As has already become clear we are in war ... commercial! Last week, Donald Trump decided that Canada, the EU and Mexico would be subject to the import tariffs for aluminum and steel, and the answers and insistence on them were not missing. As the economic calendar is relatively empty from major news, next week the markets are likely to be driven by rumors about the trade, war and the upcoming meeting between Kim Jong Un and Donald Trump on June 12 in Singapore. For many of you, the outcome of this meeting will not be of major importance to the capital markets, but in this situation it is not so! That's why. For Trump, trade with China and the problems around North Korea are directly related. When the American president needed the help of his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping and Kim, he spared Beijing of the harsh business he promised during his election campaign. But when Kim talks, the president turned the gun's pistol to his.
In any case, the background of the war and North Korea remains complex and will continue to weigh on the indices next week.
As for the economic calendar, the most exciting weekend is the Reserve Bank of Australia's base interest rate decision. The bank will publish its decision on Tuesday, and the expectation is not to take action to raise interest rates. In the Monetary Policy Report, I also expect the bank to be extremely cautious, highlighting the risks posed by trade conflicts around the US. An increasing burden on risky currencies will also be the probability that the Kim Jong Un-Trump meeting will end with a truce, weakening China's influence on North Korea.
