Trump is out with an announcement on tariffs:
It has simply been realized that China has taken a very aggressive place on Commerce in sending a particularly hostile letter to the World, stating that they have been going to, efficient November 1st, 2025, impose giant scale Export Controls on nearly each product they make, and a few not even made by them. This impacts ALL International locations, with out exception, and was clearly a plan devised by them years in the past. It’s completely extraordinary in Worldwide Commerce, and an ethical shame in coping with different Nations.
Based mostly on the truth that China has taken this unprecedented place, and talking just for the united statesA., and never different Nations who have been equally threatened, beginning November 1st, 2025 (or sooner, relying on any additional actions or modifications taken by China), america of America will impose a Tariff of 100% on China, over and above any Tariff that they’re at the moment paying. Additionally on November 1st, we’ll impose Export Controls on any and all essential software program.
It’s not possible to consider that China would have taken such an motion, however they’ve, and the remainder is Historical past. Thanks on your consideration to this matter!

There may be some extra yen shopping for on the announcement, which is minutes earlier than the FX market closes. USD/JPY sank a further 50 pips and S&P 500 futures fell 0.5% additional.
The one notably caveat right here is the November 1 date, which sounds prefer it leaves loads of time to make a deal.
