Trump news at a glance: president unleashes slew of new tariff rates for trading partners
The new tariffs, the next step in his trade agenda that will test the global economy, are set to go into effect in seven days. The extension reflects the government's need for more time to harmonize the tariff rates, AP reports, according to a senior official who spoke to reporters on condition of anonymity.
The order applies to 68 countries and the 27-member European Union. Rates were set at 25% for India's US-bound exports, 20% for Taiwan, 19% for Thailand and 15% for South Korea.
Trump also increased duties on Canadian goods to 35% from 25% for all products not covered by the US-Mexico-Canada trade agreement, but gave Mexico a 90-day reprieve from higher tariffs to negotiate a broader trade deal. Trump had threatened on Wednesday that Ottawa's move to recognise a Palestinian state would make agreeing a trade deal 'very hard'.
Asian shares fell on Friday after the tariffs announcement.

Trump imposes tariffs of 10% to 41% on dozens of countries, hours before deadline
US president Donald Trump has signed an executive order imposing reciprocal tariffs ranging from 10% to 41% on imports from dozens of countries and foreign locations, as he extended the deadline for a tariff deal with Mexico by another 90 days.
Rates were set at 25% for India's US-bound exports, 20% for Taiwan and 30% for South Africa ahead of Trump's self-imposed deadline to strike trade deals with countries around the world by 1 August. Brazil's tariff rate was set at 10%, but a previous order signed by Trump placed a 40% tariff on some Brazilian goods, to punish the country for prosecuting its former president, Jair Bolsonaro, for trying to overturn an election he lost and inspiring his supporters to storm the seat of government.
Separately, the White House announced that Canadian imports will face tariffs of 35%, not the current 25%. Trump had threatened on Wednesday that Ottawa's move to recognise a Palestinian state would make agreeing a trade deal 'very hard'.

Freight market's ‘holding pattern' continues in July
The logistics industry continued to expand in July, but the transportation market remains stuck in a 'holding pattern,' according to a monthly survey of supply chain professionals. The Logistics Managers' Index – a diffusion index in which a reading above 50 indicates expansion while one below 50 signals contraction – returned a 52.6 reading for transportation capacity in the month. While up only 20 basis points from June, the subindex continued to show that any recovery in the freight cycle is unlikely to come from the supply side. Sentiment around transportation capacity has signaled growth for more than three years now. (The dataset returned neutral readings of 50 twice last year.) 'So long as this metric comes in above 50.0, it is unlikely that we will have a truly robust expansion in the freight market,' a Tuesday report said. Even with the modest capacity expansion, both transportation utilization (59.5) and transportation prices (63) were up in the month, 6.6 percentage points and 1 point, respectively. Most truckload carriers have advanced initiatives to better utilize equipment through the protracted downturn, including the removal of tractors from service. July marked the highest utilization reading since January (60.1), with firms upstream in the supply chain, like wholesalers, reporting expansion (60.7) versus no change (50) among downstream retailers. Transportation pricing has remained firmly in growth mode this year, averaging a monthly reading of 63.2. The pricing index again grew faster than the capacity index, suggesting the freight market is recovering, albeit slowly. (The pricing dataset has outpaced the capacity dataset by an average of 10 points in each month this year.) Respondents returned a 12-month-forward prediction of 75.5 for the pricing subindex. The overall LMI came in at 59.2 for the month, down 1.5 points from June. The all-time average for the dataset is 61.5. Smaller firms – companies with less than 1,000 employees – and upstream companies drove activity in the supply chain during July, with both reporting higher inventories. Overall, inventory levels (55.6) fell 4.2 points in the month. Smaller companies reported rapid expansion in inventory (64.8). Most of the smaller respondents are distributors, wholesalers and logistics service providers that reside in 'the middle mile of the supply chain,' between ports, manufacturers and retailers. Upstream firms saw expansion (58.5) versus contraction among downstream companies (47.6). A decline in stock levels among retailers was said to be 'due to the start-stop nature of tariffs.' The growth in inventories kept inventory costs (71.9) elevated, albeit 9 points lower than in June. Warehouse capacity (51.1) was up 3.3 points, crossing back into expansion territory. Capacity was 10 points tighter for smaller companies given their inventory additions. Warehouse utilization (59.4) fell 2.8 points while warehouse prices (68.3) were unchanged, maintaining a 'robust rate of expansion' in the month. Logistics real estate investment trust Prologis (NYSE: PLD) said on Monday that it is just a matter of time before market rents increase, noting well-capitalized, large-scale tenants are moving forward with leasing plans despite an uncertain macroeconomic backdrop. The LMI is a collaboration among Arizona State University, Colorado State University, Florida Atlantic University, Rutgers University and the University of Nevada, Reno, conducted in conjunction with the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals.

