According to PANews, concerns are rising among economists about the potential for a U.S. economic recession if the latest round of tariffs imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump is not swiftly revoked. Mark Zandi, Chief Economist at Moody's Analytics, expressed that without significant exemptions, the economy may struggle to absorb these increased tariffs, making a recession more likely.
Zandi noted that the tariffs announced by Trump are more severe than even the worst-case scenarios previously considered. He advised preparing for potential economic shocks if these tariffs remain in place. On a static basis, the tariffs account for nearly 2% of the GDP, marking the largest tax increase since those implemented during World War II to fund the war effort.#Economists #Recession #USTariffs #EconomicConcerns #Moody'sAnalytics #DonaldTrump #EconomicShocks #GDP #TaxIncrease #WorldWarII

According to Odaily, OKX's Global Chief Business Officer, Lennix, attended the '2025 Hong Kong Web3 Carnival' summit, participating in a roundtable discussion on 'Bitcoin as the Next Global Reserve Asset.' During the discussion, Lennix highlighted that amid ongoing global trade wars and tariff changes, particularly those imposed by the United States on other countries, Bitcoin is increasingly being viewed as a more transparent and reliable reserve asset. He noted that Bitcoin could help mitigate currency devaluation and other economic shocks caused by tariffs.
Lennix further mentioned that if the U.S. government begins to incorporate Bitcoin into its strategic reserves, market participants worldwide might reassess Bitcoin's potential as a reserve asset, potentially accelerating its adoption as the next generation of central bank reserve assets.#Bitcoin #GlobalReserveAsset #Web3Carnival #HKWeb3 #Cryptocurrency #EconomicShocks #Tariffs #MarketAdoption #CentralBankReserves #BTC

🚀 Expert: Central Banks Exercise Caution Amid External Shocks
#CentralBanks #MonetaryPolicy #InterestRates #FederalReserve #BankOfJapan #EuropeanCentralBank #EconomicShocks #COVID19 #FinancialMarkets #CurrencyDepreciation #BondMarket #InvestmentStrategy #Caution
SimCorp's Asia-Pacific Head of Investment Decision Research, Olivier Dacier, stated that central banks typically avoid taking risks. According to Jin10, when faced with external shocks such as Liberation Day tariffs or the COVID-19 pandemic, they tend to pause actions and emphasize the need for data. This cautious approach was evident in the Federal Reserve's recent measures and is also being adopted by the Bank of Japan.
Dacier noted that once conditions stabilize this year, the Bank of Japan might resume interest rate hikes. However, its bond-buying operations, which limit long-term bond yields, have not been well-received by the market, leading to a depreciation of the yen. The divergence in opinions during meetings of the Federal Reserve, the Bank of Japan, and the European Central Bank is significantly greater than before, highlighting a lack of confidence in the available data.#CentralBanks #MonetaryPolicy #InterestRates #FederalReserve #BankOfJapan #EuropeanCentralBank #EconomicShocks #COVID19 #FinancialMarkets #CurrencyDepreciation #BondMarket #InvestmentStrategy #Caution
