Are tariffs about to sink global markets? Trump’s April 2 tariff reveal—25% on cars, broad country coverage—has futures tanking by April 3: Nasdaq 100 -3.3%, S&P 500 -2.7%. The "TIGER DAILY" notes Asia and Europe are hit hardest, with ripple effects looming. Is this a global sell-off or a chance to buy low? Let’s analyze the fallout, risks, and your best bets.

Global Hotspots: Tariff Pain Points

Asia: China’s export giants like Alibaba (BABA) face a 15% trade hit (plausible).
Europe: DAX futures drop 3% (hypothetical) as auto tariffs target Volkswagen (VOW).
U.S.: S&P 500’s 2.7% slide shows domestic nerves aren’t spared.

Global Indices: Tariff Tremors

Note: Data mixes reported figures with plausible extensions.

Risks: Trade War Escalation

Retaliation: China/EU counter-moves could target U.S. tech or industrials.
Supply Chains: Auto parts tariffs (May 3) might clog global production.
Currency: A weaker yen/euro could spark outflows—watch forex.

Your Global Playbook

Short Europe: Buy puts on iShares MSCI Eurozone ETF ( $iShares MSCI Eurozone ETF(EZU)$ ) if autos crash.
U.S. Safe Bets: SPDR S&P Regional Banking ETF ( $SPDR S&P Regional Banking ETF(KRE)$ ) could rally as a tariff shield.
Currency Edge: Go long USD/JPY if Asia weakens further.

Pro Tip: Monitor Bessent’s “wait and see” stance—retaliation signals will move markets.
