(Reuters) -Donald Trump's plan to impose new 25% tariffs on steel and aluminium boosted share prices of U.S. producers in pre-market trading, while shares of producers abroad fell, with traders citing worries of disrupted flows and a reduction in demand. The tariffs, which Trump said would be announced on Monday and be in addition to existing duties, sparked warnings from Asia and Europe about the impact on prices, profitability and volumes and broader worries that they could push up inflation and drag on economic activity. Canada, Brazil, Mexico, South Korea and Vietnam are the biggest sellers of steel into the U.S., according to American Iron and Steel Institute data, while Canada is the dominant supplier of imported aluminium.

"Investors and short-term traders are now in flux in terms of playbook positioning as the global economy has not faced a stagflation environment in the last 15 years since the Great Financial Crisis of 2009."
The economy could be too strong for Trump's tariffs to derail the outlook for stocks, investors and economists told BI.
Even if tariffs ultimately aren’t imposed, the uncertainty and volatility caused by the threat of tariffs could prove costly.

Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) and Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) just picked up yet another reason that makes them worth a small investment of $1,000, even if you already hold some of each. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Jan. 30 approved the initial part of an application by Bitwise Asset Management to issue a combined Bitcoin and Ethereum exchange-traded fund (ETF), according to Bloomberg. Upon the announcement, the existing set of ETFs that hold either Bitcoin or Ethereum saw inflows of roughly $655 million in new cash, suggesting that there are institutional investors who see the combined ETF as a possibility that could send prices of both assets higher.
