The mention of finishing paperwork on deals means we should expect market-moving announcements in the coming weeks and months. This uncertainty signals to anticipate higher volatility in major stock indices. Looking back at the 2018-2019 trade disputes, similar announcements led to sharp, unpredictable swings, making long volatility strategies profitable.\n\nWe now have a clear formula that tariff levels are connected to trade deficits. The latest data released in July 2025 showed the U.S. trade deficit with the Eurozone widened by 4% year-over-year, making European exporters a likely target. This suggests traders should consider bearish derivative positions on European industrial stocks or buy puts on the Euro Stoxx 50 index.\n\nThe specific mention of a &#8220;challenging situation&#8221; with Switzerland puts the Swiss Franc and the Swiss Market Index (SMI) directly in focus. While the U.S. has historically run a goods trade surplus with Switzerland, which was over $22 billion in 2024, the issue likely involves non-tariff matters like currency value or financial services. With the Swiss Franc having already strengthened against the dollar by 2.5% since June 2025, we should anticipate potential actions aimed at weakening it.\n\n<h3>Focus On Targeted Volatility<\/h3>\n\nOur strategy for the coming weeks should therefore be centered on targeted volatility. This means using options to hedge against, or speculate on, policy announcements affecting specific regions. For instance, pairing a long volatility position on the S&#038;P 500 with a targeted short on the Swiss Franc could capture the dual impact of broad uncertainty and a specific diplomatic challenge.\n<p>\n\n<p><strong>\u0e40\u0e23\u0e34\u0e48\u0e21\u0e0b\u0e37\u0e49\u0e2d\u0e02\u0e32\u0e22\u0e17\u0e31\u0e19\u0e17\u0e35 &#8211; \u0e04\u0e25\u0e34\u0e01<a href=\"https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/th\/trade-now\/\">\u0e17\u0e35\u0e48\u0e19\u0e35\u0e48<\/a> \u0e40\u0e1e\u0e37\u0e48\u0e2d\u0e2a\u0e23\u0e49\u0e32\u0e07\u0e1a\u0e31\u0e0d\u0e0a\u0e35\u0e08\u0e23\u0e34\u0e07\u0e02\u0e2d\u0e07 VT Markets <\/strong> <\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:post-content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u0e40\u0e15\u0e23\u0e35\u0e22\u0e21\u0e15\u0e31\u0e27\u0e43\u0e2b\u0e49\u0e1e\u0e23\u0e49\u0e2d\u0e21!
