The volatility stemming from President Trump's words and tweets has reached unprecedented levels. His approach to trade policy seems to oscillate between bluffing, irrationality, or something more concerning—perhaps all of the above.
Recently, President Trump announced a temporary pause on most tariffs, excluding those targeting China. This decision triggered a dramatic rally in U.S. stock markets, with the S&P 500 experiencing its largest single-day gain since 2008 and the Dow Jones surging nearly 3,000 points. While this tariff pause has eased global trade tensions and boosted investor confidence, particularly in sectors like technology and retail, the pause is temporary. Tariffs on China have been raised to 125%, leaving long-term trade relations shrouded in uncertainty.
The U.S. NASDAQ rose 12.16% during the 90-day freeze, underscoring the immense influence wielded by one individual. President Trump isn't just the leader of the United States; he has become a pivotal force in shaping global economic dynamics.
This raises a critical question: how has one nation—and one man—come to hold such sway over the world? Is it the pervasive influence of American culture, amplified by Hollywood, or are we all merely participants in a larger geopolitical narrative? Australia, as a smaller player, feels the weight of this influence, but even the EU and much of Asia—representing ~70% of the world's population—seem to be grappling with the same reality.
Perhaps it's time to reconsider the USD as the world's central currency. The idea of returning to gold as a neutral global currency is compelling, as is exploring alternatives like Bitcoin. While no currency is perfect, the dominance of the USD appears increasingly untenable. A shift to a more balanced and impartial system could help mitigate the outsized power of any single nation—or individual—over global affairs.
