L'or s'envole alors que les tensions tarifaires secouent les marchés

Synthèse du marché

Gold prices soared to record highs as U.S. President Donald Trump’s announcement of fresh steel and aluminum tariffs fueled trade war concerns. The 25% tariffs, set to take effect on March 4, targeted major exporters, including Canada, Mexico, and Germany, driving investors toward safe-haven assets. Meanwhile, the U.S. dollar defied trade uncertainty, strengthening as markets speculated that higher tariffs could provide short-term economic support despite rising inflation risks.

The euro remained under pressure as investors reacted to Trump’s tariffs on European steel and aluminum exports. Germany, a key exporter, faced added economic pressure, with potential for further trade restrictions exacerbating downside risks. Crude oil rebounded nearly 2% following a three-week decline, driven by bargain buying and technical corrections, though trade war fears continue to cloud the long-term outlook.

U.S. equity markets remained in consolidation as inflation and trade concerns limited upside momentum. Investors are now focused on upcoming U.S. inflation data and Fed Chair Powell’s speech, which could provide further clarity on the Federal Reserve’s policy direction. Meanwhile, Bitcoin remained in a consolidation phase, with market sentiment mixed amid speculation over Trump’s potential pro-crypto stance but lacking concrete policy details.
