HONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach Newswire - 9 April 2025 - 2025 has marked a turning point for global stock markets, as U.S. stocks, once the uncontested giants, now face a dramatic decline, while European markets surge ahead. The VT Markets Research Desk points to two powerful forces reshaping the landscape: U.S. tariff policies and China's booming AI sector. Under the pressure of both internal and external challenges, U.S. stocks have lost their once-leading position. Meanwhile, markets in Germany, France, and the UK have gained momentum thanks to a manufacturing revival. Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index has soared, boosted by the launch of DeepSeek and China's thriving tech sector. However, the broader Asian market struggles, with Australia, a key trade partner of China, also feeling the weight of the downturn alongside U.S. stocks. Impact of Trump's Tariff Policy Trump's tariff strategy has resurfaced, revealing deep structural contradictions in U.S. trade. According to data from the U.S. Department of Commerce, the U.S. current account deficit grew by $228.2 billion in 2024, reaching $1.13 trillion. This increase is primarily attributed to a further expansion of the goods deficit. In this context, new tariffs – including a 20% tariff on China and 25% punitive tariffs on steel and aluminum – appear to serve as a strategic deterrent. Despite Trump's claims that the tariffs are aimed at reducing the trade deficit, the reality is more complex. The VT Markets Research Desk ......read more
