U.S. Tariffs Spark Sell-Offs and Market Turmoil Amid Economic Uncertainty

Recent developments in global trade have led to significant turmoil in financial markets. The imposition of steep tariffs on Swiss products by the U.S. has adversely affected the Swiss stock market, particularly financial institutions like UBS and Julius Baer.

Concurrently, European investors have begun re-entering the U.S. market, boosting inflows despite previous outflows driven by trade war concerns. However, market volatility has surged, especially after the Federal Reserve's decision to maintain interest rates, which has raised fears regarding inflation and economic stability.

President Trump's new tariffs have exacerbated market declines, causing widespread sell-offs across both equities and cryptocurrencies. As traders grapple with this uncertainty, the outlook remains precarious, with increasing risks of further market fluctuations.
