Market Volatility Surges: Impact of Tariffs and Employment Data on Bitcoin Amid Economic Uncertainty

COINOTAG News, March 31st. In the latest trading environment, both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 index futures witnessed a decline exceeding 0.5% in morning sessions. Traders are bracing for heightened volatility this week as President Trump prepares to unveil significant reciprocal tariffs on Wednesday. Concurrently, the highly anticipated US March ADP Employment Report is set for release, further intensifying market scrutiny. Additionally, Friday’s schedule includes the publication of crucial unemployment rate data and nonfarm payrolls, alongside a keynote from Federal Reserve Chair Powell. Chris Weston, Head of Research at Pepperstone, emphasizes that “market participants are acutely attuned to the influx of tariff-centric developments, particularly with regard to economic indicators that could signal a deepening slowdown and amplifying inflationary pressures. As a result, risk assets are expected to experience sustained downturns, contributing to elevated cross-asset volatility.”
