Carnage. Donald Trump kicked up a storm over the weekend by imposing tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China, effective as early as Tuesday. It goes without saying that financial markets have been going haywire since the announcement and as trading begins in earnest this morning things may escalate further. Mind the gap.
As expected, there has been an immediate reaction in currencies. The Dollar is currently on a rampage and is causing mayhem on the usual pairs; DXY up 1.2% at the time of writing. The Euro experienced a rude awakening this morning, opening with a huge gap to the downside near $1.02. Worth bearing in mind that Trump has also threatened the EU with similar tariffs. The Canadian Dollar took a predictable hammering this morning, USDCAD currently fighting to remain below 1.48.
Cryptocurrencies were similarly quick to respond, getting obliterated across the board. Bitcoin has been decimated over the weekend, suffering a solid 10% loss and plummeting to lows of $91k this morning. Needless to say, the reaction in the lower caps has been even more devastating. A sea of red.
As for precious metals, gold has retreated from recent all-time highs, falling to $2,775 this morning after seeing a record $2,817 an ounce on Friday.
A busy start to the week no doubt, but in all likelihood the drama is far from over. Manufacturing and services PMIs dominate the economic calendar early this week, after which the Bank of England will announce its latest interest rate decision on Thursday. It all culminates on Friday with the latest round of NFP data, but traders would do well to remember that geopolitical developments could steal the show at any time.
