Investors react to Trump’s new tariffs announcement
SHARE

President Donald Trump made a significant move on Thursday by signing an executive order imposing tariffs on U.S. imports from various countries and foreign locations. The tariffs ranged from 10% to 41% and were set at 25% for India’s exports to the U.S., 20% for Taiwan, and 30% for South Africa. Additionally, Trump increased tariffs on Canadian goods from 25% to 35%.

The news of these tariffs caused Asian stock markets, futures for U.S. stocks, and Europe to slip, highlighting the global impact of the decision. Experts weighed in on the implications of these tariffs on the economy and trade relationships.

Shoki Omori, Chief Desk Strategist at Mizuho Securities in Tokyo, noted that when Washington imposes or threatens to raise tariffs, global equity volatility tends to increase. He emphasized that rising volatility can drive demand for dollars, impacting trade volumes and capex plans.

Norihiro Yamaguchi, Lead Japan Economist at Oxford Economics in Tokyo, highlighted that some Asian countries will face relatively high tariffs, including India, Laos, and Vietnam. He also mentioned that Japanese companies need to adjust their business plans based on the assumption that current tariff rates will prevail.

Thomas Rupf, Chief Investment Officer at VP Bank in Singapore, expressed that while the latest tariff announcement offers some clarity, uncertainty still lingers. He emphasized the negative impact of trade conflicts and higher barriers to trade on global growth.

Prashant Bhayani, Chief Investment Officer at BNP Paribas Wealth Management in Singapore, pointed out the significant increase in average tariff rates and the importance of relative tariffs compared to competitors. He noted that trade diversion to other countries could occur if tariffs are substantially higher than those of competitors.

Vasu Menon, Managing Director of Investment Strategy at OCBC in Singapore, mentioned that while the announcement provides closure on country-based tariffs, uncertainty remains about sector-based tariffs. He emphasized the need for investors to monitor economic and earnings data to assess the impact of these tariffs.

Overall, experts agree that the tariffs imposed by President Trump will have far-reaching consequences on global trade and economic growth. The market reaction has been mixed, with some viewing the tariffs as within expectations while others express concerns about the long-term impact. As negotiations continue and tariffs potentially change, the global trade landscape remains uncertain.
