• Commodities: Gold (XAU) could face downward pressure due to a potentially stronger USD from debt reduction, but trade tensions (tariffs) could introduce uncertainty. Oil (WTI) could react to global trade sentiment as tariffs imply trade friction. Short-Term Watchlist: XAU/USD price action, headlines on trade negotiations. Medium-Term Focus: Inflation trends, USD trajectory.
• Currencies (Forex): The US Dollar Index (DXY) is likely to strengthen due to anticipated massive tariff income and significant national debt reduction, implying an improved fiscal position and potentially altered trade dynamics. Short-Term Watchlist: Treasury yields, global risk sentiment. Medium-Term Focus: Central bank divergence, global growth differentials, dollar liquidity cycles.
• Global Equities: US equities could see a mixed impact, with consumer sectors potentially benefiting from citizen payments and overall confidence from debt reduction, while tariff-sensitive sectors might face headwinds. Non-US equities, particularly in countries subject to tariffs, would likely face downward pressure. Short-Term Watchlist: Futures open, VIX spike/dip, FANG/semis/defense sectors. Medium-Term Focus: Earnings revisions, global capital flows, geopolitical overhangs.
• Fixed Income (Bonds): US 10Y and 2Y yields could initially fall due to the prospect of national debt reduction, signaling improved fiscal health. However, potential inflationary pressures from tariffs or increased consumer spending could put upward pressure on yields over time. Credit spreads might tighten if fiscal stability improves. Short-Term Watchlist: UST 10Y yield levels, TED spread. Medium-Term Focus: Fed dot plots, fiscal concerns, economic surprise indices.
• Volatility / Derivatives: The VIX could experience a spike due to the uncertainty surrounding the implementation and consequences of such large-scale fiscal and trade policies.

• Crypto / Digital Assets: Bitcoin (BTC) might behave mixed; potential USD strength and fiscal stability could reduce its appeal as a hedge against fiat instability, but if tariffs lead to broader global economic uncertainty or inflation, it could find support as a risk-on or alternative asset. Short-Term Watchlist: BTC/USD, Coinbase order book activity, funding rates, ETH correlation. Medium-Term Focus: Regulatory news, stablecoin flows, macro liquidity backdrop.
• Cross-Asset Correlations and Systemic Risk: Watch for potential breakdowns in normal correlations, such as a simultaneous sell-off in equities and bonds if global trade tensions escalate significantly. Signs of liquidity stress could emerge if foreign economies are severely impacted by tariffs. Short-Term Watchlist: MOVE index, junk bond ETFs, gold/USD co-movement. Medium-Term Focus: Shadow banking risk, central bank intervention, market plumbing stress.
