Extended read

The announcement of a 10-12.5% tariff floor on 60 countries represents a significant escalation in global trade friction. Unlike targeted tariffs, this broad approach will impact a wide array of consumer goods and industrial inputs. Coming alongside energy volatility, this policy shift increases the likelihood of 'sticky' inflation, potentially forcing the Fed to maintain higher rates despite slowing growth.
