France denounces US-European Union trade deal, French PM calls it..., Emmanuel Macron...
(Image: President Donald Trump shakes hands with European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen in Turnberry. Pic: Reuters) New Delhi: France has criticized Sunday's, July 28 trade deal between US President Donald Trump and European Union (EU) President Ursula von der Leyen. French Prime Minister François Bayrou called it a dark day for the EU. What did France say over US-EU trade deal? François Bayrou said the EU had bowed to President Trump's increasing tariff pressure. He wrote on X: 'It is sad when a coalition of independent countries, formed to protect their common values and interests, buckles under pressure.' At the same time, French Minister of European Affairs Benjamin Haddad said that this situation is not good and the EU should take countermeasures. French Trade Minister Laurent Saint-Martin said, 'Trump only understands the language of power. If we should have taken countermeasures earlier, the deal might have been better.' However, French President Emmanuel Macron has remained silent on the matter. What is the response of Italy and Germany? German Chancellor Friedrich Mertz and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni welcomed the agreement. European Trade Commissioner Maros Sefcovic called it a 'big step' as it averted a trade war between the USA and Europe. Under the agreement, most goods going from Europe to the US will face a 15% tariff, three times the current 4.8%. However, the 30% tariff was avoided after Trump's threat of August 1. How much of Europe's goods will face 15% tariff? According to the details of the agreement, 70% of goods from Europe will be subject to 15% tariff. This includes cars, medicines and electronics. However, some agricultural products such as aircraft parts, some chemicals, semiconductor equipment and cork will not be subject to tariffs. There will be no tariff on drugs yet, and if there is one in the future, it will not be more than 15%. The EU will buy energy worth 750 billion dollars or about 64 lakh crore rupees from America in the next three years. Along with this, the EU will invest 600 billion dollars i.e. 51 lakh crore rupees in America.

Dollar rises against major peers after US-EU trade pact
By Alun John and Chibuike Oguh NEW YORK/LONDON (Reuters) -The dollar rose against the euro and yen on Monday as markets were buoyed by a trade agreement between the U.S. and the EU, which brought some market certainty and averted a global trade war. U.S. President Donald Trump and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen reached a framework trade agreement on Sunday, which provides for an import tariff of 15% on EU goods, half the rate Trump had threatened from August 1. That follows last week's U.S. agreement with Japan, while top U.S. and Chinese economic officials resumed talks in Stockholm on Monday, aiming to extend a truce by three months and keep sharply higher tariffs at bay. "If you rewind back to early April or Liberation Day, the overarching theme has been selling US assets because of uncertainties due to the new trade regime," said Eugene Epstein, head of structuring for North America at Moneycorp in New Jersey. "I would argue that what you're seeing is some resemblance of return to normalcy." The dollar rose against the safe-haven Swiss franc, up 1% at 0.80325 francs. It rose against the Japanese yen, up 0.59% at 148.535. The euro was last down 1.25% at $1.159125, set for its biggest daily loss since mid-May, reversing an initial knee-jerk rise in Asia trade as investors' focus shifted to what an easing in global trade tensions meant for the dollar overall. The dollar tumbled sharply earlier this year, particularly against the euro, as fears that dramatically higher tariffs on trade with most of its major partners would hurt the U.S. economy caused investors to consider shifting out of U.S. assets. U.S. stocks were mostly lower but still trading near record highs. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.3%, the S&P 500 dipped 0.15% and the Nasdaq Composite rose 0.14%. Normally, the gap between yields on government bonds is a major factor for currency moves, but at present, the euro is significantly higher than the gap between U.S. and euro zone yields would imply. "If you think about what we expected in the beginning of the year, no one really thought that the euro was going to be so strong. We all thought that, especially post Liberation Day, the dollar will remain strong," said Anthi Tsouvali, multi-asset strategist at UBS Wealth. "We continue to see the dollar weakening." The euro fell against the yen and sterling, having hit a one-year high on the Japanese currency and a two-year high on the pound at the start of trade. The dollar strengthened against the pound, which was 0.67% lower at $1.33545. As concerns subside about the economic fallout from punishing tariffs, investor attention is shifting to corporate earnings and central bank meetings in the United States and Japan in the next few days. Both the Fed and the Bank of Japan are expected to hold rates steady at policy meetings this week, but traders will watch subsequent comments to gauge the timing of the next moves. Investors will also be watching to see Trump's reaction to the Fed's decision. The 2-year note yield, which typically moves in step with interest rate expectations for the Federal Reserve, rose 1.5 basis points to 3.932%, from 3.917% late on Friday. Trump has been putting the Fed under heavy pressure to make significant rate cuts, and Trump appeared close to trying to fire Powell last week, but backed off with a nod to the market disruption that would likely follow. In cryptocurrencies, bitcoin fell 0.52% to $118,205.38. Ethereum declined 0.61% to $3,800.90.

TURNBERRY: US President Trump said he expected the US to set tariffs in the range of 15% to 20% for those countries that did not reach a negotiated trade agreement with Washington. 'I would say it'll be somewhere in the 15 to 20% range,' Trump told reporters, sitting alongside British PM Keir Starmer at his golf resort in Turnberry, Scotland. 'Probably one of those two numbers. ' Trump has said his administration will send out letters soon to some 200 countries notifying them of their expected tariff rate on exports to the US.
