Analysis: Risk asset prices could fall further if US tariff uncertainty persists

Odaily Planet Daily News IG analysts said in a report that if the trade policy is still unclear after the United States announces tariffs early this morning, the prices of risky assets may fall further. They said that investors are still "deeply uncertain about the scope, scale and objectives of these measures. The lack of transparency has exacerbated investor anxiety and pushed gold prices to record highs." The United States is facing factors such as a slowdown in manufacturing, rising inflationary pressures and weak consumer spending, which complicate the role of the Federal Reserve. Global markets are currently stagnant, but once the tariff policy is announced, it will face "large fluctuations", and the stock market, foreign exchange market and commodity market may fluctuate sharply.
