Trump’s Tariff Shock: How Brazil, Argentina & Uruguay May Cash In

Former President Trump’s tariff policies are reshaping global trade dynamics, with South American economies poised to capitalize. Brazil, Argentina, and Uruguay face just 10% tariffs compared to China’s punitive rates, creating a rare arbitrage opportunity in agricultural and industrial exports.

As supply chains reconfigure, these nations could gain market share in both U.S. and Chinese markets. The trade diversion effect mirrors historical patterns seen during previous U.S.-China tensions, where secondary exporters benefited from geopolitical friction.

Commodity-linked cryptocurrencies like FIL (Filecoin) and DYM (Dymension) may see indirect effects as trade flows shift. Exchange platforms like Binance and Coinbase typically mirror such macroeconomic trends through altcoin volatility.
