Trade War Fears

Definition

Trade war fears represent widespread apprehension among investors and businesses regarding escalating international trade conflicts. These fears arise from concerns that countries will impose increasing tariffs and trade barriers on each other, potentially disrupting global supply chains, reducing economic growth, and causing market instability. Such anxieties can lead to decreased investment, cautious consumer spending, and heightened volatility across financial markets. The digital asset sector, while sometimes seen as uncorrelated, can also react to these global economic uncertainties.
