As of March 15, the Section 122 blanket tariff has been in effect for nearly three weeks (since Feb 24). Although 24 states filed a lawsuit in the Court of International Trade (CIT) on March 5 requesting expedited review, no Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) has been issued. Typically, if a court perceives immediate irreparable harm warranting intervention, a TRO is granted very shortly after filing. The lack of immediate judicial action suggests a preference for standard briefing schedules over emergency injunctions. With only 16 days remaining until March 31, and considering the government's ability to seek stays pending appeal, the probability of the judiciary effectively halting and operationalizing the removal of the tariff before the deadline is negligible. The market price (93.5c) is rational but slightly conservative.

If a 10% blanket tariff is actually implemented by late March 2026, it would be a major macroeconomic shock. This would directly raise import costs, potentially reigniting inflation (bearish for bonds, yields up), and inviting retaliation from trade partners, sparking global trade war fears (bearish for equities, especially large multinationals). The US Dollar Index (DXY) would likely surge due to safe-haven demand and expectations of the Fed keeping rates higher. For sectors reliant on imports or global supply chains (e.g., retail, tech), this is a significant negative event. Thus, correlation with major asset classes is extremely high.
