In the last one month, the S&P 500 market has experienced a drop of 7.13%, and the cryptocurrency market a decline of 17.09%. The general belief is that US President Donald Trump Donald Trump Donald Trump is an American former president politician, businessman, and media personality, who served as the 45th president of the U.S. between 2017 to 2021. Trump earned a Bachelor of science in economics from the University of Pennsylvania in 1968.

Trump has remained a prominent figure in the Republican Party and is considered a likely candidate for the 2024 presidential election President decision to impose tariffs against China, Canada and Mexico has played a prominent role in the sudden collapse of these markets. A series of posts published by The Kobeissi Letter suggests that there exists another strong reason for the collapse of these markets. Read on for more details! 

Markets Have Lost $5.5 Trillion in Two Months 

On January 10, the total market cap of the crypto market was around $3.23T. On the same day, the S&P 500 index was at $5,828.54. Since then, the crypto market has slipped by at least 20.12%, and the S&P 500 by around 3.67%.

On February 20, the S&P market was at $6,133.58. Since then, the market has plummeted by approximately 8.46%. During the same period, the crypto market has slipped by no fewer than 18.86%.

Trade War Is Just a Scapegoat 

According to The Kobeissi Letter, the markets were already aware about the possibility for the occurrence of a trade war. The recent shift in market sentiment has played a crucial role in the collapse of the markets. 

As of now, the Crypto Fear $ Greed Index stands at 24. On the same day, a year before, the index was at 82. On November 22, 2024, it touched a peak of 94. On the first day of 2025, the index was at 66. On February 27, it dropped as low as 10. 

This sudden shift from extreme greed to extreme fear triggered the sell-offs in the markets, suggest experts.
