US-China Tariffs Heat Up—Pause Still Possible, Says Bessent

President Trump signaled the U.S. and China are effectively in a trade war, even as Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent left room to extend a current tariff pause and a Trump–Xi meeting remains on the calendar. After floating a new 100% tariff on Chinese goods from Nov. 1, tensions seesawed amid Chinese sanctions and U.S. threats over soybeans. Some U.S. tariffs (up to ~145%) are paused until Nov. 10, with a Supreme Court test of “reciprocal” tariffs looming. Companies are adapting unevenly—Stellantis expanding in the U.S., while Apple deepens ties in China—suggesting continued market volatility.

Crypto, Euro, Yuan: Still No Dollar Killer

Despite frequent “de-dollarization” headlines, the U.S. dollar remains unrivaled due to unmatched market depth, global usability, and trusted legal/institutional frameworks. Crypto and other currencies (euro, yuan) lack the stability, convertibility, and infrastructure required to replace the USD, while the Fed’s credibility and the scale of U.S. financial markets continue to anchor demand. Bottom line: no alternative currently offers a complete, credible substitute for the dollar’s global role.

100% Tariff Incoming: Trump Announces November Hike on China

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.
