New tariff policy update reshaping global trade dynamics. A series of import duties targeting major European economies—Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the UK, Netherlands, and Finland—will kick off February 1st at 10%.

The stakes escalate come June 1st when those rates jump to 25%, marking a significant pressure point for these nations' export sectors. The policy framework ties tariff duration directly to bilateral negotiation outcomes, with phased increases creating distinct decision windows for affected parties.

This kind of policy intervention typically ripples across risk asset markets including crypto. Trade tensions and geopolitical shifts influence capital flows, currency valuations, and overall market risk appetite—factors that historically correlate with crypto volatility and investor positioning shifts.
