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...

Dollar Retreats as ‘Tariff Exhaustion’ Kicks In, and Retail Sales Slump

The dollar is trading near a two-month low this morning after Donald Trump delivered a long-threatened “reciprocal” tariff plan that was distinctly short on tradeable detail. In an extensively-teased announcement from the Oval Office, the president signed a memo directing federal agencies to investigate raising import taxes on shipments from countries with “unfair” economic barriers in place against US exports—things like tariffs, regulations, subsidies, manipulated exchange rates, and domestic value-added taxes—but stopped short of imposing any deadlines or naming the product categories and countries that could be targeted. “On trade, I have decided, for purposes of fairness, that I will...

Markets Look Through Renewed Tariff Threats

The dollar is up modestly against its major rivals after Donald Trump verbally threatened to increase tariffs for the third weekend in a row. In a press briefing conducted on Air Force One ahead of yesterday’s Super Bowl, the president told reporters that he would unveil new reciprocal tariffs—levies designed to match foreign protectionist measures—in the coming days, and will impose 25 percent tariffs on steel and aluminum products from all US trading partners today. Reciprocal tariffs—which are designed to match protectionist measures in other countries—are generally well supported on both sides of the aisle, and are not terribly impactful...
