China-US trade war: Stocks plummet
The global stocks plunged after US President Trump announced new tariffs on goods of worth $200 billion. The reason for same was stated by Trump as:
“Unfortunately, China has determined that it will raise tariffs on $50 billion worth of United States exports. China apparently has no intention of changing its unfair practices related to the acquisition of American intellectual property and technology. Rather than altering those practices, it is now threatening United States companies, workers, and farmers who have done nothing wrong.”
The president also added, “Further action must be taken to encourage China to change its unfair practices, open its market to United States goods, and accept a more balanced trade relationship.”
Though the taxes haven’t imposed yet,
“if China refuses to change its practices”, they will be put into motion. In response, China has declared a trade war, stating: “The United States has initiated a trade war that violates market laws and is not in accordance with current global development trends.”
This led to a global stocks sell off and Dow futures are down 350 points. However, crypto market and the dollar are up while pound and yuan are down. This news also resulted in the fall of France’s CAC 40 and Germany’s DAX. Meanwhile, Chinese cryptocurrency market is preparing for the inflow of capital as the investors are planning to establish funds. Apparently, the volatility of the market and fund establishment will drive the bulls, as per Chinese crypto experts.
