Crypto Market Recovery Accelerates as Global Stock Markets Rally on US Tariff Pause

Markets around the world are rallying after the US government paused new tariff hikes for most countries, triggering sharp gains in the US, European and Asian stock indices. The question is: Is Bitcoin ready to bounce back? 

US Tariff Pause Sparks Global Market Rally 

The US government, led by President Donald Trump Donald Trump Donald Trump is an American former president politician, businessman, and media personality, who served as the 45th president of the U.S. between 2017 to 2021. Trump earned a Bachelor of science in economics from the University of Pennsylvania in 1968. Trump won the 2016 presidential election as the Republican Party nominee against Democratic Party nominee Hillary Clinton while losing the popular vote. As president, Trump ordered a travel ban on citizens from several Muslim-majority countries, diverted military funding toward building a wall on the U.S.–Mexico border, and implemented a family separation policy. Trump has remained a prominent figure in the Republican Party and is considered a likely candidate for the 2024 presidential election President recently announced its plan to pause its aggressive tariff policy against most countries for the next 90 days. 

Many see this development as a clear sign that the Trump administration is willing to negotiate with its partner countries on its tariff policy. 

Earlier, many, even pro-Trump business leaders like Bill Ackman, criticised the swift way the US government implemented its tariff policy, and demanded the government pause its execution for a few days. 

Anyway, Ackman has welcomed the administration’s latest move, saying: “I was one of the first and certainly one of the loudest to raise concerns about the tariffs, I also believe in giving credit when credit is due. The outcome of Trump’s Tariff strategy was highly favourable. I focus on the outcome, not on how the sausage is made.”

Almost all the major equity markets have responded positively to the development.   

European and Asian Indices Bounce Back Strongly

Europe’s Euro STOXX 50 sits at 4,868.44 (+5.35%), Japan’s Nikkei 225 at 34,609 (+9.13%), South Africa’s All Share Index at 85,096.30 (+3.26%), and Australia’s ASX 200 at 7,709.60 (+4.54%). 

Today, certain important European indices have rebounded sharply. The UK’s FTSE 100 index has climbed from 7,678.91 to 7970.50, marking a growth of 3.79%. Italy’s FTSE MIB has increased from 32,771.83 to 34,627.51, showcasing a significant surge of 5.66%.

Crypto Market Trend: An Short Overview 

In the last 24 hours, the cryptocurrency market has rebounded nearly 4.7%. Almost all the major cryptocurrencies have shown growth. Bitcoin has surged by 5.9%, Ethereum by 8.3%, XRP by 9.9%, BNB by 3.6%, Solana by 7.6%, Dogecoin by 6.9%, TRON by 4.6%, Cardano by 9.8%, Chainlink by 9.1%, and Stellar by 6.6%. 

What This Means for Crypto in the Weeks Ahead 

The global market rebound has sparked short-term optimism in the crypto sector, as risk appetite seems to be returning. However the sustainability of this trend in digital assets depends on broader economic clarity. While Bitcoin and altcoins have responded positively to easing macro fears, uncertainties around inflation, interest rates, and the ongoing US-China tensions remain key risks.

Investors should watch whether institutional inflows continue, especially into Bitcoin ETFs. If global equity markets maintain their bullish momentum, crypto could benefit. But any sign of renewed economic pressure could bring volatility back to cryptos in the coming weeks.
