Analyst: If US Tariff Uncertainty Continues, Risk Asset Prices May Further Decline

BlockBeats News, April 2nd, an IG analyst stated in a report that if the US announces tariffs tonight and trade policy remains unclear, the prices of risk assets may further decline. They mentioned that investors still "feel deeply uncertain about the scope, scale, and objectives of these measures. The lack of transparency has heightened investor anxiety, pushing the gold price to a record high."

The US is facing factors such as a slowdown in manufacturing, rising inflation pressure, and weak consumer spending, complicating the role of the Federal Reserve. The global market is currently stagnant, but once the tariff policy is announced, it will face "significant volatility," with stock markets, foreign exchange markets, and commodity markets potentially experiencing substantial fluctuations.
