Episode notes
Tariffs Drive Inflation Concerns
- Tariffs lead to higher consumer prices, which the Federal Reserve watches closely for inflation.
- Increased prices from tariffs likely delay any Federal Reserve rate cuts, sustaining inflationary pressure.
Global Inflation From Trade Segmentation
- Global bond markets in developed countries reflect similar concerns about inflation due to trade segmentation.
- Trade frictions and segmentation increase costs globally, pushing inflation higher and affecting bond yields.
Dollar Weakness Will Persist
- The U.S. dollar is trending weaker and is expected to continue despite higher tariffs.
- This weakening is partly desired by the administration and reflects longer market trends beyond tariffs.
