Market flash: US customs tariffs are a floating threat to global trade
11/07/2025
• Washington sent letters to several countries announcing between 20-50% in tariffs and additional levies on products and goods that are re-exported to third countries as a way of sidestepping the increases.
• France set an ambitious target of 4.6% for the government deficit in 2026. Meanwhile, the UK is struggling with a weak economy but that will allow the Bank of England to cut rates.
• In China, consumer prices rose slightly but production prices continued to suffer from deflation.
