UK's Melrose beats operating profit estimates on strong defence demand
Aug 1 (Reuters) - GKN Aerospace owner Melrose Industries (MRON.L), opens new tab reported first-half adjusted operating profit above market estimates on Friday, bolstered by rising defence and civil aerospace demand. While rising geopolitical tensions are fuelling defence spending and growth for aerospace suppliers, U.S. President Donald Trump's sweeping tariffs are forcing companies like Melrose to reassess their supply chains and negotiate pricing. Melrose, which gets about 50% of its revenue from North America, said it had largely mitigated its direct exposure to tariffs through changes in the supply chain structure and other actions. The company reported 310 million pounds ($409.17 million) in adjusted operating profit for the first half of the year, compared with analysts' estimate of 299 million pounds, according to a company-compiled poll. Melrose maintained its 2025 forecast on a constant currency basis. ($1 = 0.7576 pounds)

US trade war: The state of play as Trump signs order imposing new tariffs - but there are more delays
Donald Trump's trade war has been difficult to keep up with, to put it mildly. For all the threats and bluster of the US election campaign last year to the on-off implementation of trade tariffs - and more threats - since he returned to the White House in January, the president 's protectionist agenda has been haphazard. Trading partners, export-focused firms, customs agents and even his own trade team have had a lot on their plates as deadlines were imposed - and then retracted - and the tariff numbers tinkered. While the UK was the first country to secure a truce of sorts, described as a "deal", the vast majority of nations have failed to secure any agreement. Deal or no deal, no country is on better trading terms with the United States than it was when Trump 2.0 began. Here, we examine what nations and blocs are on the hook for, and the potential consequences, as Mr Trump's suspended "reciprocal" tariffs prepare to take effect. That will now not happen until 7 August. 2:49 Why was 1 August such an important date? To understand the present day, we must first wind the clock back to early April. Then, Mr Trump proudly showed off a board in the White House Rose Garden containing a list of countries and the tariffs they would immediately face in retaliation for the rates they impose on US-made goods. He called it "liberation day". The tariff numbers were big and financial markets took fright. Just days later, the president announced a 90-day pause in those rates for all countries except China, to allow for negotiations. The initial deadline of 9 July was then extended again to 1 August. Late on 31 July, Mr Trump signed the executive order but said that the tariff rates would not kick in for seven additional days to allow for the orders to be fully communicated. Since April, only eight countries or trading blocs have agreed "deals" to limit the reciprocal tariffs and - in some cases - sectoral tariffs already in place. Who has agreed a deal over the past 120 days? The UK, Japan, Indonesia, the European Union and South Korea are among the eight to be facing lower rates than had been threatened back in April. China has not really done a deal but it is no longer facing punitive tariffs above 100%. Its decision to retaliate against US levies prompted a truce level to be agreed between the pair, pending further talks. There's a backlash against the EU over its deal, with many national leaders accusing the European Commission of giving in too easily. A broad 15% rate is to apply, down from the threatened 30%, while the bloc has also committed to US investment and to pay for US-produced natural gas. 1:40 Where does the UK stand? We've already mentioned that the UK was the first to avert the worst of what was threatened. While a 10% baseline tariff covers the vast majority of the goods we send to the US, aerospace products are exempt. Our steel sector has not been subjected to Trump's 50% tariffs and has been facing down a 25% rate. The government announced on Thursday that it would not apply under the terms of a quota system. UK car exports were on a 25% rate until the end of June when the deal agreed in May took that down to 10% under a similar quota arrangement that exempts the first 100,000 cars from a levy. Who has not done a deal? Canada is among the big names facing a 35% baseline tariff rate. That is up from 25% and covers all goods not subject to a US-Mexico-Canada trade agreement that involves rules of origin. America is its biggest export market and it has long been in Trump's sights. Mexico, another country deeply ingrained in the US supply chain, is facing a 30% rate but has been given an extra 90 days to secure a deal. Brazil is facing a 50% rate. For India, it's 25%. What are the consequences? This is where it all gets a bit woolly - for good reasons. The trade war is unprecedented in scale, given the global nature of modern business. It takes time for official statistics to catch up, especially when tariff rates chop and change so much. Any duties on exports to the United States are a threat to company sales and economic growth alike - in both the US and the rest of the world. Many carmakers, for example, have refused to offer guidance on their outlooks for revenue and profits. Barriers to business are never good but the International Monetary Fund earlier this week raised its forecast for global economic growth this year from 2.8% to 3%. Some of that increase can be explained by the deals involving major economies, including Japan, the EU and UK. US growth figures have been skewed by the rush to beat import tariffs. There is an elephant in the room: inflation. Countries imposing duties on their imports force the recipient of those goods to foot the additional bill. Do the buyers swallow it or pass it on? The latest US data contained strong evidence that tariff charges are now making their way down the country's supply chains, threatening to squeeze American consumers in the months ahead. It's why the US central bank has been refusing demands from Mr Trump to cut interest rates. You don't slow the pace of price rises by making borrowing costs cheaper. A prolonged period of higher inflation would not go down well with US businesses or voters. It's why financial markets have followed a recent trend known as TACO, helping stock markets remain at record levels. The belief is that Trump always chickens out. He may have to back down if inflation takes off.
