BREAKING: 🇺🇸 🇨🇳 US says it will impose 100% tariffs on China if China purchases Iranian oil.

Market impact

Why it matters: A 100% US tariff threat on China conditioned on Iranian oil purchases is a trade-war escalation risk that pressures China-exposed equities and adds a supply-disruption premium to oil, but it is a conditional threat/rhetoric rather than an enacted policy, so the read is muted.

At publish time: Headline names a specific 100% tariff figure tied to China and Iranian oil, a concrete trade/geopolitical trigger visible at publish time; but it is a conditional threat, not an implemented measure.
