Global Finance Report Weekly Market Commentary
The 'Trade Wars' dominated the close of international markets for the week. Asian and European markets took major hits as the prospect of US Tariffs on exports sunk in. The imposition of tariffs will have a massive impact on Asian and European Exporters and markets reflected this.

He announced that 'Trade wars are good and easy to win'. The Dollar retreated, with the EUR jumping to 1.2320, while the Yen moved to 105.60. The coming week has important rate decisions from the ECB and The BOJ, which are likely to extend QE, although rhetoric will drive currencies. Global growth data and US Job reports will have a major impact on markets throughout the week. The trade wars are likely to dominate market conversations. ... read more |  |
