4E: Tariff Clouds Loom, Focus This Week on Trump's Policy Moves and Powell's Speech

4E: Tariff Clouds Loom, Focus This Week on Trump's Policy Moves and Powell's Speech

2025-04-14 11:14

April 14th news, according to 4E monitoring, the global market experienced significant volatility amid the uncertainty of Trump's tariff policies and the expectation of a more accommodative Federal Reserve. After a rollercoaster performance, the US stock market saw a strong weekly rebound, with the three major indices recording their best performance in over a year last week. The S&P 500 rose 5.7% in total, marking the best single-week performance since November 2023, the Dow Jones increased by 4.95%, and the Nasdaq rose by 7.29%. The FANG+ index, which tracks the seven major technology stocks, rose by 8.95%, with NVIDIA standing out particularly, posting a weekly increase of 17.62%. The crypto market experienced significant volatility. Bitcoin fell sharply at the beginning of the week, approaching $74,000 due to risk-off sentiment triggered by the tariff war. Subsequently, as Trump announced a suspension of reciprocal tariffs and released a list of exemptions, market sentiment improved, and Bitcoin gradually rebounded, reaching a high of over $86,000. As of the deadline, it was trading at $84,408, with a weekly gain of nearly 7%. Other altcoins also saw significant rebounds, although Ethereum continued to show relatively weak performance. Although the market rebounded following the relaxation of tariff policies last week, Trump's latest statement denied the possibility of tariff exemptions, and policy uncertainty remains the main risk. U.S. inflation data (CPI and PPI) came in below expectations, and the minutes from the March Federal Reserve meeting indicated that inflation may be more persistent. This week, it is essential to closely monitor developments regarding Trump's tariff policies and Powell's speeches.
