Risk sentiment is on the floor this morning after Donald Trump imposed 25% tariff on most Mexican and Canadian imports and 10% tariff on Chinese imports which will take effect from tomorrow – a move, I believe, will certainly backfire and end up in tears for everyone. But it will first add volatility and chaos to the financial markets.
The first market reaction on Monday’s open is a swift move to the US dollar. The Mexican peso gap-opened at the lowest levels since March 2022 and the USDCAD jump-opened and flirted with the 1.48 level, the euro fell and crude...

The European Central Bank (ECB) cut the interest rates yesterday for the fifth time and voiced concerns about euro area growth and tariff threats.Trump renewed his pledge to impose 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico, sending the currencies of both countries lower against the US dollar.
Gold hit a fresh ATH yesterday, backed by a swift move to safety due to the Trump's tariff threats, the rising geopolitical tensions, the rising US government debt and the fear of a potential tech rout that could lead to a global risk selloff.
In the tech space, five days into the DeepSeek drama,...

Three of the Magnificent 7 companies – and ASML – released their Q4 earnings yesterday and the numbers were ... mixed but hinted at strong AI spending and increased competition with Meta aiming to bring its AI model to a bullion users this year.
In China, Alibaba stepped out of the darkness saying that it’s AI model is the greatest of the world and is performing better than Meta and DeepSeek. A giant like Alibaba should be taken as a bigger threat than DeepSeek as the company can back it up with real-world applications and wide adoption.
Zooming out, the...

The AI selloff reversed yesterday, Nvidia jumped nearly 9%. ASML this morning announced a set of better-than-expected results that could also help improve sentiment. But the news flow will be intense in the next hours and things could change rapidly. On the menu du jour, the Federal Reserve (Fed) is expected to announce no change to its rates later today, the Bank of Canada (BoC) is expected to cut its rate by 25bp, the European Central Bank (ECB) will probably do the same when it meets tomorrow.
On the earnings front, Meta, Microsoft and Tesla are due to announce their...

Monday was marked by a trillion dollar selloff in US equities – especially the AI-related names – and a swift flow toward safer assets. Nvidia printed its biggest one-day loss as Nasdaq 100 tanked 3% and nuclear stocks joined the rout.
But the selloff may have been exaggerated as there are many unanswered questions regarding the DeepSeek’s AI model, its capacity to rival US tech peers for global dominance and for industry’s future trends.

Last week wrapped up with a striking contrast: bullish momentum through most of the week gave way to a bearish close on Friday. A set of stronger-than-expected PMI data prompted investors to recalibrate their Federal Reserve (Fed) outlook, weighing stronger economic growth and the likelihood of a more hawkish Fed response.
A such, the Stoxx 600 retreated after hitting a fresh record. The S&P500 and Nasdaq traded lower as well, and futures, especially Nasdaq futures, are looking pretty bad this morning with a more than 2% slide at the time of writing hammered by the news that the Chinese startup...

US 2-year yield and crude oil fell, and the S&P500 extended gains to a fresh ATH yesterday, as US President Donald Trump said – in his virtual speech in Davos – that he would push for further interest rate cuts and ask OPEC to lower crude prices.
Chip stocks couldn’t fully benefit from yesterday’s rally as the Korean chipmaker SK Hynix cautioned that the 2025 memory demand outlook was uncertain due to inventory adjustments by PC and smartphone manufacturers, along with heightened trade protections and geopolitical risks.
But overall, the equity rally has further room to run on prospects of...

US equities were boosted by strong earnings and Trump’s AI push. Technology stocks led the rally, while Tesla fell on Elon Musk’s frustration over the closer relationship between Trump and OpenAI’s Sam Altman.
Elsewhere, P&G’s latest quarterly report showed that the company’s Q4 sales growth came from higher volumes and not from price hikes, giving hope regarding the US inflation dynamics. Unfortunately, that doesn’t erase the risk of rising inflationary pressures on Donald Trump’s pro-growth policies, his tax cut and mass deportation plans and the tariffs – which are all potential inflation-boosters.
In Europe, the Stoxx 600 advanced to a...
