Trump’s Tariff Shocks and Powell Threat Stir Currency Volatility to 2023 Highs
Donald Trump’s on-and-off tariffs have pushed currency volatility to multi-year highs and fueled demand for foreign exchange hedging products as companies struggle to keep up with market fluctuations. Currency volatility in recent days has reached levels last seen during the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank and Credit Suisse in March 2023.

US GDP Slips, Market Volatility Rises: The 4 Shocks Impacting Global Investment Outlook
According to the Atlanta Federal Reserve’s GDPNow model, which incorporates specific adjustments for unusual conditions, the U.S. economy is projected to have shrunk at an annualized rate of 0.1% during the January to March quarter.
Key factors currently influencing the U.S. economy and shaping global investor sentiment include:
1. Tariffs make imports more expensive and reduce willingness/ability to buy, causing a demand shock
2. Businesses face a shortage of supplies at reasonable prices
3. Financial market turmoil with the US dollar, US stocks and US Treasuries all pushing rates lower
4. Policy changes every hour, 180 degree different policy statements and uncertainty about the timing/level and spread of final tariffs.
There is no easy, pleasant off boarding from these four factors for at least the next few months and probably longer. Uncertainty is here to stay. Uncertainty and its associated volatility remain high and continue to dominate business, consumer and investor sentiment.

Crypto Trends 2025: Community Governance, Bitcoin Surge, Trump Memecoin, and Smart Money Moves
A significant shift is ahead of us, with community led governance protocols set to redefine decision making in crypto. With on-chain voting mechanisms and transparent processes, power is returning to users, creating a more equitable ecosystem.
Bitcoin is up 33% since the April halving – and that’s despite volatile macro conditions. Why? Supply shock + institutional strength. With ETFs and big players, some analysts believe this cycle could peak faster than the usual 4 years. Exploration in crypto can seem chaotic, but that’s part of the adventure. The journey isn’t always clear, and sometimes you need to accept uncertainty. Remember, even the best navigators started out as wanderers. Let’s keep seeking wisdom and clarity together!
Trump’s memecoin surged by 8%, surprising investors by not following the typical token unlock patterns. Trump’s official Solana-based memecoin recorded an 8% gain after unlocking 40 million tokens which is an unusual move, as unlocks usually trigger a selloff. The token surged from $7.54 to $8.30 despite a 20% increase in circulating supply, raising eyebrows about market dynamics or possible coordinated buying. Savvy investors often leave traces of their activity ahead of a price surge; monitoring the right wallets can help identify accumulation before it becomes widely noticed. The biggest alpha isn’t in the headlines, it’s in the silent flow of capital between addresses.
