market doubles. I just want to see how BTC will move... better be prepared for risks.
In this game of chess, emerging markets are caught in the middle and suffer the most. Short-term relief, long-term pitfalls.
The key still lies in capital flows; we must keep a close eye, or else we'll suffer losses in the exchange rate.

The US tariff drama isn't over yet, ruling as illegal? Haha, the more likely scenario is shifting to covert methods. Don't be naive.

This move by the US is going to backfire again, and their hide-and-seek tactics will become even more ruthless... We need to stay alert. It's too naive to think that tariffs can be banned just like that.
