The Trump administration’s tariff announcements in the first week of April triggered the worst turmoil in global markets since the pandemic. As EPFR’s data and charts show, fund flows were lively, too – and sometimes in unexpected ways. In developed markets, investors reacted by initially fleeing US equity funds – and then appeared to be “buying the dip.” Meanwhile, developed market bond funds did not benefit from the turmoil and tumbled over the course of the week as well. In emerging markets, it appears investors saw the market selloff as an opportunity to deploy money to Asian equity and bond funds. Chinese ETF purchases were likely a factor. #LiberationDay #tariffs

Investors have been fleeing funds that track copper and crude oil, according to EPFR's Alternatives database. Amid the recent market turmoil, the outflows from copper funds are especially pronounced. These funds have experienced consecutive daily outflows at above-average levels since March 25; redemptions totalled USD 537 million (26% of assets) in that 11-day span. On April 8, crude oil funds posted their largest daily outflow since mid-January: USD 82 billion, or 2.4% of their assets. Even before Donald Trump’s tariff rhetoric stoked global recession concerns, these commodity funds were becoming less popular; both copper and oil funds swung to outflows in November.

Donald Trump is rewriting the rules of international trade in his second term. Shortly after taking office, his administration introduced sweeping tariffs - 25% on Canada and Mexico, 10% on Chinese imports and 25% on aluminum and steel. The latest "Liberation Day" tariffs included a list of levies on 180 countries and territories. With a truly global trade war possible, this chart pack contains 20 visualizations, touring the background for the tariffs, industries at risk in the biggest US trading partners, and potential knock-on effects for consumer prices.

Despite Donald Trump's continued trade rhetoric, international investors committed USD 2 billion to Asian equity markets excluding Japan -- the biggest inflow in about a month. These flows took place on a day where Hong Kong's Hang Seng index dropped by more than 13% and South Korea's Kospi slid by 5.6%. By today (April 8), many of these markets had recovered some of those losses.
