On April 26, according to the Wall Street Journal, in order to simplify the negotiations on reciprocal tariffs, US negotiating officials plan to use a new framework developed by the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR), which lists major categories of negotiations, such as tariffs and quotas, non-tariff trade barriers, digital trade, product origin principles, economic security and other commercial issues. In these categories, US officials will put forward specific requirements for individual countries, but people familiar with the matter emphasized that this document may also be adjusted at any time. People familiar with the matter said that the United States initial plan is to negotiate with 18 major trading partners in turn over the next two months. The initial plan is to alternately participate in the talks with six countries per week for three weeks (six countries in the first week, another six countries in the second week, and another six countries in the third week) until the deadline of July 8. If US President Trump does not extend the 90-day suspension period he set by then, those countries that cannot reach an agreement will begin to face reciprocal tariffs.On April 26, after the United States announced additional tariffs on goods from many countries, Peruvian business people expressed concerns that the US governments extreme measures would disrupt the global trade order and may even trigger a global economic recession.

This is the first time the Fed has conducted a semi-annual survey on financial risks since Trump returned to the White House. 73% of respondents said that global trade risks are their biggest concern, more than double the proportion reported in November. Half of the respondents believe that overall policy uncertainty is the most worrying issue, an increase from the same period last year. The survey also found that issues related to recent market turmoil have received more attention, with 27% of respondents worried about the functioning of the U.S. Treasury market, up from 17% last fall. Foreign withdrawals from U.S. assets and the value of the dollar have also risen on the list of concerns.

Because of bad news on Australian exports, the AUD/JPY has dropped to roughly 97.00

The Australian Bureau of Statistics' announcement of disappointing trade data has sent the AUD/JPY currency pair plunging. Since Australian exports have dropped so significantly, the cross has depreciated to around 97.00. Monthly export figures for the commodity-linked currency fell 9.9 percent, well below the expansion of 5.0 percent that had been predicted. There was also an increase of 5.2% in imports, up from 0.7% in the prior report. The Trade Balance is at $8,733m, down substantially from the forecasted $14,500m.

 

The Australian dollar has risen this week against the Japanese yen due to a number of factors. First, the Official Cash Rate (OCR) in Australia was raised to 2.85% by the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA), marking the fourth consecutive increase of 50 basis points. RBA Governor Philip Lowe has maintained the central bank's "restrictive" stance on interest rates since inflationary pressures in the Australian economy have not peaked.

 

The RBA included a strategy for bringing inflation down to target levels in its announced monetary policy. Advice on interest rates and inflationary pressures deserved rigorous scrutiny. OCE hike forecasted by RBA policymakers to 3.85%. Inflation will reach its highest point of about 7% before beginning to fall the following year. Naturally, this will deepen the existing gulf in policy stances between Australia's Reserve Bank and Japan's Bank of Japan (BOJ).

 

The next step is the release of conflicting GDP estimates. Australia's quarterly GDP came in at 0.9%, which was below expectations of 1% but higher than the prior announcement of 0.8%. The yearly figure, however, has increased to 3.6% from the estimated 3.5% and the prior print of 3.3%.

 

Optimistic GDP data in Japan have supported the bulls in the Tokyo currency market. When compared to forecasts of 2.9% and the prior figure of 2.2% on an annualized basis, the latest economic data shows a significant increase to 3.5%. Furthermore, quarterly data have been recorded at 0.9%, which is above both the 0.7% forecast and the 0.5% previous report.
