Trade Wars and Economic Nationalism
Ongoing trade tensions, particularly between the US and China, continue to capture investor attention, highlighted by recent actions such as China's ban on Boeing planes and US restrictions on NVIDIA's microchip sales. The complexity of these trade negotiations is illustrated by the ambiguity surrounding US objectives, especially in discussions with the EU. Economic nationalism appears to be strengthening, focusing not only on trade balances but also on capital flows, as indicated by a slight weakening of the dollar amid these tensions. The importance of trade in the broader economic context is often overstated by politicians, emphasizing the necessity for a balanced understanding of its actual economic contributions.
