How Trump's Inauguration is Affecting Global Markets and the UK Economy

As Donald Trump's inauguration approaches, Britain has faced economic challenges: global bond yield increases have slowed UK markets, while the pound has experienced a significant decline.

Bond Yields Rise and Economic Concerns

This week, bond yields surged due to inflation concerns, potential interest rate cuts, and uncertainty over Trump's foreign and economic policies. Expected sales of trillions in additional debt have pressured the UK bond market, which continues to underperform the rest of Europe. Sterling fell below $1.23, reaching its lowest level in over a year.

This rout is not a UK but a global phenomenon. Sovereign debt is the elephant in the room. Will the UK achieve the growth we’d all like to see? The markets are not convinced.Russ Mould, investment director of AJ Bell in London

Britain's Markets Condition

This week's UK bond sales are a warning as markets focus on fiscal sustainability. Bonds' weakness has spread to other UK assets, with the pound hitting the lowest value in over a year. The retail sector is also facing declines, despite reported strong sales performance by companies like M&S, which has fallen over 7%.

US Tariff Threats and Impact on China

Trump plans tariffs up to 10% on global imports and 60% on Chinese goods. Experts predict these moves could disrupt trade and provoke retaliation. Chinese markets and the central bank are currently coping with a dropping yuan. Barclays anticipates the yuan weakening to 7.5 per dollar by the end of 2025, and further if the US imposes 60% tariffs.

Rapidly changing global economics pose risks for the UK and China amid new economic measures and Trump’s policy decisions. The ongoing rise in bond yields adds market uncertainty.
