Switzerlands March CPI monthly rate will be released in ten minutes.Comprehensive tariffs and reciprocal tariffs 1. Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moodys: On a static basis, new tariff revenues account for nearly 2% of GDP (not considering the impact of tariffs on the economy and taxes), which makes this round of tax increases the largest since the tax increases used to finance the war during World War II. 2. JPMorgan Chase report: If these tariffs are fully implemented, the actual tariff rate in the United States may rise to 25%. This will affect about $3.3 trillion worth of imported goods. This years cumulative tariff increase should be regarded as a tax increase of about $660 billion, accounting for 2.2% of GDP, making it one of the largest tax increases in modern history. 3. Capital Economics: Trumps tariffs could generate up to $700 billion (or 2.3% of GDP) in revenue each year, the average import-weighted tariff rate will jump to 19.1%, and the effective tariff rate will rise from 2.3% to around 26%, reaching the highest level in 131 years. 4. CICC: If these tariffs are fully implemented, the effective tariff rate of the United States may rise sharply by 22.7 percentage points from 2.4% in 2024 to 25.1%, which will exceed the tariff level after the implementation of the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act in 1930. Tariffs may push up US PCE inflation by 1.9 percentage points and reduce real GDP growth by 1.3 percentage points, although it may also bring in more than $700 billion in fiscal revenue. 5. White House assistant Peter Navarro: Trumps tariffs may increase fiscal revenue by three times the scale of the World War II tax increase in 1942, which may become the largest tax increase in US history. 6. Trump himself said that some of the tariffs imposed this week could help the government raise more than $1 trillion in funds over the next year or so, help reduce the national debt, and may even offset some income taxes. Auto tariffs 1. White House Secretary Will Schaaf estimated that Trumps 25% tariff on cars and auto parts imported into the United States could increase "about $100 billion in new revenue." 2. Trump himself said that in a relatively short period of time, that is, one year from now, between $600 billion and $1 trillion would be raised. 3. The Yale Budget Lab, a think tank, estimates that auto tariffs could raise revenues of about $600 billion to $650 billion over 10 years, rather than in one year as Trump said, averaging $60 billion to $65 billion on an annual basis.UK Business Secretary: We have safeguards in place to ensure we are not overwhelmed by unwanted goods.British Business Secretary: We are very happy to engage in dialogue with any country to remove trade barriers.Traders increased bets on ECB easing, with expectations for 68 basis points of rate cuts this year.

The NZD/USD exchange rate is under pressure as investors anticipate crucial US developments

Beginning with a high of 0.6411 and a low of 0.6382, the NZD/USD exchange rate is down 0.25 percent, sliding from its previous high of 0.6411 to its previous low of 0.6382. To date, though, it has been the best-performing G10 currency month.

 

ANZ Bank analysts commented, "NZD seasonality is normally positive in December, but while it has that plus rising interest rates on its side, there are no guarantees that it will emerge undamaged from this week's several central bank meetings."

 

The Federal Open Market Committee is due to meet this week, and market participants anticipate a hawkish result. The US producer price index for November was somewhat higher than anticipated, bolstering the case for the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates in the future, albeit at a slower rate.

 

TD Securities analysts estimate that the FOMC will raise rates by 50 basis points at its meeting in December, putting the target range for the Fed funds rate to 4.25 percent to 4.50 percent. "By doing so, the Committee's inflation-adjusted monetary policy stance would move into the restrictive zone. In September, we think that the FOMC will indicate that they will have to shift to a higher-than-expected terminal rate.

 

ANZ Bank analysts stated, "Our key concern is what this may do to the USD, which has been under pressure as the "pivot" narrative has gained traction amid signs of ongoing US inflation."

 

"NZ variables will also play a role, with the HYEFU and GDP due this week," but they are likely to be overwhelmed (again!) by volatility and the global climate.

 

In other news, the US consumer inflation report on Tuesday will set the tone for markets prior to the Federal Reserve meeting. Economists forecast a fall in core inflation to 6.1% in November from 6.3% in October.
