Global markets — including crypto — are entering a high-sensitivity macro week following President Donald Trump’s announcement of a new 15% global tariff regime, alongside major corporate earnings and an unusually dense Federal Reserve speaker calendar.
The 15% global tariff took effect immediately, replacing prior trade mechanisms that were struck down by the Supreme Court last week. The abrupt implementation introduces uncertainty around supply chains, corporate margins and inflation expectations, variables that remain closely tied to the performance of risk assets, including cryptocurrencies.
Tuesday brings Consumer Confidence data and President Trump’s State of the Union address, both of which could influence market sentiment. On Wednesday, Nvidia is scheduled to report Q4 FY2026 earnings, with expectations of $1.52 in earnings per share and $65.56 billion in revenue. Given the central role of the AI sector in recent capital rotation, any earnings surprise could amplify volatility across equities and digital assets.
Thursday’s Initial Jobless Claims will offer insight into labor market resilience, while Friday’s January Producer Price Index (PPI), forecast at +0.3% month-on-month, will be closely watched for early signs of tariff-related cost pressures feeding into upstream inflation.
For crypto markets, the combination of active tariffs, pending inflation data, labor signals and critical AI-sector earnings represents a concentrated test of market resilience. A stronger inflation print paired with hawkish Fed rhetoric could pressure risk assets, while softer data may ease financial conditions and support broader risk sentiment.
