This week is going to be big. Really big. Both in finance and in crypto. Let’s start with something called “Reciprocal Tariff Week.”
What’s a Tariff? And What’s Going On?
A tariff is a tax the US puts on things it buys from other countries. This makes foreign products more expensive. The goal? To protect US businesses.
Now, this Wednesday, April 2, Donald Trump is launching what he calls “Liberation Day.”
He plans to set 20%+ tariffs on imports from over 25 countries.
These new tariffs could hit over $1.5 trillion worth of goods by the end of April.
To imagine how big that is. It’s like taxing everything Spain makes in a whole year.
This move could start a trade war. If other countries hit back with their own taxes, things could get messy fast. And when that happens, markets don’t stay calm. Prices move. Fast.
📊 What’s Happening in the US Economy This Week?
Along with Trump’s big tariff move, there’s a bunch of important US numbers and events this week:
- Tuesday
➤ Factory Data (ISM PMI): This tells us how strong US factories are.
Last month was 50.3%. This month is expected to go down to 49.5%. If it’s below 50%, it means factory activity is slowing.
➤ Job Openings (JOLTS): This shows how many jobs are available.
Last time: 7.7 million. This time: still expected to be 7.7 million. - Wednesday
➤ Trump’s “Liberation Day” – Big tariffs go live. - Thursday
➤ Jobless Claims: Tells us how many people lost their jobs recently.
Last time: 224,000 people filed for unemployment.
Forecast: 226,000, a bit more.
➤ Trade Deficit: How much more the US buys than it sells.
Last time: -$131.4 billion
Forecast: -$123 billion. That means the US is still buying a lot more than it’s selling, but slightly better than before. - Friday
➤ March Jobs Report: This shows how many new jobs were created last month. Very important.
➤ Fed Chair Powell Speaks: The guy in charge of US interest rates will speak. People listen closely to him because what he says can move markets.
All of this means markets might go wild. Prices might jump or crash, depending on what these reports say and what Trump actually does.
