The Week Ahead: Trade War and Price Action are More Important than US and China’s CPI

April 2, what President Trump called, "Liberation Day" will indeed go down in history. The markets quaked. A trade war with China escalated as Beijing took strong retaliatory measures, with not only a sharp rise in its tariff on US imports but imposed (more) restrictions on rare earth exports. Canada and Mexico were spared the "reciprocal tariffs,” but both made clear declarations of intent to diversify their trade and economic...

Friday: Tariffs, US Jobs, Powell, and Melting Equities

Overview:  There appear to be two-forces at work that has helped the US dollar recover. First, as the market continues to debate whether the reciprocal tariffs are a negotiating ploy and in this tug-of-war of sorts, President Trump's declaration that he is open to "phenomenal offers" plays into that view. Still, the fact that Israel got rid of all of its tariffs on the US and still was hit with a 17% levy is notable. Second, there may be...

The Day After

Overview: Little would one know from looking at the US economic outperformance and the record-high household net worth, but the US President said that global trade has “looted, pillaged, raped, and plundered” the US economy. Rather than some sophisticated analysis to measure trade and non-trade barriers as the President Trump suggested, the so-called "kind reciprocity," appears to be a simple function of US imports as a percentage of the...

EURJPY’s uptrend could resume | market outlook: forex trading | 01.04.2025

Euro-yen's overall uptrend from March might continue this month, but some sort of confirmation on the chart would help to give this idea a greater probability of success. The commitment of traders for CME's futures on the yen shows a new record low net position of commercial traders, which would usually suggest losses by the currency to come. It also appears that inflation in Japan might have peaked for now while expectations for the Bank of Japan...

Liberation Day from the Multilateral World Our Parents, Grandparents, and Great Grandparents Created

Overview:   The trepidation over today's US tariff announcement has been underscored by reports that even as late as yesterday, a final decision had not been made. Given the complexity of different tariff schedule formulations, and the desire to implement the new regime immediately seem to favor a simply across the board levy or maybe two categories, a high one and low one. In terms of allocation of power, Treasury Secretary Bessent and his...

Dollar Consolidates, Bonds Rally, Stocks Recover, and Gold Extends Gains Ahead of Tomorrow’s US Tariff Announcement

Overview:  Ahead of tomorrow's US tariff announcement, which reports suggest the administration is still debating key elements, the US dollar is mostly consolidating inside yesterday's ranges. The news stream has been limited to the largely as expected Japanese Tankan survey, which did not appear to impact BOJ expectations and the unsurprising decision by the Reserve Bank of Australia to stand pat after initiating an easing cycle at its last...

April 2025 Monthly

The world is different. After a four-year restoration of the traditional globalist US elite, a majority of the American electorate seems to have rejected it. President Trump is indeed a transformational president, and his reversal of many traditional elements of US domestic and foreign policy are triggering dramatic action in other parts of the world. Many Americans and European had been critical of Germany's self-imposed fiscal strait jacket   In...
