As President Trump prepares to announce sweeping 20% tariffs on imports, economists warn of potential household impacts exceeding $4,000 annually and markets show increasing volatility with the S&P 500 already down 8% from its peak.
With recession risks estimated at 35-40% and signs of stagflation emerging, this watershed moment in U.S. trade policy demands immediate investor attention. A trusted partner has revealed compelling evidence that merits urgent review, particularly given current market conditions.
President Donald Trump is set to announce what his administration calls "Liberation Day" tariffs on Wednesday, April 2, 2025, in what could be the most significant shift in U.S. trade policy in decades. The proposed measures, potentially including a 20% blanket tariff on imports, come at a time when the economy is showing signs of vulnerability and markets are already exhibiting heightened volatility.
With a record U.S. trade deficit of $131.4 billion, the administration is taking an aggressive stance on trade reform. However, economic experts warn of significant household impacts, with Yale Budget Lab estimating a potential loss in buying power of $3,400-$4,200 per household. If implemented, these tariffs would push the average effective U.S. tariff rate to 32.8%, the highest level since 1872.
The uncertainty surrounding the tariff implementation has already taken its toll on financial markets. The S&P 500 has retreated 8% from its all-time high, while the Nasdaq Composite has fallen 13% from its recent peak. Goldman Sachs has responded by lowering its 2025 S&P 500 target to 5,700 from 6,200, reflecting growing concerns about economic growth prospects.
Stock investors are scared.
And volatility is soaring.
Most people are obsessed with Trump's on-again, off-again tariffs.
Yes, the economic uncertainly is playing havoc with the stock market.
But there's a bigger and more important force you need to know about.
It's a market cycle that helps us figure out what is most likely to happen for the rest of 2025, and in 2026 too.
This market cycle is what allowed me to accurately call the bear markets of 2018... and 2022... and the roaring bull markets in both 2023 and 2024.
That's why I want to show you what's most likely coming next, based on 100 years of data.
The bad news is, there's another big crash coming. I want to show you when history says it's most likely to take place, and what I recommend doing with your money now.

Senior White House trade and manufacturing counselor Peter Navarro projects the new tariffs could generate approximately $700 billion annually in revenue, comprising $100 billion from auto tariffs and $600 billion from other duties. The administration appears willing to accept short-term economic pain for what it sees as long-term trade benefits, with Trump characterizing the move as a potential "rebirth of the country."
The rollout faces significant logistical and political hurdles. Questions remain about port capacity, enforcement mechanisms, and the potential for international retaliation. Industry observers note that negotiations could extend for weeks or months, creating an extended period of uncertainty for businesses and markets.
As this watershed moment approaches, investors face a critical juncture. With recession risks estimated at 35-40% by leading analysts and signs of stagflation emerging, the coming months could present both significant challenges and opportunities. Market experts suggest that those seeking to navigate this period of transformation may benefit from expert guidance and strategic positioning.
