Daily News Updates:

U.S. Economic Outlook Deteriorates Amid Escalating Tariff War​

Economists have sharply downgraded U.S. growth forecasts, projecting just 0.8% GDP growth in Q4 2025—down from 2% in January. The probability of a recession within the next year has surged to 45%, driven by the Trump administration's aggressive tariff policies, including a 10% universal tariff and a 145% tariff on Chinese imports. These measures have disrupted supply chains, increased inflation expectations, and rattled financial markets. ​

Wall Street and Washington Rattled by 'Sell America' Trade​

President Trump's temporary pause on some tariffs provided brief relief to U.S. stock markets. However, ongoing trade tensions continue to unsettle investors, with concerns over declining confidence in the U.S. as a premier investment destination. The dollar and Treasurys have weakened concurrently—a rare and troubling signal. Speculation that foreign investors, notably from China and Japan, might be stepping back from U.S. bonds has exacerbated market unease.

​U.S. Companies Struggle as Chinese Suppliers Resist Price Cuts​

In response to substantial tariffs on Chinese goods, U.S. companies are pressuring Chinese suppliers to reduce prices to avoid passing increased costs onto consumers. However, Chinese manufacturers, already operating on thin margins, have little flexibility to lower prices further. Consequently, many U.S. companies have already raised retail prices, with the burden likely falling on consumers. ​

​Main Street America Feels the Pinch of Tariff Policies​

In Tomball, Texas, small businesses that once supported President Trump are now grappling with the economic fallout of his aggressive trade tariffs. Store owners reliant on imported goods face increased costs, leading to higher prices or halted shipments. Even staunch Trump supporters express concern over the volatile effects of the policies on their livelihoods.

Global Trade Dynamics Shift as Chinese Businesses Reevaluate U.S. Partnerships​

Amid escalating tariffs between the U.S. and China, Chinese businesses are reconsidering their trade futures with the U.S. After initial 10% tariffs, companies managed by offering discounts, but steep increases—including a 145% universal tariff from the Trump administration and a 125% retaliatory tariff from China—have led many to halt shipments and await leadership-level negotiations. Experts warn of a potential decoupling of the two economies if tariffs persist, disrupting long-established trade routes.

Global Leaders Advocate for Free Trade Amid U.S. Protectionism​

UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves has called for a global response to President Trump's sweeping tariffs, warning of their profound impact on the UK and global economies. Reeves advocates for a revamped, balanced global trade system that prioritizes free trade over protectionism and plans to promote this agenda at an upcoming International Monetary Fund meeting. The UK government has enacted emergency legislation to support British Steel and announced a £20bn expansion in export financing and loans for small businesses.