Trump tariffs live updates: Trump says pharma tariffs could go to 250%, threatens EU if it fails on investment pledge
President Trump on Tuesday said he would announce tariffs on semiconductor and pharmaceutical imports "within the next week or so," as he prepares to add more sectoral duties to his mix of tariffs. "We'll be putting a initially small tariff on pharmaceuticals, but in one year — one and a half years, maximum — it's going to go to 150%. And then it's going to go to 250%, because we want pharmaceuticals made in our country," Trump said during a CNBC interview. Trump also threatened the European Union with increased tariffs if it failed to live up to a pledge to invest some $600 billion in the US. Meanwhile, the world is awaiting Trump's country-specific duties and jockeying ahead of their implementation. India has called out Trump after he threatened to "substantially raise" tariffs on Indian exports over its Russian oil purchases, slamming the move as unjustified. India said it would protect its interest and accused the US of a double standard on trade with Russia. Trump has signed an order to hike tariffs on Canada to 35%, while setting rates from 10% to 40% on dozens of partners. Those duties are set to come into full effect this week. Yahoo Finance's Ben Werschkul has more details on the latest orders. You can see the new rates Trump is set to levy in the graphic below: In the past several days, Trump has unleashed a flurry of deals and trade moves leading up to his self-imposed deadline: Trump granted Mexico, the US's largest trading partner, a 90-day reprieve on higher tariffs. The US agreed to a trade deal with South Korea. The agreement includes a 15% tariff rate on imports from the country, while the US will not be charged a tariff on its exports, Trump said. Trump imposed 50% tariffs on semi-finished copper products starting Aug. 1. The president signed an order to end the de minimis exemption on low-value imports under $800, thereby applying tariffs from Aug. 29. Trump signed another order to impose a total of 50% tariffs on many goods from Brazil. However, it exempts key US imports like orange juice and aircraft parts that benefit Embraer (ERJ). The US and EU agreed to a trade deal that imposes 15% tariffs on EU goods. The nations are still working on finalizing many terms of the deal.

US tariff on EU goods set at flat 15% The EU said on Tuesday that European Union goods entering the US face a flat 15% tariff, including cars and car parts. The rate includes the Most Favoured Nation (MFN) tariff and won't exceed 15% even if the US raises tariffs on items like semiconductors and medicines.

'China will always ensure its energy supply in ways that serve our national interests,' China's Foreign Ministry posted on X on Wednesday following two days of trade negotiations in Stockholm, responding to the U.S. threat of a 100% tariff. 'Coercion and pressuring will not achieve anything. China will firmly defend its sovereignty, security and development interests," the ministry said.

'China will always ensure its energy supply in ways that serve our national interests,' China's Foreign Ministry posted on X on Wednesday following two days of trade negotiations in Stockholm, responding to the U.S. threat of a 100% tariff. 'Coercion and pressuring will not achieve anything. China will firmly defend its sovereignty, security and development interests," the ministry said. In India, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has rejected pressure from President Trump, encouraging people to buy local goods. India has not told its oil refiners to stop purchasing Russian oil, and those decisions remain up to each company. 'The world economy is going through many apprehensions — there is an atmosphere of instability,' Modi said at a rally in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh on Saturday. 'Now, whatever we buy, there should be only one scale: we will buy those things which have been made by the sweat of an Indian.'
