Markets Are in a Pre-crisis State Due to Trump's Policies, With a Potential Decline in the EUR/USD Pair and a Rise in USD/CAD

Donald Trump continues to create confusion regarding tariff policies, which significantly impacts financial market dynamics. Recently, he postponed the implementation of previously announced tariffs for Canada and Mexico from March 4 to April 2. This decision briefly boosted positive sentiment in the markets, but the effect was short-lived.

Investors analyzing Trump's economic initiatives are trying to discern his motives. His constant maneuvering and juggling of geopolitical and economic issues create chaos in global affairs and financial markets.

Throughout the past month of his presidency, he has aggressively pursued the promises made during his campaign, adopting a mindset more like that of a real estate developer than a traditional politician. His frequent threats toward neighboring countries, Europe, and China, along with an unexpectedly friendly approach toward Russia, raise questions about whether he has an incredibly sophisticated plan to achieve his "Make America Great Again" (MAGA) agenda or if he is simply applying a straightforward business-style approach that overlooks the complexities of politics and economics.

Regardless, we can leave this discussion to political analysts. Investors ultimately care about results rather than the methods used to achieve them. However, what matters to them—market stability—is currently lacking. This instability has led to declining demand for popular tokens, decreased interest in stocks, and relative stabilization of the U.S. dollar. Amid Trump's contradictions and the rapid pace of geopolitical shifts, market participants are searching for clear signals to guide investment decisions—whether to buy assets or lock in profits.

Previously, investors relied on Federal Reserve meetings, manufacturing data, and economic reports to gain clarity on Trump's grand plans. However, neither the Fed's decisions, Jerome Powell's statements, nor economic data have provided certainty. Instead, they indicate that, amid rising inflation, the Fed is unlikely to cut interest rates soon. This outlook contradicts the factors that fueled the year-long rally in the U.S. stock market. Market participants are looking toward Q4 GDP reports and PCE index data, hoping to determine what lies ahead.

In my opinion, neither GDP figures nor the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) price index will fundamentally change the market situation or alleviate the uncertainty created by the U.S. president and Donald Trump himself. Thus, I do not anticipate significant shifts in the recent market trends.

Given the current circumstances generated by the U.S. administration, there are considerable risks of continued declining demand for cryptocurrencies, consolidation within the U.S. stock market, and the dollar index stabilizing around 107.00 points (according to the ICE index). The expected end of the military conflict in Europe between Russia and the West (led by the U.S.) seems to be reducing the demand for gold as a safe-haven asset. This situation is likely to persist until a new geopolitical balance is established, defining the spheres of influence among the world's major players, with Moscow and Washington taking the lead.

What can we expect in the markets today?

A local rebound may occur following declines in token, dollar, and stock demand. However, these movements will likely be short-term and will not mark broad market shifts.

Daily Forecast:

EUR/USD:

The pair may come under pressure if the U.S. core PCE index shows growth. In this case, the U.S. dollar could strengthen, causing the pair to break out of the 1.0455-1.0520 range and drop to 1.0400.

USD/CAD:

The pair may continue rising following the PCE report. A breakout above 1.4365 could drive the pair toward 1.4475.
