Following a brief period of market uncertainty, U.S. stocks and cryptocurrencies saw a dramatic rebound on Thursday after former President Trump announced a temporary pause on most international tariffs. This move has breathed new optimism into the markets, with investors particularly pleased by the prospect of eased trade tensions. 30% of countries are being given a tariff rate reduction to 10%, while China remains a focus point due to continued trade-related friction. As a result of this shift, stocks soared on Thursday for one of their biggest gains in recent months, and cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin also saw significant upward movement. XRP is experiencing a substantial price increase, climbing more than 12% to briefly touch the $2 mark before encountering resistance at the $2.14 – $2.15 range, with potential targets of $2.47 and $2.56 depending on future market direction.
