PERSPECTIVES Weekly: The Investment podcast

• On the lookout for tariff clarity

  Developments in U.S. tariff policy suggest that, when markets have a strong reaction, the White House is prepared to change course, says the Private Bank’s Global Chief Investment Officer, Christian Nolting. “Of course, this was denied by Washington, but I would be surprised if they really don’t look at it,” he says, noting that this applies more to bonds than it does to stocks.In the week ahead, “the number I’m really watching out for on the macro side in the U.S. is, believe it or not, the nonfarm payrolls,” Christian says, adding that this is in part because the April jobs report will be the first data to hint at how the economy adjusted after tariffs entered the picture on April 2.For more investing insights, please visit deutschewealth.com.In Europe, Middle East and Africa as well as in Asia Pacific this material is considered marketing material, but this is not the case in the U.S. No assurance can be given that any forecast or target can be achieved.

• Tariff u-turn as earnings season kicks off

  Tariff moves from the U.S. administration have continued to hold centre stage, and "it has been a very volatile period,” notes Deepak Puri, the Private Bank’s Chief Investment Officer for the Americas. "The baseline of what that means for the macro environment is still to be determined”, Deepak says. “The market is still in a wait-and-watch mode."Earnings season has gotten started in the U.S., and a policy decision is expected from the European Central Bank in the week ahead. But tariff concerns are likely to hold the limelight for the time being. "I expect the tariff situation to be an overhang on markets for some time.”

• The tariff market jolt: where we go from here

  The Trump administration has rolled out its global tariffs and markets have slumped in response, but "it's our job to keep calm and invest in a very disciplined way", says Dr. Dirk Steffen, the Private Bank's EMEA CIO. "It's really important to focus on risk management these days", Dirk says, adding that diversification and potential hedges are hot topics.Earnings season is coming up, and minutes from the Federal Reserve’s recent meeting are due in the week ahead, but corporate reports economic data could be drowned out by tariff headlines for now. "The next few weeks at least will be very volatile", Dirk says.

• The peak of policy uncertainty

  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 regards 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 double-edged: “One [aspect] will be increasing price pressure for US consumers and the second aspect will be 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.For more investing insights, please visit deutschewealth.com.In Europe, Middle East and Africa as well as in Asia Pacific this material is considered marketing material, but this is not the case in the U.S. No assurance can be given that any forecast or target can be achieved.

• Inflation, Tariffs and the Growth Dilemma

  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."For more investing insights, please visit deutschewealth.com.In Europe, Middle East and Africa as well as in Asia Pacific this material is considered marketing material, but this is not the case in the U.S. No assurance can be given that any forecast or target can be achieved.
