China announced on April 9 a dramatic increase in tariffs on American products, which will rise to 84% starting April 10, 2025 at 12:01 AM. This decision is a direct response to Donald Trump, who had raised tariffs on Chinese imports to 104% the day before!

A new trade tension is shaking relations between Washington and Tokyo. Donald Trump's recent decision to impose massive tariffs on Japanese products is causing a shockwave. Japan is reacting, setting up a delegation, and trying to contain the crisis before it worsens.

Global trade is wobbling under the effect of a new escalation between Washington and Beijing. Donald Trump is reigniting the tariff offensive against China, rekindling a trade war that marked his previous term. Beijing, far from backing down, is deploying a firm response, determined to defend its strategic interests. This renewed showdown between the two superpowers resonates well beyond customs, threatens global economic balances, and stirs tensions in international markets. A confrontation whose implications could be felt well beyond American and Chinese borders.

While the rupee wavers and capital flees, Islamabad is counting on digital assets to reshape its economic landscape.

Donald Trump reignited trade tensions with China on Monday, April 7, by threatening to impose "additional" tariffs of 50% on Chinese products. This new escalation would occur as soon as April 9, if Beijing does not reverse its decision to retaliate against the U.S. customs offensive. China had indeed announced an increase of its own tariffs to 34% on American imports, effective April 10.

A new trade confrontation is beginning between the two shores of the Atlantic. Through the announcement of a 20% tariff on all European products, Washington directly targets exports from the Old Continent. France, on the front line, faces the threat of a major economic shock.

As clouds gathered over the crypto landscape, a lightning bolt split the sky: Ethereum, an indispensable pillar, lost 14% of its value in 24 hours. A brutal drop, amplified by the liquidation of an Ethereum whale for $106 million on Sky, the DeFi platform rebranded in August. Behind these numbers lie cold mechanisms, ruthless mathematical ratios, and a chain reaction cruelly reminiscent of the fragility of decentralized ecosystems. What if this debacle reflected a market still too sensitive to geopolitical shocks, such as Donald Trump's recent customs announcements? A deep dive into the guts of algorithmic carnage.
