President Donald Trump is set to unveil Wednesday a sweeping tariff plan—nicknamed "Liberation Day" by his team—that could lift U.S. trade duties to levels not seen in decades, disrupting global supply chains and jolting financial markets already<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/tariffs"> wary of geopolitical risk.</a>
In a report published Tuesday, the Washington Post reported that the White House has drafted a proposal to impose tariffs of around 20% on most of the $3 trillion in goods imported annually<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44585626/trump-aides-draft-sweeping-20-tariffs-on-at-least-most-imports-report"> into the U.S. </a>
The policy, expected to be revealed during a 3:00 p.m. ET Rose Garden ceremony on Wednesday, would introduce a new phase of economic nationalism centered around so-called "reciprocal" tariffs, where the U.S. imposes levies mirroring those of its trading partners.
 "The president will be announcing a tariff plan that will roll back the unfair trade practices that have been ripping off our country for decades," said White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt on Monday. "It's time for reciprocity."
These new tariffs are expected to generate between $600 billion and $1 trillion in revenue over the next year. That figure implies an effective average tariff rate of 18% to 30%, assuming import volumes remain stable. The average U.S. tariff rate today hovers around 2.5% to 3%.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/03/44575292/trump-to-target-dirty-15-countries-with-tariffs-which-countries-could-be-included">Trump To Target &#8216;Dirty 15&#8217; Countries With Tariffs: Which Countries Could Be Included?</a>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Goldman Raises Tariff Forecast Amid ‘Reciprocity' Rhetoric</h3>
Goldman Sachs economist Ronnie Walker said Tuesday his team now sees the average U.S. tariff rate rising by 15 percentage points in 2025, revising up their prior baseline by 5 points. 
That move reflects "a more aggressive assumption for ‘reciprocal' tariffs," Walker said, adding that while exclusions could lower the final effective rate, the initial hit could be massive.
According to Goldman Sachs, the Trump tariff framework is expected to focus primarily on countries running trade surpluses with the U.S., which collectively account for roughly 87% of all U.S. imports. Smaller nations and those with trade deficits would likely be exempt from the new duties.
While the headline reciprocal tariff may average around 15%, Goldman believes various country-specific and product-specific exclusions could increase the effective average tariff rate closer to 9 percentage points.
Under the current framework of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement, the impact is expected to be minimal for Canada and Mexico.
Goldman Sachs estimates that tariffs on goods from these two countries raise the effective average rate by only 0.6 percentage points due to widespread compliance with trade provisions.
In addition, Goldman anticipates that sector-specific tariffs—particularly those already imposed on auto, steel and aluminum—will likely be stacked on top of the broader reciprocal tariffs, compounding the overall trade burden across several industries.
Goldman believes the cumulative effect of all existing and proposed tariffs would raise the average effective tariff rate from about 3% to 18%, possibly even higher.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Markets Fly Blind Ahead Of April 2</h3>
For now, investors are in the dark. 
"The trouble is that there have been so many contradictory statements about what this may mean, that markets can't handicap the outcomes," said David Morrison, senior market analyst at Trade Nation.
"It seems increasingly plausible that Trump and his administration are also undecided. That means that trading the outcome is seat-of-the-pants stuff and somewhat foolhardy."
Analyst Ed Yardeni expects April 2 may not be the end of it. 
He said tariff announcements could continue in the months ahead as the U.S. negotiates country-by-country and adds sector-specific levies, potentially heightening the uncertainty for businesses and consumers long after the ceremonial event.
During Tuesday morning trading in New York, the S&amp;P 500 index — as tracked by SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) — rose 0.5%, after closing the quarter down by 4.7%.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Betting Markets Price In &#8216;Large&#8217; Tariffs </h3>
Traders in Kalshi&#8217;s prediction market are also betting on a significant tariff increase. The odds of the U.S. reaching an average weighted tariff of at least 6% by the fourth quarter of 2025 now sit at 76%.
<iframe loading="lazy" src="https://kalshi.com/external-widgets/events/KXLARGETARIFF/markets/KXLARGETARIFF?color_scheme=light&#038;widget_size=large&#038;utm_campaign=benzinga_widget" width="552px" height="400px" style="border:0"></iframe>
On bets targeting heavier tariffs against the European Union, a $100 wager on a 20%-29.99% tariff outcome would yield $272 if that range proves accurate.
<iframe loading="lazy" src="https://kalshi.com/external-widgets/events/KXEUTARIFFSIZE-25?color_scheme=light&#038;widget_size=large&#038;utm_campaign=benzinga_widget" width="552px" height="400px" style="border:0"></iframe>
As for the timing, speculators appear highly confident that the tariffs will take effect immediately, with a 98% probability before May.

Decoding Super Micro Computer's Options Activity: What's the Big Picture?

