The new US President has assumed office on 20th Jan 2025 and the important announcement from his initial set up is on changes on Tariffs on imports specifically from Mexico and Canada. This has been a talking point since the election results were announced. So let's have a close look at how these events impact the Prop Trading Firms and the traders.
As the actions from the government start rolling out and information is processed the volatility in markets will remain on a higher level. As a proprietary trader, one must keep the risk management levels in a favorable condition. Do the market research right, avoid overtrading and seek the advice of a trading coach if needed. Volatile markets provide good opportunities for entry and exit at a preferred price for a trader.
Now the whole focus will be to make the US more economically stronger and this will help in further strengthening the dollar. With increase in global currency ranking the impact on major forex pairs shall be significant. As a Prop Trading strategy, always keep a close eye on the moves by the new government and its long term impact on the import and export by different countries.
With a clear indication of tariff on imports from Canada and Mexico, the impact on these forex pairs is inevitable. These forex currency pairs will not only see pressure, their economies will impact and in turn the demand and supply. Traditionally USD has been a driving factor of CAD and Peso hence the domestic economic conditions will be severely impacted.
The tariff implementation is a double edged sword and will have an impact on US GDP as well. These tariffs may help the government earn more but will be driving inflation northward. The Fed will keep a close eye on the inflation numbers once the tariffs are decided and in turn will drive the interest rates. As per the last update Fed will try to keep interest rates stable in 2025. This will have a cascading effect on the US firms that are exporting to other countries and their currency demand.
With the new regime a revised trade agreement will be enforced between Canada, Mexico and the US companies. For years their domestic economies have been dependent on each other and may lead to straining of relationships between these countries. While Canada is battling with political instability on the back resignation of Mr. Trudeau, they now have to pick a new regime of US trade changes. These conditions will further trickle down to the US economy as well since they depend on lot imports from these two countries.
From a Prop Trading Strategy perspective, Forex, Commodities and Crypto markets will be reacting in a volatile manner to these changes. The impact on the Asian and European Markets is visible with a volatile situation and Cryptos in particular have been left out in the early speech of Mr. Trump creating further stress on traders for a while. Though the long term story of good domestic consumption still looks intact and pro US policies will support the Crypto ETF supposedly with new faces in CFTC Caroline D. Pham and Jerome Powell at Fed will be closely monitoring the situation. The Bitcoin ETF will play a crucial role in the current situation and not to mention the prices of DOGE will be an interesting area to watch out for. The prop trading challenges allow you access the market and take advantage of the leverage and technology that is being provided by them. Finally for a good prop trading structure, prepare a good training plan, carefully study the market, have a strong risk management in place till the time the whole situation is stabilized.
