CIO Series 21: Trump’s Reciprocal Tariffs and Their Market Implications

2 April is known as “Liberation Day,” when Trump is expected to launch a series of reciprocal tariffs to address trade imbalances and protect American industries. While many details remain unknown, these tariffs will likely set the tone for his trade policy throughout his presidency and have a profound impact on the global economy and financial markets.

We are offering an ad-hoc CIO Series webinar at 10 AM on 3 April to discuss potential market implications. Speakers include Paul DeVierno, our U.S. Market Strategist, and Tham Mun Hon, our Head of Greater China Research.
