Trump's tariffs: Why did US President Donald Trump extend deadline for Japan, South Korea?
Trump tariffs: U.S. President Donald Trump has extended the deadline for tariffs on key trading partners, including Japan, South Korea, and Malaysia, until August 1, while imposing fresh tariffs in the range of 25% to 49%. The announcement has already led to volatility in stock markets across the globe, and its ripple effects are expected to affect investors in the weeks ahead. Japan's Nikkei added 0.3% and South Korea's KOSPI climbed 0.5% today. At the same time, Australia's stock index declined 0.5%, and Hong Kong's Hang Seng lost 0.7%. Back home, the Indian stock market traded in a narrow range, gyrating between gains and losses. With markets preparing for ongoing volatility, it's important for investors to grasp how this extension might influence their portfolios. 'The delay of the tariff deadline is more than just a temporary relief for trading partners, but it's also a signal that the trade war is far from over. Investors need to assess how global supply chains could be disrupted further and consider hedging strategies to protect their portfolios from potential market shocks,' said Fei Chen, Investment Strategist and Founder and CEO of Intellectia AI. Anuj Gupta, Director, Ya Wealth Research & Advisory, believes that Trump's tariff postponement indicates his intention to assess the growth prospects of the U.S. economy more closely. 'It also appears he is aiming to reduce market uncertainty before moving forward,' said Gupta. Gupta further said that following the recent conflict between Israel and Iran, Trump has slightly softened his previously aggressive stance, opting to delay the implementation of tariffs as part of a more cautious and measured approach. According to Sugandha Sachdev, VP, Religare Broking, the extension underscores Trump's preferred tactic: threaten maximal action, then retreat tactically if counterparties engage in 'good-faith' talks. Extending the deadline lets Washington convert this goodwill into concrete concessions rather than risk squandering it with a sudden tariff shock. "The objective remains unchanged, narrowing the trade deficit and reshoring production, but the White House is showing investors it can calibrate pressure without destabilising the recovery. The postponement is less a climb-down than a calculated move to lock in diplomatic wins, safeguard the domestic economy and coax trading partners toward concessions that make across-the-board tariffs unnecessary," Sachdev said. Sachdev further explained that markets should therefore view the delay as a pragmatic step that keeps the growth narrative intact while preserving Trump's leverage for the further negotiating rounds.

5 Ways To Beat Investment Anxiety For Good
Investment anxiety can be a silent dream-killer. Left unchecked, it can encourage regrettable ... More trading decisions or keep you out of the financial markets entirely. A recent study by financial analysis app maker Intellectia AI sought to score investor anxiety by analyzing the frequency of fear-based search terms like "market crash today" and "big sell-off." The report concluded that the investing outlook around the U.S. is cautious, with regional pockets of high anxiety. Investors in Oklahoma, Utah, Kentucky and Nevada are particularly stressed. Investment anxiety can be a silent dream-killer. Left unchecked, it can encourage regrettable trading decisions or keep you out of the financial markets entirely. Moving too quickly or too slowly with your investment plans can seriously challenge your ability to reach financial goals. The good news is, you can beat the anxiety—even as the S&P 500 shows its volatility and economic headlines share more bad news than good. Try these five strategies to restore calm and begin making real progress on your wealth-building agenda. 1. Commit To Indefinite Holding Periods Investment anxiety can come from the desire to control an uncontrollable situation. When your portfolio value falls, you naturally want to take action—perhaps by selling securities or cancelling your 401(k) contributions. Unfortunately, these actions are often counterproductive. Doing nothing is usually the better way to preserve long-term investment returns. For example, keeping your portfolio intact when the market is down positions you to benefit from future gains. And continuing to invest allows you to increase your share count at lower share prices. To begin building the discipline needed to do nothing when the market goes sideways, commit to holding your stocks indefinitely. This may require a different methodology for choosing stocks. For instance, you'd prioritize stable companies with savvy leaders who've proven their ability to manage through tough times. Or, you could implement a fund-based centered on the S&P 500 or a similarly respected benchmark. The goal is to own stocks or funds that are unlikely to be fundamentally and permanently changed by a downturn. When you know your portfolio is resilient, you can muster the confidence to hold when everyone else is selling. 2. Document Your Strategy Documenting your investing strategy can also quiet anxiety-producing thoughts. Look to make your investing as formulaic as possible. Write down how much you're investing, what you're buying and what factors could prompt different decisions. You can also document how you will handle a future market downturn. Then, support your strategy by automating your ongoing investments. Automation reinforces the habit of doing nothing, despite what is happening in the market. And, if you feel the urge to interfere with your automated investments, revisit your documented plan first. Remembering your confidence in the plan when you wrote it can help conquer the second-guessing later. 3. Disconnect Disconnecting from financial headlines is another powerful calming practice. You do not need to read every bit of bad news. Consider filtering any investing newsletters into a folder in your inbox and changing your browser's default homepage. These actions are appropriate if you are committed to indefinite holding periods. Under the buy-and-hold approach, economic and financial market headlines are less critical than if you were attempting to time the market. As long as you are confident your equities will survive a downturn, temporary and short-term volatility is mostly irrelevant. 4. Shift To An Income Portfolio Income portfolios can be less stressful to own than growth portfolios. Whether you prefer investment-grade debt securities or premium dividend-paying stocks, periodic payouts provide more reliable returns than capital gains potential. Debt securities and quality dividend payers also normally have less price volatility than growth stocks. Bond issues can rise when stock prices are falling. And many dividend stocks have built-in downside protection because they generate income in bear markets. The dividend payments may be the only upside equity investors experience when stock prices are falling. Logically, dividend payers can be an investor's last choice for liquidation. 5. Fill Your Downtime The same strategies for managing stress in other areas of life can also be effective against investing anxiety. You might take up a new hobby or try meditation. The goal is to limit the time you have to second-guess your investing decisions and search the internet for doomsday bear market predictions. The truth is, bear markets happen occasionally. If investing is part of your wealth plan, you cannot avoid them. Your best option is to adopt positive, healthy habits that promote calmness in the face of stock market turbulence. Learning this skill can directly benefit your long-term returns and help you reach your financial goals faster.

