TechFlow, April 2 — According to Jinshi Data, IG analysts said in a report that if U.S. trade policies remain unclear after tonight's announcement on tariffs, risk asset prices could fall further.
Analysts noted investors still "feel deeply uncertain about the scope, scale, and targets of these measures. The lack of transparency intensifies investor anxiety, pushing gold prices to record highs." Factors such as slowing manufacturing, rising inflation pressures, and weak consumer spending are complicating the Federal Reserve's role.
Analysts believe global markets are currently in a stagnant state, but once tariff policies are announced, they will face "significant volatility," with major swings likely in stock, currency, and commodity markets.
