The fear of adverse events is often more serious than the event itself (e.g., going back to work after a holiday).

This is likely to be the case for President Donald Trump’s extensive tariff plan. Although Trump initially described it as a “reciprocal tariff,” it means the U.S. will match import taxes from other countries, the White House is reportedly considering a 20% fee for most goods and services. According to the Times of India, the number sounds high but is significantly lower than India’s tariffs on automatic imports – a tariff that can rise to 70% according to the Indian era.

Investor concerns were slightly alleviated by the news, boosting stocks. However, it is too early to keep your alert. The specific details of Trump’s plan are not yet clear. Uncertainty is Trump’s bargaining chip. He could release a more brutal tariff regime than expected.

Other times, experiencing bad things can be worse than being afraid of it (e.g., when your boss reveals a company-wide restructuring plan).

Stablecoin issuer circle files are IPOs when public markets open to cryptocurrencies

Circle, the company behind USDC Stablecoin, has applied for an initial public offering and plans to list on the New York Stock Exchange. JPMorgan Chase and Citigroup serve as responsible underwriters, and the company reportedly targets up to $5 billion. It will trade under the stock symbol CRCL.

It marks the second public attempt by Circle. Amid regulatory challenges, previous mergers with special purpose acquisition companies collapsed in late 2022.
