Trump Doubles Down on China Tariffs—But Gold Gets a Free Pass in 2025 Trade Shakeup
Trade tensions flare as the former president extends China tariffs—while conspicuously shielding gold imports. A move that’ll have crypto bulls smirking as fiat-weary investors pivot to harder assets.
Key Details:
- No new duties on gold imports, signaling a strategic (or nostalgic) hedge against dollar volatility.
- Tariff extensions hit Chinese goods—classic Trump-era economic warfare with 2025 election undertones.
- Markets react: Bitcoin barely blinks while gold ETFs see suspiciously timed inflows. Coincidence? Wall Street’s algo-traders don’t believe in those.
Closing Thought: When governments play tariff bingo, smart money stacks SATs—whether that’s shiny metal or cryptographic ones. Just don’t ask the SEC to explain the difference.
