ECB Expected To Hold Rates As More Trump Tariffs Loom
The European Central Bank looks set to keep interest rates unchanged on Thursday while the introduction of higher US tariffs threatened by US President Donald Trump hangs in the balance. A pause would bring an end to a string of cuts that dates back to September last year, as the ECB progressively lowered borrowing costs in response to sinking inflation. The pace of consumer price rises has settled around the central bank's two-percent target, having soared to double digit highs in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic and Russia's full scale invasion of Ukraine. But the relatively more favourable monetary policy conditions look fragile with an August 1 deadline for the possible imposition of punitive tariffs on European exports into the United States set by Trump. With Washington and Brussels still in talks over a possible tariff deal, ECB rate-setters would want "more clarity... before considering any further adjustment to monetary policy", UniCredit analysts said. A pause would give policymakers the summer to see whether Trump follows through with his threat to slap EU exports with a flat 30-percent tariff, in addition to existing levies on cars, steel and aluminium. Higher barriers to trade risk delivering a fresh blow to the eurozone economy, and encourage the ECB to contemplate further rate cuts. After seven straight cuts and eight in total since June last year, the ECB has brought its benchmark deposit rate down to two percent from its peak of four percent in the midst of the inflation wave. "Neither the economic data nor latest data regarding price dynamics demand an immediate response from the ECB," according to Dirk Schumacher, chief economist at German public lender KfW. Eurozone inflation came in at exactly two percent in June and economic indicators including rising factory output have encouraged more optimism about the health of the economy. The ECB would also want to "keep some powder dry for the case of emergency" if Trump were to apply harsh tariffs, Berenberg analyst Felix Schmidt said. "A further escalation in the trade dispute would have a significant negative impact on the eurozone economy," leading to more rate cuts, Schmidt said. The increased strength of the euro against the dollar as a result of tariff uncertainty could also encourage policymakers to further soften the ECB's monetary policy stance. The euro has surged almost 14 percent against the dollar since the start of the year, boosted by investor moves to dump US assets in the face of Trump's impetuous policymaking and attacks on the US Federal Reserve. A stronger euro would make imports cheaper and further suppress inflation. The ECB is already predicting the indicator to dip to 1.6 percent in 2026 before returning to target in 2027. Investors will be listening closely to ECB President Christine Lagarde's comments in Frankfurt at 2:45 pm (1245 GMT) for indications of what could come next. Lagarde dropped a strong hint that the ECB's cutting cycle was "getting to the end" at the last meeting in June, while stressing a data-dependent and meeting-by-meeting approach in the face of uncertainty. If an expected pause is confirmed Thursday, observers will turn their attention to how ECB thinking is developing ahead of its next gathering in September. "A relatively quiet July meeting could feature some heightened scrutiny on how comfortable policymakers would be with another euro rally," according to ING bank analyst Carsten Brzeski said. Worries over currency fluctuations "may not make their way to official communication, but could help tilt the balance to a more dovish overall tone," Brzeski said. "But with the many uncertainties, we doubt markets will get more clarity about the timing during this meeting."

