Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and XRP extended their slide Tuesday as renewed US–China tensions deepened market jitters, sending silver surging to a record high. Beijing announced sanctions on the US units of South Korean shipbuilder Hanwha Ocean and warned of further action against the maritime sector, escalating tensions between the world’s two largest economies and damping hopes of a near-term thaw. Global equities fell, and the fallout rippled through digital assets, triggering another wave of liquidations that pushed major tokens to multi-week lows.

Leading financial analyst and gold proponent Peter Schiff explained on X how China could easily crash the US dollar now. His bold statements come after China recently dumped $23 billion worth of US Treasuries and trimmed its dollar holdings. China held $1,350 billion worth of US Treasuries in 2012 and steadily cut the holdings for over a decade. It now holds only $760 billion worth of US Treasury bonds and is diversifying its reserves with gold.

Tesla (TSLA) stock is down during Friday’s trading session after the EV maker pulled the option to purchase select Tesla vehicles in China. Tesla removed the “order” button from its China website for the Model S sedan and Model X SUV. The EV maker updated its model lineup both in China and the US on Friday due to tariffs and demand issues. This week, China raised its tariffs on US imports to 125% from 84%. The hike comes as the two appear in a tariff standoff, with the latter also raising its tariffs against China but pausing tariffs against other countries. Tesla fell 3% on Saturday after rebounding slightly on Wednesday and Thursday. Chinese customers can still purchase the vehicles from the country’s existing inventory, however, Tesla has only sold around 2,000 Model S and Model X EVs in China. Tesla is up around 5% in the past week following Wednesday’s climb amid market volatility. The majority of the US stock market, especially top options like TSLA and NVDA, wer...

The White House has announced that an additional 104% tariff on China went into effect at noon on Tuesday, with collections of the tariff beginning April 9. US President Donald Trump threatened an additional tariff on China if Beijing didn’t remove its retaliatory duties on US exports. The latter brought its own 34% tariff increase on the United States in response to Trump’s tariff announcement last week. Since China has yet to lift its retaliatory tariffs, the White House has added an additional 104% tariff to Chinese imports. On Monday, Trump also said he’s currently “waiting” on a call from China to make a deal on trade and tariffs while touting that a delegation from South Korea was already headed to the U.S. to make a deal of its own. “China also wants to make a deal, badly, but they don’t know how to get it started,” Trump said in a post to Truth Social. “We are waiting for their call. It will happen!” JUST IN: White House say...

There is no doubt that US stocks have struggled throughout the year so far. Despite optimism brewing, geopolitical conflicts and economic uncertainty had driven a host of sell-offs. Yet, that may be set to change for one company as Apple (AAPL) has been lured by China, with the tech stock eyeing an increase to $250. According to a recent TipRanks report, China has highlighted flourishing “business opportunities” for both Apple and Pfizer (PFE). Indeed, the country is seeking to “win back their trust” amid the growing trade war it has brewing with the United States. That market could be monumental for the iPhone developer.

The US dollar has many foes, and it seems that the prominent ASEAN nation Malaysia has now joined the queue to echo the de-dollarization narrative.
