This agreement, described as “larger” never concluded in terms of trade by Donald Trump, includes a certain number of exceptions, with products taxed at 0% on the part of the two business partners, including aeronautical equipment, equipment for semiconductors, and certain agricultural products. But not alcoholic products whose fate must be decided “in the coming days,” said Ursula von der Leyen.
The text also provides that Europeans will buy $ 750 billion in energy products from the United States and will invest $ 600 billion in the country.
“Why so many gifts to the Americans?” Asked, indignant, Véronique Rich-Flores, independent economist. “The EU’s trade surplus with regard to the United States would have disproportionately increased in recent years”, Ms. Von Der Leyen, president of the Commission and negotiator for the EU who abounds in the direction of D. Trump and thereby forget that the Americans compensate for a large part of their deficits of goods by comfortable excess of services. “
“So, yes, 15 % are always better than 30 % or 50 % and it is likely that the investors will applaud this relief, or will do, at least, seeming to do so. Because, which can consider what is presented as an agreement, other than a racket whose Europeans will pay for both the economic note and that, even more bitter, of the humiliation of no more knowing how to do it but to bend and to do more than to make diktates Inexpensive.
15% is half less, therefore, than the 30% brandished at the start by the White House. But basically, wouldn’t the American president have won his trade war? This is the feeling that prevails if we coldly look at the initial commercial situation, and the bases of the new agreement.

The macroeconomic figures to date, especially on the front of domestic consumption, campaign for a status quo on the remuneration of Fed Funds. The Fedwatch tool of the CME Group is 97% figures the probabilities of status quo, to the chagrin of Donald Trump, who continues to have his requirement to see the guiding rates melt, dealing all the boss of the “Nigaud” Fed to all go …
“As long as Fed’s decisions continue to be guided by economic data, and not by political pressures, we anticipate a drop in rates of 100 base points by June 2026”, anticipates Claudia Panseri, Chief Investment Officer, UBS WM France, UBS Europe SE, branch of France. “This development will further erode the value of liquidity deposits, thus strengthening the attraction of quality obligations, including American treasure bills (of a five -year maturity), which, in our view, should retain their central role in the global financial system”
