US Safe Haven Fears, Trump Admits Tariff Problems & CEO Uncertainty

Your morning briefing, the business news you need in just 15 minutes.

On today's podcast:

(1) Less than 24 hours after President Donald Trump backtracked on his once-in-a-century trade war to prevent a meltdown in financial markets, frantic selloffs hit US stocks, bonds and the dollar yet again as fears of a worldwide recession engulfed Wall Street.

(2) The dollar extended losses after its biggest plunge in three years, with the cost of hedging against further slides climbing to the highest since the Covid pandemic shuttered cities in early 2020.

(3) President Donald Trump said his tariffs may cause “transition problems” but expressed confidence in his plan, after the White House clarified US tariffs on China rose to 145%.

(4) Top European Union officials are making plans to visit China for a meeting with President Xi Jinping, the South China Morning Post reported — a sign Brussels may be keen to develop better ties with Beijing amid the Trump administration’s tariff onslaught.

(5) Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago President Austan Goolsbee said tariffs are a “stagflationary shock” and they pit the central bank’s goals of price stability and full employment against one another.

(6) A sightseeing helicopter crashed into the Hudson River, killing all six people on board, including three children from Spain and the pilot.