For many investors, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/01/43192678/30-year-old-little-late-to-the-party-asks-for-dividend-stocks-advice-on-reddit-8-stock-recommendatio">dividend stocks</a> are a great way to generate passive income while maintaining the possibility of capital growth. Dividend-focused stocks, ETFs, and funds yield periodic payouts, making them a favorite to those seeking regular cash flow, whether for retirement, extra income, or <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/03/44361602/jp-morgan-sees-slower-profit-growth-for-profrac-slashes-ebitda-projections-for-2025-2026">reinvestment</a>.
Funds, in particular, are a prominent option for investors because they offer diversification, reducing the risk linked to individual stocks. One Reddit user has shared on the online discussion board that he&#8217;s faced with a dilemma regarding his investments: what fund should he buy to generate the highest possible dollar amount of a dividend payment next month?
Don't Miss:
<ul>
<li>Inspired by Uber and Airbnb &#8211; Deloitte's fastest-growing software company is transforming 7 billion smartphones into income-generating assets &#8211; <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mode-mobile-2">with $1,000 you can invest at just $0.26/share!</a></li>
<li>If there was a new fund backed by Jeff Bezos offering a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/arrived-private-credit-fund">7-9% target yield with monthly dividends would you invest in it</a>?</li>
</ul>
The poster has $50,000 to invest and has little concern for long-term growth or stability. He wants a simple solution and is wondering if the Reddit community can point out a fund that meets his goal.
The community has provided insights for the investor, as well as mentions of possible solutions, so let&#8217;s dive deep into the comment section to see what the Redditors said.
Investor Wants His $50,000 in a Fund Generating the Highest Possible Dividend Amount by Next Month–Redditors Debate Best Options
YieldMax Funds Can be a Good Pick
Some users suggested YieldMax funds, which use covered call strategies on volatile stocks to yield massive monthly payouts, sometimes 90% to 120%.
&#8220;If you want degenerate, go all in on [YieldMax MSTR Option Income Strategy ETF (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/msty#NYSE">MSTY</a>)]. Anywhere from 90%-120% distribution is paid out monthly, and the fund manager YieldMax basically just does synthetic covered calls on [MicroStrategy (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/mstr#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>)] to generate the massive premium, holding U.S. Treasuries as collateral,&#8221; a comment reads.
"If all you care about is getting the highest possible dividend payment next month, you would go all-in on a YieldMax fund. Probably MSTY or [YieldMax NVDA Option Income Strategy ETF (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nvdy#NYSE">NVDY</a>)] or something like that. Mind you, that&#8217;s a horrible way to ‘invest' as it&#8217;s really just gambling. There&#8217;s no telling what a single stock will end up doing over the course of a month. The dividend payment might not even make up for the price depreciation, so you could end up negative for the month in total returns," this Redditor suggested.
Trending: BlackRock is calling 2025 the year of alternative assets. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">One firm from NYC has quietly built a group of 60,000+ investors who have all joined in on an alt asset class previously exclusive to billionaires like Bezos and Gates.</a>
This commenter also recommended YieldMax funds, mentioning three options he considers are good picks for the poster&#8217;s target.
&#8220;If it's just gambling on the next month&#8217;s highest yield, I'd easily go with YieldMax, something like [YieldMax PLTR Option Income Strategy ETF (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/plty#NYSE">PLTY</a>)], NVDY or MSTY or a mix of the three. Check which fund you believe more in and which yields are the highest and decide, but I think these three are among them,&#8221; he said.
Go for More Balanced But Still High-Yield Alternatives
Many users recommended the poster invest in covered call ETFs like JPMorgan Equity Premium Income ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JEPI#NYSE">JEPI</a>)​, NEOS S&amp;P 500 High Income ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPYI#NYSE">SPYI</a>) or NEOS Nasdaq-100 High Income ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQI#NASDAQ">QQQI</a>), which offer high yields with less extreme risk when compared to YieldMax funds.
&#8220;&#8216;Safest&#8217; I&#8217;d go with [0DTE S&amp;P 500 Covered Call Strategy ETF (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/xdte#NASDAQ">XDTE</a>)], the covered call fund based on the S&amp;P that pays around 25% weekly and has remained pretty surprisingly [net asset value] stable and in line with [SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/spy#NYSE">SPY</a>)] on total returns,&#8221; a commenter wrote.

A Redditor replied to the comment above, saying, &#8220;Still, I&#8217;d do JEPI, SPYI, or [Amplify CWP Enhanced Dividend Income ETF (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/divo#NYSE">DIVO</a>)] before XDTE.&#8221;
&#8220;Safer but still high? [JPMorgan Nasdaq Equity Premium Income ETF (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/jepq#NASDAQ">JEPQ</a>)​]/JEPI/SPYI/QQQI/[WisdomTree PutWrite Strategy Fund (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/putw#NYSE">PUTW</a>)]. Smart? [Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/schd#NYSE">SCHD</a>)],&#8221; a user said.
A commenter suggested an entirely different ETF, mentioning that while he&#8217;s also invested in high-yield assets, he keeps these allocations to a minimum.
&#8220;[REX FANG &amp; Innovation Equity Premium Income ETF (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/fepi#NYSE">FEPI</a>)] for that 30% yield, or SPYI, or QQQI. I only keep 1%-3% of my portfolio in yield traps just for the dividend boost to my portfolio. Overall, I&#8217;m happy with that,&#8221; he wrote.
