Abstract:The U.S. will impose an additional 100% tariff on Chinese imports starting Nov. 1, 2025—potentially earlier—alongside new export controls on “critical software,” escalating tensions after Beijing’s rare-earth curbs, new port fees, a Qualcomm probe, and a halt to U.S. soybean purchases. Stocks fell on the news. Key context: some U.S.-China tariffs remain paused until Nov. 10, a Supreme Court case could reshape Trump’s tariff authority, new U.S. duties on cabinets (Oct. 1) and wood products (Oct. 14) are in force, and a pause on Mexico tariffs is set to end next month.

Trump Announces 100% Tariff on Chinese Goods Starting Nov. 1, 2025
President Trump said Friday the U.S. will impose an additional 100% tariff on Chinese imports beginning November 1, 2025, escalating trade tensions with Beijing. In a post on Truth Social, he called Chinas recent trade stance “extraordinarily aggressive,” citing new export controls set to take effect next month that he said impact multiple countries and are a “moral disgrace.”
Trump added the tariff start date could be moved forward depending on China‘s response. He also said new U.S. export controls aimed at restricting China’s access to “critical software” will take effect on the same day in November.
Earlier Friday, Trump warned of a “massive increase” in duties and suggested he may cancel a planned meeting later this month with Chinese leader Xi Jinping.

Whats next
Supreme Court test: Early next month, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear a case challenging Trump‘s “reciprocal” country-by-country tariffs. Lower courts have ruled against those duties; if the Supreme Court agrees, it could reshape Trump’s tariff strategy and the revenue tied to it.
New U.S. duties in October:
Mexico pause ending: A U.S. pause on tariffs for Mexican goods is also set to expire early next month.
The administration is signaling a harder line on trade with China—backed by a 100% tariff and new export controls—while legal and diplomatic cross-currents (including a pending Supreme Court case and ongoing negotiations) could still shift the path ahead.

Every broker with a marketing budget now slaps the letters "ECN" on its homepage. Few of them actually deliver what those letters promise. For a serious trader — a scalper, a day trader, an algo trader, anyone whose edge lives or dies on execution quality — the gap between a true ECN broker and a market maker wearing an ECN costume can quietly cost you hundreds of pips a year in slippage, requotes, and inflated spreads.
