Key Events
Nikkei rises at the opening
The Japanese stock index has advanced by 1.9% following the opening of the Tokyo Stock Exchange this morning, as per Reuters reports.
Trump dismisses EU “Zero-Zero” tariff offer
The European Union stated on Monday that it had proposed “zero-zero” tariffs to the United States weeks before Trump announced new tariffs and had been negotiating with the administration.
However, Donald Trump indicated he was not inclined to accept the proposal, telling reporters no zero-zero tariffs would be enacted.
Trump mentioned that focusing on energy sales to the EU would be a priority for his administration as it aims to reduce the trade deficit with the bloc.
“The European Union has not been beneficial for us,” Trump said.
They will be required to purchase their energy from us due to necessity, and they will have to buy it from us. They could potentially save $350 billion in one week.
Summary of Opening
Greetings. Donald Trump wiped out previous trade tariffs following a significant drop in the Asian market yesterday.
Extreme fluctuations affected global stock markets on Monday. Wall Street alternated between gains and losses as Trump disregarded serious warnings that his international trade endeavors would result in extensive economic damage, equating new US tariffs to medicine.
Renewed relegation in stocks began in Asia and subsequently impacted European markets before reaching the US. It briefly reversed amidst hopes for a break but was quickly exacerbated when Trump threatened China with further steep tariffs, intensifying market pressures.
China stated on Monday that it would not succumb to threats after Trump pledged an additional 50% tariff on its goods if Beijing did not withdraw its intended retaliatory measures.
“We have reiterated multiple times that putting pressure or threatening China is not the appropriate way to engage us,” Liu Pengyu, a representative of the Chinese embassy in the US, told Agence-France Presse. “China will firmly protect its legitimate rights and interests.”
The US president later diminished hopes for further negotiations when he indicated to reporters in the Oval Office that he was not “looking” to pause tariffs for negotiation purposes.
During a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump was asked if tariffs were meant to last or be negotiable. Trump responded: “Both could be true; there could be permanent tariffs and negotiations.”
“There’s something more needed beyond tariffs, like open borders,” Trump insisted, again criticizing China, claiming “China is a closed country” imposing excessively high tariffs. He confirmed that discussions regarding the tariffs with Beijing were ongoing.
It appears today will be another tumultuous day in the markets. Stay tuned for the latest news, reactions, and analysis.
