The US President has made it clear there won’t be negotiations back and forth on tariffs, he’ll simply make the call. NAB’s Sally Auld says that accounts for most of the uncertainty in markets today, with big falls in equities again. The US dollar is weaker again, with the Aussie gaining some strength. The repricing in Asian markets, including the ‘violent repricing of the Taiwanese dollar’, will drag the Aussie higher in the process, says Sally. Today all eyes will be on the FOMC meeting, early tomorrow morning Australia time. It’ll be more about the words in the statement than the decision itself, which is firmly priced for a hold.
