加密市场对关税不确定性做出迅速反应

当场景再次转移到华盛顿时

The crypto world had just begun to recover from the market’s deep and prolonged Bitcoin winter when the scene shifted once again to Washington, D.C.

当场景再次转移到华盛顿特区时

You could even say that as the Bitcoin ball kept rolling downhill—past $17,000, $18,000, and even $19,000—the excitement and participation level of the crypto space kept rising. At the same time, the crypto-killer ice storms of 2014 and 2018 seemed to be occurring further in the past than they really were. And then came late May 2019.

您甚至可以说，随着比特币球不断下坡滚动（Passt，$ 17,000，18,000美元，甚至19,000美元），加密货币空间的兴奋和参与水平不断上升。同时，2014年和2018年的加密杀伤力风暴似乎比实际发生了。然后是2019年5月下旬。

The fresh dangers encompass a far-reaching 50% duty on all merchandise coming in from the European Union and a sharp 25% tax on imports that targets Apple (AAPL) directly if the company maintains its current course of building iPhones anywhere but in the U.S.

新的危险涵盖了来自欧盟的所有商品的50％责任，如果公司在美国以外的任何地方建造iPhone的过程，则直接针对苹果（AAPL）的进口税25％。

Tariffs Target EU and Apple Amid Trade Frustration

在贸易挫败感的情况下，关税针对欧盟和苹果

The announcement from President Trump was accompanied by some very sharp criticism of both the trade policies of Europe and of Apple’s global supply chain strategy.

特朗普总统的宣布伴随着对欧洲贸易政策和苹果全球供应链战略的一些非常尖锐的批评。

Expressing what he saw as frustrations with the negotiating process—specifically, he called the negotiations “stalled”—Trump made it very clear that unless things in trade talks started to improve, we could expect to see the proposed tariffs go into effect on June 1.

特朗普表达了他对谈判过程的挫败感 - 特别是他称谈判“停滞不前”，这很清楚，除非贸易谈判中的事情开始改善，否则我们可以期望看到拟议的关税将于6月1日生效。

One of the most valuable and famous companies in America, Apple, found itself in the political crosshairs. The tech giant was directly cited by Trump for moving much of its iPhone production to India, an American company in an American-style business move. Apple made this move to diversify its manufacturing base and reduce dependence on China, not in deference to any foreign government. The president warned, however, that unless Apple got the message and began relocating more of its production back to U.S. soil, it would face a 25 percent tariff on devices made overseas.

苹果公司是美国最有价值，最著名的公司之一，在政治十字准线中发现自己。这家科技巨头被特朗普直接引用，原因是将其大部分iPhone生产转移到了美国风格的商业活动的美国公司。苹果采取了此举，使其制造基地多样化并减少对中国的依赖，而不是尊重任何外国政府。然而，总统警告说，除非苹果收到信息并开始将其更多的生产转移回美国，否则它将面临海外设备的25％的关税。

Trump stated in a press release that the tariffs impose a balance and fairness to trade. They are also about bringing manufacturing to America and defending American workers.

特朗普在新闻稿中说，关税施加了平衡和公平性。他们还致力于将制造业带到美国并为美国工人辩护。

Although Trump’s rhetoric has always concentrated on the theme of economic nationalism, the sudden appearance and the sheer scale of these new threats caught lots of folks off guard. And it struck that way for a couple of reasons. First, the rhetoric had just recently begun to cool down, and we were in the middle of a global economic outlook conference when Trump poured fresh fuel on the fire.

尽管特朗普的言论始终集中在经济民族主义的主题上，但这些新威胁的突然出现和规模使许多人措手不及。这是出于两个原因而发生的。首先，言论刚刚开始冷静下来，当特朗普在大火上倾注新的燃料时，我们正处于全球经济前景大会的中间。

Crypto Markets React Swiftly to Tariff Uncertainty

加密市场对关税不确定性做出迅速反应

The immediate and intense effect on financial markets was evident. Bitcoin (BTC) had only recently attained a new all-time high of $112,000, but in the blink of an eye, it lost more than 3%, with some brave (or foolish) souls even forecasting a price as low as $107,600. Analysts blamed the uncertainty unleashed by the tariff threat.

