:uk: Britain in Talks to Avoid U.S. Tariffs :us:

Britain is working intensively with the U.S. to secure an exemption from the newly announced 25% tariff on imported vehicles. Finance Minister Rachel Reeves emphasized that the UK does not want to escalate trade tensions, as trade wars benefit no one.

:balance_scale: “An escalation would be bad for Britain, but also for the U.S.,” Reeves stated, reaffirming ongoing efforts to negotiate a fair deal.

:date: The tariffs take effect on April 3, adding to existing levies on steel, aluminium, and goods from various countries. Britain remains hopeful for a tech-led agreement that could mitigate the impact.

:chart_with_downwards_trend: US Tariffs: Economic Shock Incoming?

On April 2, the Trump administration announced sweeping new tariffs that far exceeded market expectations.

:small_red_triangle: Effective tariff rate on China has now reached 54% — some are calling this an act of economic warfare.

:chart_with_downwards_trend: What does this mean for the markets?

  • A sharp increase in the risk of a US recession
  • A potential short-term inflation spike
  • Strained relationships with US allies
  • Growing threats to the US dollar’s reserve currency status

:spiral_calendar: A universal 10% tariff goes into effect on April 5, followed by “reciprocal” tariffs on April 9, bringing the total tariff burden on Chinese goods to 54%.

:warning: While there’s room for negotiation, the policy uncertainty and rising economic nationalism could hit global markets hard.

:pushpin: This situation is evolving rapidly — stay alert for policy updates and market reactions.

:bar_chart: Is This the Last Dip in Inflation?

All eyes are on the March CPI report, dropping this Thursday at 8:30 AM ET — and it might be the last time we see inflation cooling down.

While prices are expected to have eased slightly (headline CPI at 2.5%, core CPI at 3.0%), the situation is shifting fast.

:boom: Trump’s tariff storm is hitting hard — including a 125% tariff on Chinese imports. Yes, there’s a 90-day pause on some tariffs, but the damage may already be underway.

:speech_balloon: Wells Fargo says March could be the low point for core inflation this year, with rising tariffs likely to push prices up again soon.

So what’s next? :orange_circle: Inflation might bounce back
:orange_circle: The Fed is staying cautious
:orange_circle: Volatility could return to both FX & bond markets

Stay sharp — the market’s mood may change real quick.
