Esteemed traders of the global market, particularly those dabbling in the whimsical world of cryptocurrency, ought to prepare themselves for a tempest of volatility, as tariffs and inflation take the stage in a most dramatic fashion, as revealed by a recent survey conducted by the illustrious JPMorgan Chase.
It appears that the concerns of our dear traders have risen significantly, for last year, a mere 27% of respondents deemed inflation a matter of great import. How times do change! 😏
Tariffs To Stir Market Uncertainty, JP Morgan Survey Says
In a rather theatrical turn of events, our dear President Donald Trump has introduced a 25% tariff on imports from our neighbors to the south and north, and a 10% tariff on goods from the far east, only to retract some of these measures with the grace of a dancer who has lost their footing.
“…We further agreed to immediately pause the anticipated tariffs for one month…,” Trump revealed in a post, as if he were announcing a delightful soirée.
Before this pause, however, the tariffs had incited considerable market fluctuations, with stocks, currencies, and commodities responding as if they were caught in a tempest of policy announcements.
In light of this, an annual survey featuring the esteemed institutional trading clients of JPMorgan Chase has revealed that 51% of traders believe inflation and tariffs shall be the most influential factors in global markets for the year 2025. How very enlightening! 📈

Volatility Remains a Core Concern
JPMorgan’s survey has also identified market volatility as a challenge to keep a keen eye upon in 2025. Specifically, 41% of respondents have named it their primary concern, a notable increase from 28% in 2024. Unlike in previous years, when volatility was anticipated around key scheduled events, traders now find themselves at the mercy of sudden market swings, driven by unpredictable political and economic news. How utterly delightful! 🙄
“What distinguishes this year is the somewhat unexpected timing of volatility. Unlike in the past, when volatility was tied to scheduled events like elections or nonfarm payroll data, we’re seeing more sudden fluctuations in response to news headlines around the administration’s plans, leading to knee-jerk reactions in the marketplace,” reported Reuters, quoting Eddie Wen, global head of digital markets at JPMorgan.
Meanwhile, the broader financial markets are not the only ones reacting to Trump’s tariff policies. Bitcoin and the crypto sector have also felt the impact of these economic shifts. When Trump delayed tariffs on Canada and Mexico, the Coinbase Bitcoin premium index surged to a new 2025 high. How splendid! 🎉
Likewise, the news triggered a rebound in Bitcoin prices, as traders interpreted the delay as a sign of potential economic stability. Additionally, when the US paused tariffs on Mexico, XRP saw a significant recovery, highlighting the direct influence of trade policies on the digital asset market. How very interconnected! 🌐
However, China’s retaliation to Trump’s tariffs introduced fresh instability, further exacerbating market fluctuations. Oh, the drama! 🎭
“[Ethereum would fall] Back to 2200-2400 if China trade war is real,” crypto analyst Andrew Kang wrote, as if predicting the weather.
