According to Stock Talk (@stocktalkweekly), President Trump announced that while exemptions could lower tariffs, the US will maintain a 10% baseline tariff on imports. This policy signals a shift toward lasting trade barriers, which may heighten traditional market volatility and potentially drive increased interest in cryptocurrencies as alternative assets for hedging against macroeconomic uncertainty. Traders should monitor related developments as tariff policies historically influence capital flows into crypto markets, especially during periods of heightened trade tensions (source: Stock Talk on Twitter, May 9, 2025).
