Trump’s tariff plans set for April 2 could send shockwaves through the global economy. The scale of what’s coming is hard to overstate, and many are still underestimating it. His team is preparing tariffs on “trillions of dollars” in imports, targeting nearly every nation the U.S. trades with. Expect higher costs across the board—prices will spike, U.S. manufacturing will be strained, and agriculture will take a major hit as other nations retaliate. The uncertainty surrounding the duration of these tariffs will only add to the chaos.
The economic fallout could be worse than the Covid crisis. Yet investors aren’t fully grasping the magnitude. History tells us what happens when signals like this emerge. This tariff warning has only flashed twice since 1960. Both times, stocks soared by 20% before crashing hard.
The U.S. Federal Reserve’s recession probability model is showing a sharp drop, a rare occurrence that’s only happened 11 times since 1960. So why the drop, even with the looming tariff storm and fears of a recession? It’s about more than just tariffs—it’s the fallout that will follow. Prepare for things to get crazy in the coming months, especially starting April 2.
