In the market, the S&P 500 index has dropped the most since December 18 and is testing its 200-day moving average, which is usually considered a support level – meaning that if the index drops below that line, it may drop further. Bitcoin sinks below $90,000, removing 10% of the proceeds from Trump’s announcement on Sunday that it created a strategic crypto reserve in the U.S. cryptocurrency reserve.

Nevertheless, with Trump’s tariff announcements being released after European markets are closed, they could react severely on Tuesday when the tariffs officially take effect. Investors should pay more for their potential volatility.
