UBS’s punch line is: “Closing tariff gaps at the product-trading partner level amounts in tariff terms to a blanket tariff increase of 1.65% by the US. This is roughly an order of magnitude smaller than the 10% blanket tariff that candidate Trump was threatening to impose on the world.” So a reciprocal system, to be unveiled April 2, represents a major climbdown dealing with a problem that is not that serious. You can’t easily argue that it’s worth the uncertainty that it is creating. And if this is what indeed results, there’s no need for stocks to sell off like this. The market is, however, sending a clear message that it wants clarity on tariffs, and that it would prefer to do without them altogether. The question, growing ever clearer, is whether the Trump administration will stand up to the market.
