Markets have been jolted by the Trump administration's tariffs, and retaliatory moves by various countries are under discussion. When uncertainty rises, it is critically important to take a broad view and strategise. The Private Bank's Americas CIO Deepak Puri, CFA prepared a video to explain the potential impacts for financial markets and investors. He considers: ➡️ The likelihood of retaliation from U.S. trading partners ➡️ The potential for increased stock market volatility ➡️ Emerging opportunities for savvy investors “President Trump’s policies can be divided into two buckets: supply chain-disruption oriented, like trade, tariff, and government efficiency initiatives, and pro-growth policies like the fiscal stimulus plan, and the regulatory relief for companies in the months to come”, Deepak says. “Given the sequencing of the events, the market has had to digest the disruptive policies up front. But we do expect a better policy environment during the second half of the year." 🎥 Watch the video below or here: https://lnkd.in/eUaAMPzt #privatebanking #wealthmanagement (When investing, your capital is at risk)

In this week’s #PERSPECTIVES podcast, we look ahead to “Liberation Day” – the term used by President Donald Trump to describe Wednesday, April 2, when he is expected to make a new major announcement on tariffs. Deepak Puri, our Chief Investment Officer for the Americas, expects this announcement will focus on reciprocal tariffs, designed to match the import tariffs other countries currently place on U.S. goods. He also discusses sectoral tariffs and secondary tariffs and what they could mean for global markets. Whatever is announced this week, “markets are going to remain on edge", Deepak predicts, adding that “we’re now facing the peak of policy uncertainty with regard to trade and tariffs.” He explains that markets need to establish a baseline cost of tariffs, measuring their economic impact. In the short term, these costs will be two-faced: “One will be increasing price pressure for US consumers and the second aspect is lower growth.” Finally, it’s an important week from a macro perspective, as we will receive the most recent snapshot of the U.S. labour market and ISM data for both manufacturing and services in the U.S. Download and subscribe from Apple Podcasts and Spotify or listen here now: https://lnkd.in/emvemAau (When investing, your capital may be at risk.) #CIOInsights #privatebanking #wealthmanagement

April 2 is expected to be an important day for markets, as investors await announcements from the Trump administration on tariff plans for the coming years. Americas CIO Deepak Puri, CFA appeared on Bloomberg on Monday to help make sense of it. "I think you need to establish the base cost of trade and tariffs on the economy, and what I mean by that is: What is the impact on slow growth and higher inflation from the trade and tariffs?" But even after April 2, Deepak says that it will take some time for the outcome of any policy moves to become clear. "I think it's a fluid story, so you can't really make too much out of it. But it is a pivotal moment in this first six months of the Trump administration." 🎥 Watch the full clip here: https://lnkd.in/eNmdetqw (When investing, your capital is at risk) #privatebanking #wealthmanagement

Rarely does a week go by without tariffs being in the spotlight. In this week’s PERSPECTIVES podcast, we asked Christian Nolting, our Global Chief Investment Officer, what he expects them to mean for investors. "The uncertainty of tariffs is not helpful for growth," he said, noting that professional investors have very different views, and therefore a range of expectations for tariffs, worldwide. “We expect tariffs at the higher end for Europe, as we have seen with Mexico and Canada,” he added. However, he does see opportunities for negotiations down the road. Christian also walked us through his expectations for future rate cuts by the Federal Reserve, following the widely expected decision to keep rates unchanged at last week’s meeting. “Central banks are still a bit concerned about inflation – a view we fully share,” he said, adding that it's "important for markets in this environment that central banks do not add more volatility."

Change is coming soon to the European Union's carbon market, and the impacts are likely to be visible in both sustainability metrics and asset prices. From 2026 onward, expect significantly tighter emissions caps, the full implementation of the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), and the end of frontloading auctions. These changes are projected to drive up carbon-credit prices, impacting industries and investors across the board. This transition presents both challenges and opportunities. Industries will need to adapt to stricter regulations and explore innovative decarbonisation strategies. For investors, the evolving carbon market presents new risks to manage and potentially lucrative opportunities. 📈 The EU's carbon market is poised to become a global benchmark for pricing mechanisms. How will your business or investment strategies adapt to this evolving landscape? 🤔 Our PERSPECTIVES Special digs into the details of what is expected, and when.

The Private Bank's Americas CIO Deepak Puri, CFA was a guest on CNBC last night, where he explained recent volatility and dug into how investors are thinking about the state of markets. "What is happening is that the market is doing its own cost-benefit analysis in regards to what is happening with trade and tariffs, and right now the costs are a little bit more extreme than the benefits", Deepak said. "Unless something dramatically changes to that narrative, I think that any gains you see in the markets might be short-lived." But he also pointed to potential gains, including in Europe where new fiscal programs are proposed. "I think you're talking about Germany really cranking up in terms of their fiscal spending, and it's not Germany alone." 🎞️ Watch the complete clip here: https://lnkd.in/etuV6HX3 (When investing, your capital is at risk) #privatebanking #wealthmanagement

Art in Mexico! We were delighted to host clients at the spectacular home of Mexico’s contemporary art scene MUSEO JUMEX in Mexico City. Our guests enjoyed the current exhibition by Gabriel Orozco, one of Mexico’s leading contemporary artists for over four decades. The exhibition, called Politécnico Nacional, is the artist’s first museum exhibition in Mexico since 2006. It features 300 objects and explores key themes in Orozco’s practice, showcasing how he has constantly challenged what art can be and how it is made. Our Head of Emerging Markets Marco Pagliara, Head of Latin America Arlene Schuchard Steffen, Head of Mexico Pascal Landrove, and relationship managers Stephan Bauwens and Antonio Marsicano were pleased to interact with clients during the event. Many inquired about our capabilities of lending against a portfolio of art works.

In this week’s PERSPECTIVES Weekly podcast, the Private Bank’s Chief Investment Officer for EMEA, Dr Dirk Steffen, says his team is standing by its positive market outlook for the next 12 months, noting "it will be an earnings-driven market." Double-digit earnings growth remains a possibility, Dirk says, and, while major U.S. stock indices have recently entered correction territory, the U.S. economy ought to “regain some footing” after its recent soft patch. Meanwhile, a Federal Reserve policy decision is due this week and, even after a recent softening of U.S. inflation figures, Dirk does not expect the central bank will move quickly to bring down interest rates. "We remain in the camp of higher for longer."
