Trump's Tariff "U-turn": Nasdaq Surges Over 10%, Crypto Market Reacts Positively
Original Article Title: "Trump Plays 'Tariff Magic,' Sending Global Markets into a Spin"
Original Article Author: Mary Liu, via BitpushNews
U.S. President Trump suddenly announced the suspension of retaliatory tariffs against non-retaliatory countries on April 9 local time, this "about-face" not only caught Wall Street analysts off guard, but also triggered a storm in the global capital markets.

Global Market Sees Retaliatory Rebound
A policy shift stimulated a collective rebound in global risk assets. The cryptocurrency market reacted most fiercely, with the price of Bitcoin soaring 8% within an hour of the announcement, briefly surpassing the $83,000 mark. Other major coins saw even greater rebounds, with XRP and Solana both rising over 11%.

The traditional financial markets also saw a long-awaited celebration. The S&P 500 index surged 9.5% in a single day, marking its largest one-day gain since the 2008 financial crisis. The Dow Jones Industrial Average and the Nasdaq Composite Index also rose by 8.2% and 10.1%, respectively. Cryptocurrency-related stocks performed particularly well, with Coinbase's stock price soaring 17% and MicroStrategy surging 24%.
Over the past two weeks, Trump has been sticking to a hardline stance, and the rapid shift was unexpected. This indicates that Trump's policy "flexibility" far exceeds market expectations, reflecting the extreme sensitivity of global capital to Trump's trade policy changes.
Analysts Revise Reports Overnight
This dramatic change caught many Wall Street analysts off guard, forcing them to revise their research reports overnight. Goldman Sachs made an emergency adjustment to its economic forecast within just one hour, reducing the probability of a U.S. economic recession in the next 12 months from 65% to 45%, setting a record for the fastest correction on Wall Street.

Jan Hatzius, Chief Economist at Goldman Sachs, explained in the updated report: "Our previous recession forecast was based on the assumption of comprehensive tariff increases, but the policy environment has now changed." However, the bank remains cautious, forecasting that U.S. GDP growth may slow to 0.5% by 2025.
Mixed Reactions on Wall Street
Wall Street quickly formed two distinct camps in response. Bill Ackman, the head of Pershing Square Capital, issued three consecutive tweets praising this decision as a "textbook case of modern trade negotiations." This usually cautious hedge fund giant rarely shows optimism, and his funds have hurriedly increased their positions in industrial stocks by $1.2 billion.

However, "Bond King" Bill Gross holds a starkly different view, warning in an investment memo: "When market swings become a derivative of the president's mood, we are essentially trading the 'Trump put.' This is directly reflected in market data: Goldman Sachs has observed hedge funds frenetically buying volatility derivatives for hedging purposes."
Ben Kurland, CEO of the cryptocurrency research platform DYOR, analyzed: "Trump's 90-day tariff pause is a strategic breather—he has temporarily eased short-term market pressure without relinquishing any bargaining chips, clearly illustrating his transactional, not ideological, approach. This move has calmed investors' anxieties, provided a temporary sense of stability to businesses, but the time frame is not long enough to prompt a genuine supply chain shift or investment decisions."
Market analysts are reminding investors to stay vigilant. Grayscale's Head of Research, Zach Pandl, pointed out: "Short-term volatility cannot mask structural risks, fundamental issues such as a weakened dollar, high inflation, and supply chain restructuring remain unresolved."
Morgan Stanley's monitoring data shows that institutional investors are adjusting their portfolio structures, allocating more funds to safe-haven assets such as gold, U.S. Treasury bonds, indicating a defensive posture, signaling that professional investors are cautious about the future.

Foreign selling in the South Korean stock market accelerates, with cumulative net sales reportedly reaching $75 billion this year
On June 9, The Kobeissi Letter, citing Goldman Sachs data, reported that global investors are selling South Korean stocks at an unusually rapid pace. In the latest trading session, foreign investors sold about $801 million worth of Kospi constituent stocks again; total foreign outflows last week reached about $10 billion, and the market has been in net foreign selling on nearly every trading day over the past month. According to the data cited in the report, foreign investors have sold about $75 billion worth of South Korean stocks so far this year. Meanwhile, South Korean retail and institutional investors together recorded roughly $69 billion in net buying over the same period, suggesting that the market’s main buying support has come from domestic capital rather than returning overseas funds. The information currently disclosed still mainly comes from The Kobeissi Letter’s retelling and Goldman Sachs data summaries, while public details on the statistical period and the specific definition of “selling” remain relatively limited.

Scaling Crypto Derivatives: The Digital Asset Infrastructure Behind High-Volume Trading
In the fast-moving digital asset ecosystem, derivatives platforms face an extreme architectural test. High-leverage futures markets demand more than just standard security—they require absolute operational precision, zero-latency matching engines, and ironclad structural scalability, all while navigating intense market volatility.
As global platforms scale to meet these demands, the industry is shifting away from rigid, monolithic setups toward a more agile, "decoupled" infrastructure philosophy.
The Blueprint for High-Volume Copy TradingFor elite global exchanges like WEEX (founded in 2018), this architectural choice becomes critical when scaling high-volume retail features like social copy trading. When thousands of users automatically mirror the real-time strategies of elite traders simultaneously, it triggers sudden, monumental spikes in concurrent transactional volume.
To prevent execution latency or settlement bottlenecks during these peak volatility events, a platform's primary engine must remain entirely dedicated to risk management, copy-trade synchronization, and order matching.
The Architectural Rule: New-generation platforms must separate front-end user execution engines from heavy backend infrastructural overhead to eliminate operational friction.
By separating these layers, platforms can maintain complete sovereignty over their trading environments and user experiences while strategically aligning with institutional-grade infrastructure ecosystems. This strategic framework allows modern exchanges to leverage advanced Digital Asset Custody infrastructure such as Cobo’s behind the scenes, ensuring that backend wallet management scales elastically alongside trading spikes.
Capitalizing on Market Momentum and 400× LeverageIn a derivatives arena where platforms offer up to 400× leverage on perpetual contracts, capital efficiency and market agility are core business metrics. To capture market momentum, an exchange needs the ability to rapidly expand its asset offerings, supporting everything from legacy crypto assets to sudden, trending altcoins across a massive library of trading pairs.
Adopting a flexible, scalable Wallet-as-a-Service (WaaS) solution such as Cobo’s could completely rewrite the development timeline for high-growth exchanges. Instead of spending months of engineering capital building out custom backend wallet architectures for every new blockchain network, platforms can deploy localized infrastructure in days.
This agility allows platforms to instantly scale their listings to over a thousand trading pairs without compromising security or delaying time-to-market. It mirrors the exact operational advantages seen during high-velocity market events, similar to how advanced wallet infrastructure empowers platforms during sudden asset surges; allowing exchanges to pass that speed and liquidity directly to their global user base.
A Mature Foundation for GrowthThe synergy between trusted infrastructure ecosystems and global trading platforms represents the natural evolution of a maturing crypto market. As WEEX continues to scale its global spot and derivatives offerings for over 6 million users, adopting robust backend paradigms proves that platforms no longer have to compromise between cutting-edge trading velocity and uncompromised structural security.
