President Donald Trump has pledged to implement even more aggressive trade measures following a significant legal setback in the US judicial system. The move comes after the US Supreme Court ruled that previous tariffs imposed under the justification of "national security" were unlawful. In a defiant response, Trump stated that the judicial decision would only lead to a more stringent protectionist agenda in the near future. Market analysts expect this escalation to reignite global trade tensions and trigger a shift toward risk-off assets. Trade-sensitive currencies such as the AUD and CNY are likely to face downward pressure, while the USD may see increased demand as a safe haven. Investors are now closely monitoring the potential impact of these developments on global equity markets and international supply chains.
