The threat of tariffs from Trump continues to affect the market, with futures for the three major U.S. stock indices declining, European stocks rising, and oil prices increasing. Investors are uncertain about the impact of tariffs on inflation and economic growth. Although the market expects the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates twice, the President of the Atlanta Federal Reserve stated that only one rate cut is anticipated. Tesla and Trump Media & Tech saw their stock prices rise, while popular Chinese concept stocks generally fell. The U.S. dollar index fluctuated little, and the yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury bond rose slightly

On Tuesday, the 25th, Trump's tariff threats continue to stir the market, and Wall Street's brief rebound momentum seems to be about to extinguish.

Investors remain unclear about how tariffs will affect inflation and economic growth. The latest data suggests that the momentum of the U.S. economy is weakening, but price pressures remain high. Although the swap market still expects the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates twice this year, Atlanta Fed President Raphael Bostic stated on Tuesday that due to "very volatile" inflation, he only expects one 25 basis point rate cut.
