On April 3, Kimberly Clausing, a former Biden administration official and nonresident senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics, called Trumps tariff announcement on Wednesday "very stubborn and much worse than I expected." "I expected things to be bad, but I didnt expect this level of self-harm. Its shocking that anyone thought this was a good idea. Id be shocked if we can get through this without a recession and Trump doesnt have to reverse his policies."On April 3, some economists worry that if Trump does not quickly cancel the latest round of tariffs, it may push the US economy into a recession. "If the US government implements these higher tariffs without major exemptions, it will be difficult for the economy to digest this. A recession seems more likely." said Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moodys Analytics. Zandi said, "In many ways, the tariffs announced by Trump are even worse than the worst case scenario he envisioned. If they stick to it, I will buckle up and prepare for the impact." Zandi added that on a static basis, tariffs account for nearly 2% of GDP (not considering the impact of tariffs on the economy and taxes), which makes this round of tariffs the largest tax increase since the tax increase used to finance the war during World War II.German Automobile Industry Association VDA: The EU must now speed up and make up its mind on the issue of free trade agreement.On April 3, the Reserve Bank of Australias latest report for the banking industry warned that continued uncertainty in US trade policy "could have a chilling effect on business investment and household spending decisions, and pose a significant headwind to the outlook for global economic activity and inflation."

After the release of Japanese labor market data, the USD/JPY has fallen significantly. With today's trading, the asset dropped below the consolidation range it had been making between 138.62 and 138.85. Sharp losses are being seen in the major at 138.27, and if it manages to break through the key support level, we could see even lower prices.

 

The unemployment rate in Japan has been reported by the Japan Statistics Bureau to be 2.6%. Although the revised Jobs-to-Applications ratio of 1.29 is an increase from both earlier estimates and the prior release's 1.27, the difference is not statistically significant. In spite of this, there is no denying that employment data has stayed good, and yen bulls have been successful as a result.

 

US dollar index (DXY) is in a period of adjustment after hitting a 20-year high of 109.40 on Monday. Previous to this, the asset had been held by bulls in response to Federal Reserve (Fed) chief Jerome Powell's hawkish interest rate guidance preference despite a slowdown in US economic activity.

 

Since maintaining price stability is the Fed's primary concern, officials at the Jackson Hole Economic Symposium highlighted that the current interest rate hike cycle will likely continue. Inflation is at 8.5%, which means that households are being hit with the headwind of ever-increasing prices for consistently purchased goods. While a result, American businesses and consumers must remain patient as they await a revival of the economy.
