Trump Tariffs: WTF Is Wrong With Americans And What Can You Buy?

When President Donald Trump gets Greenland following this latest wave of Trump prices, the whole market will pump like crazy, and the metals will correct sharply. Prepare wisely.

Polymarket, at least, offers this possibility of 21-35%:

The other side of the coin is that large parts of the West are de-aligning themselves with the USA right now because of Trump. In this case, the US referred to eight European countries, including England, Denmark and France, against US-Greenland acquisition efforts.

Our dollars are becoming worthless. Gold, silver, hard assets should go up as a result. So yes, Trump is adding volatility to the markets again, but at what cost?

What’s the Best Way to Benefit from the Trump Tax?

Invest in China? Short the S&P? Everything can be this simple.

Equity futures are cheap across Europe and the US, while we’ve seen a lot of money run into the mainstream. Indeed, the most prominent trades have been Gold and Silver which have reached highs.

Silver, in particular, is up 206% since this date last year.

Meanwhile, Trump’s proposed tariff is a 10% tariff starting February 1 on goods from Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the UK, the Netherlands, and Finland, rising to 25% in June without a deal on Greenland.

“Tariff threats from other NATO members add a new dose of uncertainty,” – Tim Waterer, Senior Market Analyst, KCM Trade

What Will Go Right Under Trump? Haven Assets Surge as ‘Sell America’ Rumors Return

Since Trump’s prices, Gold jumped more than 1.5% to new records near $4,700 an ounce; silver passed $94. European equity-index futures fell about 1.3%, S&P 500 futures fell close to 1%, and the dollar weakened against major peers.

Bitcoin down as liquidity seeks certainty over volatility:

  • Gold: FRED data shows inflation up more than 60% year-on-year, driven by expected rate cuts and central bank purchases.
  • Crypto: CoinGecko shows the recovery of bitcoin between tax topics, which is consistent with the flow of short-term risk despite the strong demand for the structure.
  • Prices: Treasury futures gained in tape reduced over the holidays, while European bonds firmed.

European leaders have condemned the move, with France signaling that the EU’s anti-enforcement tool might work. A full-blown trade war would be equally damaging; Europe holds about $8T in US bonds and stocks, almost twice the rest of the world combined.

“There is no such thing as trade certainty anymore,” said Carsten Brzeski, Global Head of Macro, ING.

Some good news: Asian markets remain stable. South Korea woke up to the hope of AI; China has reached its 5% growth target and the Japanese Yen/USD pairing remains stable. The tension now is whether prices outpace wage pressures or become another bargaining chip.

What we have seen in America is that the capital itself has become a state.

Think of feudal Japan: The president and his subordinates are the emperor, the King who rules the land whose name is absolute and final authority from heaven itself. The reality behind this high-profile myth is that bureaucrats, firms, donors, and a very small group of private interests set foreign and domestic policy the same way the shogun did.

Trump can mess up the markets in the short term, but he can’t break the trend. Crypto, AI, and the S&P are all moving forward on fundamentals that are orders of magnitude higher. The real catalyst is still loading: low rates, QE. It’s not here yet, but it’s coming.
