Bitcoin is under pressure as the European Union races to finalize its trade deal with the United States by May 19. President Trump has threatened to increase tariffs on EU cars from 15% to 25%, potentially impacting US inflation and Federal Reserve policy. This could affect Bitcoin's market dynamics, given its correlation with US equity indices. The European Parliament has advanced legislation with conditions that some EU governments find restrictive, preferring faster implementation. If the tariff threat materializes, it could exacerbate inflation fears and weaken EU growth, creating a risk-off environment that may pressure Bitcoin. The upcoming US PCE inflation release on May 28 will be crucial in assessing the impact of these developments on the market.
