It is already already seen in crypto after a report of hope on a price delay was refuted by the White House.
To revise, President Trump promised Thursday to impose 25% of prices in Mexico and Canada from Saturday, February 1. After joining over $ 106,000 before this news, Bitcoin (BTC) quickly reversed 2% less than the level of $ 104,000. American actions have given up a piece of previous gains, but have always finished the green session.
Friday, then presented a Reuters report, suggesting that the prices would be delayed until March 1 when a process was set up to allow countries to request exemptions for certain exports.
The White House, however, called this “false” report, with Trump’s press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, a few minutes ago by telling journalists prices – including a 10% tax on China – will enter into vigor tomorrow.
Similar to Thursday, Bitcoin had exceeded the most $ 106,000 and seemed to be challenged by a new record greater than $ 109,000. The new prices, however, have once again sent down prices, with an exchange of bitcoin just below $ 103,000 at the time of the press, down 2.3% in the last 24 hours.
The Coindesk 20 index wider was down 1.3% compared to the same period of time, mainly surpassed due to the 1.2% Ether (ETH) advance.
A verification of traditional markets finds that American actions are still modestly higher, but outside their best levels of the session.
