The tariff talk remains on the headlines as the Liberation Day approaches. Risk appetite is nowhere to be found, the US dollar is weak, gold continues to extend gains into uncharted territories and oil bulls remain unreactive to the news that Trump is pissed off with Putin for unveiling plans for the next Ukrainian leadership. Equities are under pressure, the US dollar reversed an attempt to rebou...

Sentiment remains sour due to intensifying tariff talk. Of course, the global ramifications are immense and the selloff is intense. And April 2nd – aka the Liberation Day – when the US is expected to announce its reciprocal tariffs is the next event to watch. It’s hard to be optimistic when we know that retaliation will emerge and uncertainties will continue with possible retaliation. Retaliation...

Sentiment soured for both US, European and Asian markets. The US tech stocks were particularly hit – without a new catalyser.

The bearish sentiment across the US equities is now expanding into the European equities....

The latest data from the Conference Board came to back the mounting concerns among Americans regarding the future of the economy and inflation. On the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, the German data tells the exact opposite: business optimism in Germany hit the highest levels since last summer as the massive government spending that the German government agreed to unlock brings hope across manuf...

The week started on quite a positive note on hope that the next wave of US tariffs – expected to hit the ground on April 2nd - would be more targeted and more measured than previously thought. But Trump still threatened to impose 25% levies on countries that buy oil from Venezuela. Crude oil, US equities and the US dollar gained, treasuries and gold sold off while European and Chinese indices post...

US equities saw a precious support from the Federal Reserve (Fed) last week, as policymakers decided to downplay the impact of tariffs on inflation by saying that it would be ‘transitory’ and slowed the pace of QT. US equities rebounded and the dollar recovered. The week will probably be heavy with tariff talk. The early-week echoes are positive with rumours that the upcoming tariffs would be more...

A big week of central bank decisions is coming to an end with the central bankers bathing in uncertainty of the tariffs and the economic implications of the rapidly escalating trade war. The US stock markets couldn’t extend the Fed optimism into a second session as FedEx – that’s results are seen as an indicator of economic health – lowered its profit forecast for the third straight quarter. The r...

US markets breathed a sigh a relief following the Federal Reserve (Fed) decision. The Fed kept its policy rate unchanged as expected, cut the growth forecast and lifted its inflation outlook quite notably but Chair Jerome Powell stressed out that the potential impact of tariffs on inflation would be ‘transitory’ – implying that the Fed could continue to ease policy to support growth. And more impo...

Nvidia yesterday revealed new products at the company’s annual GPI Technology Conference at San Jose but couldn’t reverse investors’ souring mood. Of course, it was not about Nvidia or the AI conviction, it was about the overall market mood that’s been souring due to a number of reasons including the tariff war, the high tech valuations, the rotation trade, the uncertain Federal Reserve (Fed) outl...

US equities recovered for the second session on Monday, after a 10% selloff brought the S&P500 to the limit of the correction zone last Thursday. But optimism looks vulnerable as the OECD lowered its growth forecasts on Monday, pointing at tariffs, the global trade restrictions and uncertainties as the main cause of slower global growth, and warned of higher inflation. The Federal Reserve (Fed) be...

A set of Chinese data released earlier today looked better-than-expected; the fixed asset investment unexpectedly accelerated in February, growth in industrial production slowed less than expected – a slowdown due to the Chinese new year break, while growth in retail sales accelerated to 4%, more than expected. The unemployment rate rose, however, and the worries regarding the property crisis and...

Yesterday brought yet another escalation in the trade war. This time, Trump was reportedly totally annoyed that the Europeans responded to his 25% steel and aluminium tariffs rather than backing down and slapped 200% tariffs on champagne, wine, and other alcoholic beverages from France and the EU. The stock selloff continued on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean: the S&P500 stepped in the correction...

The tariff hell broke lose yesterday after the US imposed 25% tariffs on all steel and aluminium imports triggering a swift response from the EU and Canada. The EU announced tariffs on around EUR 26bn worth of American goods, while Canadians slapped tariffs on CAD 30bn worth of US products. Voila, happy Thursday. Let’s see who blinks first. Happily though, the US inflation ease more than expected...

American and Canadian officials have spent the last few hours imposing tariffs on each other—only to roll them back —adding to the absurdity of the tariff situation. The problem is that this tariff charade has real-time consequences and that’s weighing on investor sentiment and pressuring market valuations. Market volatility is rising as visibility becomes cloudier by the day, any market rebound m...

It’s both nothing and everything at the same time that sent the markets to a dark hole on Monday. The stock markets across the globe were heavily hit by the fears that Trump trade and international policies would have a terrible economic and geopolitical fallout in the US and beyond its borders. The recession bets are rising by the day, the companies are giving murkier forecasts due to tariffs, th...

Last week was packed with tariff uncertainty and weak economic data. Friday’s jobs figures - the first set of jobs data of the new Trump era so far marked by mass firings at federal agencies - resulted in a weaker-than-expected NFP print, a higher-than-expected unemployment rate and a lower-than-expected participation rate. This week, the US CPI update will be closely watched. The rising inflation...
