With the White House due to announce its long-awaited reciprocal tariffs plan on 2nd April – “Liberation Day,” according to Donald Trump – how will US trading partners fare as the president turns up the heat? Which of these economies are most vulnerable to higher trade barriers, how are they coping amid the uncertainty, and how will they respond to more punitive action? And what effect is this all having on financial markets?

Join economists from across our Macro and Markets teams for this special online briefing on Thursday 3rd April, at 09:00 BST/16:00 SGT all about how economies throughout Asia, Europe and the Americas are faring in the shadow of the Trump trade agenda. This 20-minute session is your opportunity to get answers to your questions from a panel of our senior economists as they address key issues, including: 

  • Which economies are most vulnerable – and which most resilient – to higher US tariffs;
  • How governments from Beijing to Brussels to Bogotá are responding as the Trump trade agenda unfolds;
  • How rising trade barriers are reshaping financial market returns.
