2 w. ago The big lesson for Europe? Trump backed down under pressure | Alexander Hurst

The EU neither ‘kissed ass’ nor unleashed its most powerful trade weapon. Now it must provide the world with an alternative to US chaosMy condolences to everyone who spent days trying to play 5D chess with Donald Trump’s market-exploding tariff mess. Where Trump is involved, there is a cloud of malevolent chaos, and there is grift amid the chaos. What grandmasters there are to be found are almost certainly grandmasters of grift.When markets dump $10tn in three days and then gain trillions back in a single afternoon on the erratic decisions of one deeply corrupt person, you can be sure that a small number of people have made immense sums of money out of that volatility. Were the people responsible for abnormal spikes buying into the markets (including call options on various indexes and exchange-traded funds) on Wednesday morning – and again, 20 minutes before the tariff announcement went public – extraordinarily lucky?

2 w. ago China’s new tariffs on US goods to come into effect as Trump pauses measures for other countries – business live

China’s 84% retaliatory tariffs on US goods, announced on Wednesday, are due to come into effect on ThursdayRead the latest full reportIn a stunning U-turn, Trump has reversed high tariffs on most nations – at least for 90 days. But the focus is now on China, the second-biggest provider of US imports, of which the pause does not apply.Instead, Trump has raised tariffs on China to 125%, while China has announced new tariffs of 84% on all US imports, further escalating a high-stakes confrontation between the world’s two largest economies.For President Xi, there is only one politically viable response to Trump’s latest threat: Bring it on! Having already surprised domestic audiences with a forceful 34% reciprocal tariff, any appearance of backing down would be politically untenable,” says Diana Choyleva, founder and chief economist at Enodo Economics, a forecasting firm.”Global markets surged after Trump announced his 90-day tariff pause. The S&P 500 surged 5.6%, while the Nasdaq h...
