2025-03-15

by

In one sense, US President Donald Trump seemingly has a winning communication formula by calling for reciprocal tariffs. What that means is -- whatever tariff rates a country charges the US, the US will hit back with. That makes sense to most people but it begins to fall apart in practice.

2025-03-14

Overview: The US dollar is mixed but the risk-appetites are finishing the week on an update. In the foreign exchange market, this is reflected in the dollar-bloc currencies leading the G10 higher, with the yen and Swiss franc the laggards. Japan's spring wage negotiation round is producing solid preliminary results, but a new funding scandal may weaken the minority government led by Prime Minister Ishida.
