šØ NEW EUāU.S. TENSION BREWING: POLAND TARGETS BIG TECH
Poland is moving forward with a Digital Services Tax that would hit large tech platforms with up to a 3% levy on ads, user data, and online transactions.
š Who it targets:
ā¢ Companies with ā¬1B+ global revenue
ā¢ At least 25M zlotys (~$7M) declared in Poland
U.S. companies are pushing back hard, warning the policy unfairly targets foreign investors. American firms have poured $60B into Poland, and this move is being seen as a break in long-standing trust.
ā ļø Why markets should care:
ā¢ Trump administration threatens retaliation
ā¢ Rising regulatory risk for global tech
ā¢ Potential pressure on U.S. equities, FX, and EU markets
This isnāt just policy ā itās macro friction turning into market volatility.
Smart traders watch regulation as closely as charts.
When politics shift, capital follows.
š Are you positioned for rising cross-border risk?