Trump Set To Visit Scotland For Trade Talks, And Some Golf
US President Donald Trump will head to Scotland on Friday for a visit melding diplomacy and golf, a sport that is both his favorite pastime and of financial interest to his family. The 79-year-old billionaire will stay at two luxury seaside golf resorts owned by the Trump family's holding company: at Turnberry in the west, and in the eastern port city of Aberdeen. Trump is set to meet with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer during his trip across the pond, although exact details are not yet confirmed, before an expected return on Tuesday. Starmer will hope to gauge Trump's intentions for trade with the United Kingdom, which has so far managed to avoid the punishing tariffs unleashed by Trump on dozens of other economies around the globe. The United States and Britain announced a trade agreement in May, but Trump said earlier this month that he hopes to "refine the trade deal that we've made," stoking concerns in London. Starmer, who is more of a football fan than golfer, has nevertheless managed to place himself in Trump's good graces. During his visit to the White House, he charmed Trump with a letter from King Charles III, inviting him for a second state visit from September 17 to 19. The Scotland trip will also allow Trump to put some distance between himself and an ongoing controversy involving his ties with Jeffrey Epstein, the deceased financier and sex offender, and anger among his supporters over failures to release case files. In a sign of how sensitive the issue is, the White House excluded the Wall Street Journal from press pool traveling with Trump this weekend, following an article in the newspaper about a "bawdy" letter he allegedly sent to Epstein in 2003. Trump has always proclaimed his love for Scotland, where his mother is from, though the feeling is not necessarily mutual. Protests are planned to take place Saturday in Aberdeen and Edinburgh in response to his visit, with a large police operation planned. In March, the Trump resort in Turnberry was vandalized, with the message "GAZA IS NOT 4 SALE" sprayed across the grass, a reaction to Trump's suggestion of relocating Palestinians and turning the Gaza Strip into luxury real estate. The Trump Organization is also set to open a new golf course in Balmedie, Aberdeenshire, in the northeast of Scotland, sparking discontent among locals and environmentalists. The visit is yet another example of how Trump has blurred the line between his official duties as president and promoting the family business since returning to power in January. The US advocacy group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) in May cited 21 Trump-branded development projects that would be carried out internationally during his second term. CREW also noted that the Trump Organization's ethics guidelines published in January did not prohibit the business from launching projects abroad with private interests, in sharp contrast to a self-imposed moratorium of such deals during Trump's first term in office.

Merz, Macron present united front amid EU-US trade row – DW – 07/24/2025
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and French President Emmanuel Macron sought to present a united front amid a raft of geopolitical and economic challenges. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz held talks with French President Emmanuel Macron in Berlin on Wednesday, as both sides sought to boost relations amid challenging global political times. It was Macron's first visit to Germany since Merz's government took power in early May. Merz hosted the French president for a dinner at the lakeside Villa Borsig outside Berlin on Wednesday evening. The leaders said they wanted to deepen Franco-German cooperation "at all levels." "We stand on the foundation of a close Franco-German friendship that has developed over decades. And we both feel a great obligation to continue working on this in the coming years," Merz said at the start of Macron's working visit to Berlin. Macron highlighted the personal friendship between him and Merz, as well as between their two countries. The Franco-German relationship and the shared will to advance both bilateral and European agendas are essential, said the French president. The meeting comes as the EU confronts a raft of geopolitical and economic challenges, including a trade conflict with the US and Russia's continuing war against Ukraine, among others. Paris and Berlin have been increasing efforts to support Ukraine against Russia and build up the defense capabilities of NATO's European member states. Both France and Germany are, meanwhile, facing threats of increased tariffs from Washington, with US President Donald Trump threatening to slap 30% tariffs against the EU if no trade deal is reached by August 1. Speaking alongside Macron, Merz said there "may be decisions" on the ongoing trade row. "We will discuss some very current issues together, including the current trade policy, about which we are hearing in these minutes that there could possibly be decisions," the German chancellor said. Macron said he would coordinate with Merz and other European counterparts on how to respond to the incoming US tariffs. "Today, we are responding to the tariff offensive that has been launched with a determination that we share: to provide stability and have the lowest possible tariffs," he said ahead of his meeting with Merz.

There has been disagreement over a combat aircraft to be made jointly by France, Germany and Spain. The planned fifth-generation fighter jet is expected to start replacing French Rafale and German and Spanish Eurofighters from 2040. But the project, worth more than €100 billion ($117.73 billion), has been dogged by delays and infighting over workshare and intellectual property rights. The head of French defense company Dassault, Eric Trappier, on Tuesday suggested that the viability of the project was in doubt. Merz and Macron agreed on Wednesday to try to resolve differences over the FCAS fighter jet project by the end of August, a German government spokesperson said. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video There are also other disagreements between the neighboring countries. Paris, for instance, is pushing for joint European debt to boost the bloc's defense industry — a proposal Berlin rejects. France also relies heavily on nuclear energy, while Germany has phased it out entirely. Paris wants Berlin to commit to "technology neutrality" and effectively classify nuclear energy as climate-friendly. While the previous German government rejected this push, Merz's administration may be more open to the idea. France and Germany also disagree on the trade agreement between the EU and the Latin American Mercosur countries.
