On April 2, IG analysts stated in a report that if the United States announces tariffs tonight and trade policies remain unclear, prices of risk assets could further fall. They noted that investors are still "deeply uncertain about the scope, scale, and targets of these measures. The lack of transparency has heightened investor anxiety, pushing gold prices to record highs." The U.S. is facing factors such as manufacturing slowdown, rising inflation pressures, and weak consumer spending, complicating the role of The Federal Reserve (FED). Global markets are currently in a state of stagnation, but once the tariff policy is announced, they will face "significant fluctuations," with the stock market, foreign exchange market, and commodity market possibly experiencing large swings.
