China's post-COVID reopening was seen as a potential tailwind for global growth when other economies were seen slowing thanks to tighter monetary and fiscal policy. The reality has been a bit less impressive, with Chinese growth still failing to launch. Yuting Shao from our Emerging Markets team updates us on China's progress, focusing on what further support is still to come and what it all means for the beleaguered CNY.

What's next for China?

Amidst rising tensions and trade tariffs, market discussion often lands on how rising costs of US imports will affect the American consumer, the US balance of trade, inflation and what it all means for the US dollar. The perspectives of the emerging markets as targets in a potential trade war often get overlooked. With a moratorium on tariffs on Mexico due to expire next week and further duties set to be imposed elsewhere over the next month, we refocus the lens on to the other side of the trade war - large exporters in the developing world who face unique challenges should tariffs on US imports spike. Ning Sun, our senior emerging market strategist in the Americas, joins the podcast for a wide ranging discussion of how risks might be avoided and where they still need to be priced.

The Other Side in the Trade War

Financial markets cannot get a break from headlines. The Trump Administration is rolling out – and in some cases rolling back – trade tariffs at a frenzied pace. Negotiations over peace in Ukraine are only just beginning, with the shape of a resolution anyone’s guess. Fiscal policy is also front and center for bonds, with curbing deficits looking increasingly difficult as defense spending needs and the desire for growth-based policies rise. Ennui prevails as markets seem unwilling or unable to price for higher risk premia. To make sense of it, Peter Vincent, head of FX trading for EMEA at State Street Global Markets, shares his thoughts, walking through the best opportunities on offer.
