Version 0.43 (2024-05-14 21:54:15.979000)

updates: The new tariffs will be phased in over the next three years, with some taking effect in 2024 and others in 2026. The tariffs on EVs from China will quadruple, from 25% to 100% this year. The tariffs on EV batteries may have a more immediate impact as China dominates mining and processing of critical minerals used in EV batteries. The price of solar panels may also rise due to the new tariffs. Tariffs on steel and aluminum products will triple in some cases, from the current range of zero to 7.5% to 25% in 2024. Tariffs on syringes, needles, and certain personal protective equipment will also increase. Critics argue that these tariffs could raise consumer prices and ultimately be detrimental to American businesses and consumers. They claim that the cost of these tariffs will be passed on to consumers, leading to higher prices for electric vehicles, solar panels, and medical equipment. The Chinese government has criticized the tariffs, calling them 'bullying' and warning that they will seriously affect the relationship with America.

Version 0.34 (2024-05-14 18:57:25.250000)

updates: The US government, under President Joe Biden, has announced steep tariff increases on Chinese imports, including electric vehicle (EV) batteries, computer chips, and medical products. The new measures affect $18 billion in imported Chinese goods, with the tariffs on EVs quadrupling to over 100% and the duties on semiconductor tariffs doubling to 50%. The move is part of Biden's efforts to address unfair competition and protect American workers, with the tariffs justified by U.S. Trade Representative Katherine Tai's claim that China is stealing U.S. intellectual property. The United States imported $427 billion in goods from China in 2023 and exported $148 billion to China. However, analysts warn that the trade tiff could raise costs for EVs and hinder Biden's climate goals and job creation. Biden has expressed his desire to win the competition with China without launching a trade war and has engaged in talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping. The tariff increases are in line with Trump's trade measures, but Biden criticized Trump's 2020 trade deal with China for failing to increase American exports or jobs. The new tariffs will be followed by more in 2025 and 2026 on semiconductors, lithium-ion batteries not used in EVs, graphite, permanent magnets, and rubber medical and surgical gloves. The White House has stated that the tariffs are a response to unfair policies and are intended to protect U.S. jobs. The US government's decision to quadruple tariffs on Chinese EVs from 25% to 100% has created uncertainty in South Korea's EV sector. South Korea relies on Chinese graphite for its EV batteries, and the increased tariffs on China-made electric vehicles could impact the country's EV industry. The South Korean industry ministry has announced financial aid of 9.7 trillion won ($7.11 billion) to support the country's EV sector in securing a self-sufficient supply chain. The ministry will also assist companies in meeting the US Treasury Department's requirements to receive tax credits, which include reducing the use of certain minerals in EV batteries by 2027. The new tariffs will come into effect 90 days from the announcement. It remains to be seen how China will respond and how the South Korean EV sector will navigate the uncertainty caused by these developments. [577edbb8] [b213462d]

updates: JPMorgan Chase's chief global equity strategist, Dubravko Lakos-Bujas, warns that an economic slowdown in 2024 will put pressure on corporate earnings and threaten stock prices. Lakos-Bujas believes that the market's expectation of a soft landing and 'Goldilocks' scenario is unrealistic. He points to rich valuations, crowded positioning, low volatility, and diminishing pricing power as factors that make stocks vulnerable. JPMorgan expects US corporate earnings to grow between 2% to 3% next year, below the consensus estimate. Lakos-Bujas recommends investing in defensive stocks like utilities to hedge against a recession.
