Donald Trump paused tariffs imposed on Canadian and Mexican imports two days after imposing 25% levies on its biggest trade partners’ products amid sanguine market reaction and resistance from trade partners. Beyond the politicians who refused to surrender, Walmart’s Chinese suppliers reportedly refused to take on a 10% price cut on their products while Europe is looking to replace Elon Musk’s Sta...

US President Donald Trump said that the tariffs that concern the North American car industry will be delayed by a month... a day after he imposed 25% levies on all Mexican and Canadian imports. Global markets welcomed Trump’s move to turn a threat into reality and then roll it back—arguably a better outcome than imposing and sticking to 25% tariffs. However, the uncertainty and lack of seriousness...

Trump’s tariffs went live yesterday, sending global markets—including the US indices—tumbling, until rumours of a potential rollback started circulating. High volatility is driving investors toward safe havens like bonds and gold, while the Trump-fueled rally in the US dollar index has already reversed. The DAX got hit by a hefty 3.50% selloff, the CAC 40 fell 1.85% while the Stoxx 600 tumbled mor...

Today marks a turning point in Donald Trump’s tariff policy. It is the day the tariff threat will materialize – unless there is a surprise U-turn – and hammer hopes that the aggressive tariff threats were not just a negotiation tactic. US stocks are sold on expectation that higher tariffs will boost inflation, prevent the Federal Reserve (Fed) from giving the necessary support and slow growth. The...

A clash between Trump and Zelensky and UK’s Starmer’s call for a ‘coalition of the willing’ is marking investor sentiment this Monday morning. Oil prices initially rose in early Asian trading amid concerns that the Trump-Zelensky conflict could delay any path to lasting peace. However, selling pressure outweighed geopolitical risk perception, as last Friday’s US economic data fueled concerns about...

Despite beating both revenue and earnings expectations and the forecasts for the current quarter, Nvidia got beaten by the market. The share price tanked 8.50% in yesterday’s post-earnings session and pulled the broader technology sector down with it. New tariff talk from Donald Trump weighed on the sentiment, as well, sending the US dollar higher, the European indices lower with the exception of...

Nvidia continues to do an amazing job. But the latest record-breaking results failed to impress investors. As such, Nvidia may not boost the market sentiment in the same way it boosted over the past two years after its results, but the AI mascot’s earnings will sure not harm the AI outlook, or be an additional drag. S&P500 and Nasdaq futures are up this morning. Let’s see if optimism could survive...

Yesterday was yet another ugly session for US stocks. The increasingly heavier weight of Trump talk, deteriorating relationships across the globe – except Russia – combined with higher inflation expectations on tariffs, the uptick in inflation and weakening expectations from US consumers are certainly to blame for the selloff in equities – that boost appetite in bonds, considered to be a safer inv...

The European stocks started the week near flat, while German companies gave back early gains, boosted by the idea – hope – that the new German government will relax spending rules and announce a special defence spending budget that could go up to 200bn euros to take its own security in its own hands for the first time since the WWII. Every penny spent on defence is one less penny spent elsewhere,...

The euro and the European equity futures are in the green this Monday morning on hope of higher spending by the new German government which could tackle the economic weakness of past years. Across the Atlantic, things were looking pretty bad last Friday. The US stocks were hit by an ugly selloff on weaker-than-expected economic data and exploding inflation expectations. In fact, the US 5-10 year c...

The US dollar is giving back gains despite the tariff talk, rate cuts in Australia and New Zealand and despite the hawkish Federal Reserve (Fed) minutes that hinted that the Fed officials are inclined to keep the rates unchanged until they see ‘further progress on inflation before making additional adjustments’. On the Chinese front, the news are surprisingly well. Not only that Xi Jinping met wit...

The US dollar extended gains and gold hit a fresh ATH fuelled by fresh tariff threats from Donald Trump. Worries in Chinese markets and rising geopolitical tensions support further gains despite all-time high levels. Elsewhere, the early moodiness due to Trump’s new tariff threats quickly waned. The euro and Loonie recovered losses against the greenback, while the stock markets in Europe gave a me...

In this special Market Talk episode, we break down candlesticks and their importance in trading. Candlesticks aren’t just price movements—they tell a story of market sentiment, reversals, and potential trends. While understanding candlestick formations can sharpen your market analysis, they’re not foolproof. The more traders react to patterns, the stronger the self-fulfilling prophecy effect. List...

The US is planning to impose tit-for-tat tariffs globally, but studying tariffs case by case requires time and the tariffs won’t be effective until April. I don’t know if you could call it good news, but the markets’ reaction suggests that the latter has been perceived as good news, and helped keeping appetite afloat yesterday. The US dollar index was sharply sold despite the broadening tariff war...

Yesterday’s inflation update from the US didn’t go well. January data showed a hotter-than-expected report across monthly and annual readings and all categories including food, energy and housing. As such, the Federal Reserve (Fed) rate cut expectations melted like snow under the sun after yesterday’s clear uptick in US inflation suggested that the Fed would better wait and see before doing anythi...

Federal Reserve (Fed) Chair Jerome Powell’s testimony yesterday went smoothly and in line with the previous remarks that the Fed is not in a hurry to cut the rates. All eyes are on today’s US inflation update. The US headline inflation is expected to steady near 2.9% y-o-y in January, core inflation may have eased from 3.2% to 3.1%. A set of softer-than-expected inflation numbers could help sooth...

Another week starts with tariff threats. This time, everyone that applies tariffs to the US will be hit back with the same tariffs, and all aluminium and steel imports to the US – no matter from whom – will face a 25% tariff. ;ood this Monday in Asia is pretty mixed – to say the least. Aluminum and iron ore futures are slightly down, the US dollar index is up and the commodity currencies like Auss...

Monday’s trade tensions have been gradually waning, last week’s DeepSeek shocker is also digested among global tech investors. Earnings continue to flow in, on the other hand, and reinforce the narrative – or the fear – of rising AI spending and slowing growth. In this context, Amazon – that reported its latest quarter results yesterday after the bell – was the latest to post better-than-expected...

Sentiment across Europe and the US improves on waning trade tensions with the US. Most major indices ended the session in the green, but gains in the US were questionable due to the underwhelming set of earnings from big companies including Google, AMD and Ford, and a better than expected ADP report. US yields fell and the dollar softened letting the euro and sterling recover recent losses. The sh...

The Chinese markets opened for the first time after a long Lunar New Year holiday, and they opened down on a set of weaker-than-expected PMI figures, on the news of 10% tariff on its exports toward Trump’s USA, and a further escalation of the trade war with the tit-for-tat measures announced yesterday from Beijing. Across the Pacific Ocean, Google hit a record high yesterday regardless of the Chin...

The news of a month of delay for the tariffs targeting Mexico landed soon after the US opening bell and similar news about Canada came in later in the day. On the European front, nothing more than increased threats and mounting tensions among politicians, with Brexited Britain spotted as one bright spot in Europe. On the Chinese front, Xi and Trump are set to discuss the 10% tariffs this week, but...