Analyst warns Elon Musk's favorite memecoin faces rough months ahead
On March 24, the price of Dogecoin recorded a spike of more than 7% within 24 hours. The meme coin was exchanging hands at $0.1843 at press time as per Kraken's price feeds. It had a market capitalization of over $27 billion. DOGE's 24-hour surge is the highest among the top 10 cryptocurrencies, barring Solana with an 8% surge. However, Intellectia AI founder and CEO Fei Chen cautioned traders that DOGE could face a tough time ahead during the second quarter of 2025. Chen said, "While technical analysis provides valuable insights, investors should not overlook external factors such as regulatory changes and macroeconomic conditions that can influence market dynamics." According to prediction, DOGE is expected to face a potential decline of -11.28% in the coming weeks that could push its price closer to the $0.155 range by early April. Chen, however, said that a predicted decline of 11% doesn't mean 'panic—it means plan.' He advised traders to use forecasts to guide strategy, 'not drive fear.' "Cryptocurrencies like Dogecoin offer exciting opportunities but come with significant risks. It's crucial for investors to balance their portfolios and not rely solely on speculative assets." Chen suggested diversifying their crypto portfolio or including 'stablecoins to hedge downturns.' Traders should also watch out for macro signals such as regulatory news and Bitcoin movements — factors technical patterns don't account for — that often trigger ripple effects in meme coins, advised Chen. DOGE is a pioneering meme coin that was launched in December 2013. Over the years, it has attracted the attention of several celebrities, including tycoon Elon Musk and rapper Snoop Dogg.

Analyst predicts bullish momentum for Shiba Inu, but Dogecoin may dip
Amidst the general slump in the crypto market, memecoins have rallied significantly over the last week. Both Dogecoin and Shiba Inu have surged over 18% over the last seven days. As per Kraken's price feeds, DOGE and SHIB were trading at $0.202 and $0.0000152 at press time. While the former recently surpassed Cardano (ADA) to become the 8th largest cryptocurrency with a market capitalization of $30 billion, the latter is the 17th largest cryptocurrency with a market cap of $9 billion. While the monthly price charts of both the meme coins nearly mirror each other, Intellectia AI — an artificial intelligence (AI)-driven financial intelligence platform — predicts diverging price actions for them during the upcoming month. The platform predicts that DOGE is expected to slip 11.28% to the $0.155 price range in early April. On the other hand, SHIB is expected to jump over 8.61% to hit the $0.0000143 mark in early April. Intellectia AI founder and CEO Fei Chen said, 'While Dogecoin continues to dominate in community activity, it's showing weaker short-term fundamentals. On the other hand, SHIB is demonstrating stronger technical signals, especially with utility growth via Shibarium and its DeFi ecosystem.' In fact, SHIB is at its highest price within a month, and its impressive burn rates have already created buzz. Other meme coins have also seen a reversal in their fortunes recently. Pepe has soared over 20% within a week to $0.058927. Bok has risen over 35% within a week to $0.00001479. Fartcoin and SPX6900 have surged 84% and 63% respectively and were trading at $0.6096 and $0.6468 at press time.
