## Prediction

Within one trading day, the newly imposed 10–12.5% US tariffs covering 99.4% of imports will trigger a risk-off move, with global equities selling off and emerging market currencies weakening against the US dollar. Investors will reassess global growth and inflation trajectories, anticipating supply-chain disruption and retaliation from major partners. Safe-haven flows into US Treasuries and gold are likely as markets price in a more weaponized trade environment. A synchronized drop in MSCI World and EM indices, alongside a stronger DXY and higher gold, would confirm this scenario; immediate tariff rollbacks or generous exemptions would soften the blow.

## Drivers

- FLASH alert on broad new US tariffs affecting 60 major trading partners
- Emerging trends: expansion of US coercive trade and sanctions as systemic statecraft
- Recent history of market reactions to tariff shocks in 2018–2019
