Impact of Tariffs on Global Economy
The recent announcement of proposed tariffs by US President Donald Trump has raised significant concerns regarding its effects on global supply chains and economic growth across major economies. A 25% levy on imports of cars, semiconductors, and pharmaceuticals, effective April 2nd, could disrupt markets in countries such as Germany, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and India. Despite the potential risks, market reactions have been relatively muted, with both European and US stock indices reaching record highs. This phenomenon suggests that traders may be downplaying the immediate implications of these tariffs on the economy.
