November 2024 | Former President Donald Trump will return to the US White House for the next four years and, with the Republican party also taking the Senate and possibly the House, a “red sweep” is the most likely outcome. Financial markets reacted by extending popular “Trump trades” – pushing up bond yields, the US dollar and equity futures – as investors assign higher odds of Trump turning policy proposals into reality. The inflation impact of Trump’s policies will pose risks to fixed income investments, and these could be amplified by concerns about US fiscal sustainability.
01 | We think the new president may prioritize tariff and immigration policies over tax cuts, as these can be implemented through executive orders without congressional approval.
02 | Full implementation of Trump’s far-reaching tariff proposal will likely leave no winners in a world of heightened trade uncertainty and protectionism.
03 | We believe higher inflation and a more hawkish Fed will pose risks to fixed income investments, while supporting the dollar in the short term. Tighter financial conditions may be transmitted across the globe, with Asian markets particularly vulnerable given the added shock from higher tariffs.
