US Treasury secretary signals 15% tariff rate to take effect this week

US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen indicated that a 15% tariff rate is likely to enter force this week, with rates expected to revert to previous levels in approximately 5 months. During the 150-day tariff period, additional Section 301 and Section 232 trade studies will be conducted. The tariff announcement could influence market sentiment and investor positioning in risk assets, including cryptocurrencies, as trade policy uncertainty typically affects broader financial markets.
