As I look at the tariff deal deadline set by Trump approaching on July 9, I am relieved to know that he confirmed the tariffs will officially take effect on August 1, not July 9. This gives me a bit more breathing room to assess the situation. I am also glad to see that the United Kingdom and Vietnam have managed to reach agreements with the United States to avoid the tariffs, though it is concerning that no other countries have secured similar deals yet.

With the deadline hitting this week, I am wondering if other countries can strike a deal with Trump as he wishes. It is hard to predict how flexible he might be, but I am keeping an eye on any last-minute negotiations. As for the markets, I am curious about how they will move this week. With them sitting near their highs, I am a bit worried that another surprise move from Trump could trigger a pullback, and I am trying to stay prepared for that possibility.

I have not fully hedged and protected my assets yet, but I am considering my options as this situation unfolds. The uncertainty around these tariffs and potential market shifts has me thinking about taking some protective measures, though I will need to do more research before making any firm decisions.

I feel the pressure mounting as the week progresses. The next few days could bring some clarity on whether other countries will negotiate deals, and I am planning to monitor the news closely to see how it impacts market sentiment. I am particularly interested in how Asian markets might react first, given the time zone advantage.

I am also reflecting on the broader implications of these tariffs. If Trump's next move catches everyone off guard, it could shake investor confidence, and I would rather be safe than sorry. I am thinking about consulting with a financial advisor to ensure my assets are well-protected, especially if the markets do experience a pullback as some fear. For now, I will keep a close watch and adjust my strategy as needed.