对金融市场的直接和强烈影响很明显。比特币（BTC）最近才获得了112,000美元的新历史最高点，但眨眼间，它损失了3％以上，甚至有些勇敢（或愚蠢）的灵魂甚至预测价格低至107,600美元。分析师指责关税威胁释放的不确定性。

The S&P 500 (INDEX:SP500) also slipped, and tech stocks took a notable hit in the aftermath of the announcement. Traders are becoming more uneasy about the unpredictable nature of U.S. tariff policies, which have the potential to disrupt global supply chains and investor confidence.

标准普尔500指数（指数：SP500）也滑倒了，在宣布这一消息后，科技股很受欢迎。贸易商对美国关税政策的不可预测性质变得越来越不安，这有可能破坏全球供应链和投资者的信心。

U.S. stock futures slid on Friday after President Donald Trump announced plans to impose tariffs of up to 50% on all goods from the European Union and 25% on Apple products if the iPhone maker continues to assemble its devices in China.

在唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）总统宣布计划向欧盟所有商品征收高达50％的关税，如果iPhone Maker继续在中国组装其设备，则在欧盟所有商品上征收高达50％的关税，并将25％的苹果产品征收关税。

"This is classic FUD," one crypto analyst said, referencing the fear, uncertainty, and doubt that often drives sharp market reactions. "Just as things were stabilizing post-China tensions, we’re right back to uncertainty. People are hesitant to make bold moves right now. Many are simply holding and hoping for clarity."

一位加密分析师说：“这是经典的FUD。 “就像事情稳定了中国的紧张局势一样，我们现在就回到不确定性了。人们现在不愿立即做出大胆的动作。许多人只是坚持并希望清晰。”

The atmosphere today mirrors the worries evident in early April, when surging trade tensions made the cryptocurrency markets uneasy. From April 7 to 9, crypto traders experienced significant volatility as it was predominantly the talk of tariffs that was lighting up the headlines. This latest round of threats seems to have revived that same anxiety uptrend.

当今的气氛反映了4月初明显的担忧，当时贸易紧张局势使加密货币市场不安。从4月7日至9日，加密货币交易员经历了明显的波动，因为这主要是关税引起了头条新闻。最新一轮威胁似乎已经恢复了同样的焦虑上升趋势。

A Cautious Outlook Heading Into June

前往六月的谨慎观点

With the June 1st deadline for tariffs rapidly approaching, investors and traders in virtually all sectors are now battening down the hatches for what is expected to be a pretty significant volatility spike, especially if the U.S.-EU trade talks don’t manage to get off the ground. If the talks fail, that also opens the door for Apple to become the next poster child for the administration’s punitive tariff policy, a scenario that would truly rock the global tech supply chain.

随着6月1日的关税期限迅速接近，几乎所有部门的投资者和交易者现在都在为预期的波动性大幅度峰值而降低舱口，尤其是如果美国欧盟贸易谈判不设法摆脱困境。如果谈判失败了，那也为苹果成为政府惩罚性关税政策的下一个海报孩子打开了大门，这种情况将真正震撼全球技术供应链。

For traders in cryptocurrency, this situation showcases the broader truth that digital assets are not immune to the kinds of large-scale macroeconomic shifts that can happen to any nation or region. Though decentralized by design, the crypto market is more closely linked to the global financial system—and to the political decisions that impact the health of that system

对于加密货币的交易者来说，这种情况表明了更广泛的事实，即数字资产不能免疫任何国家或地区可能发生的大规模宏观经济转变。尽管通过设计分散，但加密市场与全球金融体系更加紧密联系，以及影响该系统健康的政治决策
