🌐 TRADE WARS & TARIFFS — HOW POLITICS DISTORT CURRENCY VALUE
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
💡 THE CORE IDEA
Currencies don’t transfer solely due to economics.
In addition they transfer due to coverage battle.
When international locations impose tariffs or enter commerce wars, forex valuation turns into a political weapon, not a free-market end result.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📊 WHAT ARE TARIFFS AND TRADE WARS?
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Tariffs are taxes on imported items.
Commerce wars happen when international locations retaliate with tariffs, quotas, or restrictions.
Results:
Increased import costs
Disrupted provide chains
Decreased commerce volumes
Slower world development
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⚠️ WHY TRADE WARS MOVE CURRENCIES
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
1️⃣ Export Stress
Tariffs cut back export competitiveness → commerce steadiness worsens → forex weakens.
2️⃣ Progress Shock
Decrease commerce = decrease GDP expectations → dovish central banks → weaker forex.
3️⃣ Forex as a Weapon
Nations might permit their forex to weaken to offset tariffs and regain competitiveness.
