Dollar Jumps as Trump Plans Mexico, Canada Tariffs: Markets Wrap

 


  • Tariff respite was short lived, as some expected
  • Asian stocks trim earlier gains after Trump’s tariff comments

The dollar rallied and Asian stocks trimmed their opening gains after US President Donald Trump said he was considering enacting previously threatened tariffs on Canada and Mexico starting next month.

The US currency strengthened against all its Group-of-10 peers except the yen and Treasuries rose after Trump said he was planning to implement tariffs of as much as 25% on Mexico and Canada by Feb. 1. Chinese markets were whipsawed after the president opted against announcing any new Chinese tariffs on his first day in office. US stock futures were little changed.
