Tariff Uncertainty Weighs on Markets and US Consumption

The dollar remains firmly on the offensive after Donald Trump reiterated his threat to impose near-universal 25 percent tariffs on Canada and Mexico as soon as next week. Ten-year Treasury yields are trading close to the 4.25 percent threshold after having lost almost 35 basis points since the middle of the month, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq stock indices have given back all of this year’s gains, and a sense of caution is gripping currency markets as a range of indicators point to an uncertainty-driven slowdown in the world’s largest economy—and in the countries that it trades with. The US...

Mexican Peso, Canadian Dollar, and Chinese Yuan Fall As Trump Renews Tariff Threats

The Mexican peso, Canadian dollar, and Chinese yuan are dropping after Donald Trump renewed tariff threats against the three countries, clarifying (and contradicting) comments made ahead of yesterday’s cabinet meeting. In a post on his social media platform, Truth Social, the president said “Drugs are still pouring into our Country from Mexico and Canada at very high and unacceptable levels. A large percentage of these Drugs, much of them in the form of Fentanyl, are made in, and supplied by, China. More than 100,000 people died last year due to the distribution of these dangerous and highly addictive POISONS. Millions...

Tariff Confusion Leaves Currency Markets Rudderless

The US dollar is inching higher against most of its rivals—with the exception of the safe-haven Swiss franc—as investors monitor signs of an impending economic slowdown amid deepening uncertainty over the Trump administration’s tariff plans. Benchmark ten-year Treasury yields are holding just below the 4.3-percent threshold after fully unwinding their post-election gains, North American equity futures are setting up for an almost-unchanged open, and foreign exchange rates are displaying signs of broad-based risk aversion. The Canadian dollar and Mexican peso are almost unchanged after President Trump appeared to say that levies on the two countries would take effect on April...

Markets Stabilise Even As Economic Pessimism Grows

Markets are finding a firmer footing this morning after intensifying worries about the US economy’s trajectory weakened the dollar and drove yields and equity bourses lower in yesterday’s session. Today’s data calendar looks relatively quiet, but this afternoon’s Nvidia’s earnings release could move markets, and political developments will continue to occupy centre stage. A widely-watched measure of consumer confidence dropped at the fastest monthly rate since August 2021 earlier this month, suggesting that uncertainty about the Trump administration’s policies is contributing to a rising sense of alarm among Americans. Data released yesterday morning showed the Conference Board’s confidence index sliding...

New Tariff Threats Add to Unease

The US dollar is up only slightly against its peers this morning after Donald Trump said tariffs on Canada and Mexico are “going forward on time, on schedule”. Speaking with reporters after yesterday afternoon’s meeting with French president Emmanuel Macron, Trump claimed the United States had been “led, in some cases, by fools,” saying “I look at some of these [trade] agreements, I’d read them at night and I’d say, ’Who would ever sign a thing like this?’ So the tariffs will go forward, yes, and we’re going to make up a lot of territory… Our country will be extremely...
