Weaker currencies can help compensate for the influence of tariffs.
“There was an optimism on the market that (tariff threats) were only for negotiations, but the market may have underestimated the determination of Trump administration,” said Jason Lui, head of Asian-Pacific equality and derivative strategies in BNP Paribas.
The steep decrease came after Trump on Saturday imposed 25 percent of tariffs on all imports from Mexico and Canada, with a lower 10 percent of Canadian energy collection and a new 10 percent of imports from China. He also threatened the EU levy last week.
Economists have warned that the tariffs are likely to accelerate inflation in the US, something that has encouraged the offering of the treasury and the dollar after Trump’s elections in November.
“The clearest implication is a stronger dollar,” said Eric Winograd, the main economist of Allianceberntein. “The long position in the dollar is the strongest, clearest expression of a trade war that is now running.”
“The currencies that will suffer the most are those against which the tariffs are imposed,” Winograd added, noting that “there is a good case for the stock market to suffer a little.”
Oil prices also climbed in an early Asian trade, with an international reference oil Brent by 0.6 percent to $ 76.13 for Barel.
George Saravelos of Deutsche Bank said that the tariff announcements were “in the highest hawk end of the protectionist spectrum we could have predicted” and that markets are required for “a structural and significant replay of premium for a trade war risk.”
The Mexican Peso has come across in recent weeks because traders have carefully reviewed the announcements of new Trump administration for traces of how fast and how extensive the new levy will be.
“If the tariff stays for several months, the course will reach a new historic maximal,” said Gabriela Siller, the main economist of the Banco Mexican base, citing the number of pesos per dollar. “If the tariff stays on it will be a structural change for Mexico.. Mexico could also enter a deep recession that will take years to go out.”
