Will a 104% tariff trigger the next financial crisis? Experts warn of unprecedented market turmoil

In a dramatic escalation of trade tensions that has rattled global markets, China announced Wednesday it will raise tariffs on US imports to 84%, prompting an immediate US response that pushed duties on Chinese goods to a staggering 104%. The move represents the most significant trade barrier between the world's two largest economies in modern history, sending shockwaves through financial markets worldwide.

US Response and Market Impact

President Trump's "Liberation Day" announcement on April 2 initially imposed a 34% tariff on Chinese imports. After China's matching retaliation, Trump added an additional 50% tariff, bringing the total to 104%. Markets reacted violently, with the S&P 500 heading for its fifth consecutive day of declines and the VIX Index crossing 50 - its highest level since April 2020.

Political Battleground

A bipartisan group of senators has launched an urgent effort to repeal the tariffs, led by Rand Paul (R-Ky.) and Ron Wyden (D-Ore.). The White House remains firm, with Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stating, "When America is punched, [the president] punches back harder." Chinese officials have vowed to "fight to the end," characterizing US actions as "blackmail."

Global Response

While Japan and South Korea have opened negotiations, other nations are taking defensive positions.

Gold's Historical Performance During Trade Wars

As market turbulence intensifies, gold has significantly outperformed both the S&P 500 and other commodities like copper, oil, and silver. Standard Chartered Bank forecasts gold averaging $3,300 per ounce in Q2 2025, citing historical data showing gold gained an average of 15% during past U.S. recessions. During previous periods of stagflation, gold rose as much as 61% between November 1973 and March 1975.
