Markets Remain Unsettled Despite the US Postponement of the Reciprocal Tariffs

2025-04-10

by

2025-04-10

Overview: A couple of hours before the US announced a postponement in the reciprocal tariffs on everyone but China, President Trump sent social media message encouraging people to buy stocks. And the postponement sent US equities soaring, but it does not set right with many observers. In fact, the US hiked the tariff on China further, and the net result is that the average effective tariff in the US is now 24% rather than 27% as it would have been...

2025-04-08

(traveling; no commentary tomorrow)Overview: The dramatic price action in throughout the capital markets after last week's US tariff announcements, China's retaliation, and yesterday's US threat of another 50% tariff on China has calmed today, in a nervous way. Indeed, the calm could be shattered by one comment or social media post by the US President. Japan pushed back against some of "facts" the US cited, like the tariff Japan puts on...

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

2025-04-05

by

2025-04-05

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...
