Trump's tariffs inject fresh uncertainty into global markets

US President Donald Trump's latest tariff hikes injected fresh uncertainty into international markets, underscoring Trump's remaking of the global economic order. In just months, Washington's effective tariff rate has risen by more than 15 percentage points, as Trump wielded economic and geopolitical power to exert his protectionist will on other nations, which were 'willing to quickly ditch the rules-based trading order that just a few years ago many professed was the bedrock of international economic prosperity,' an Atlantic Council expert wrote.

Oil Drops After OPEC+ Supply Hike Amplifies Concerns Over Glut

Oil fell after OPEC+ agreed to another bumper output increase, stoking concerns about global oversupply just as the US-led trade war may be exacting a toll on economic growth and energy consumption. Brent was 1% lower at $69.01 a barrel in early trade, while West Texas Intermediate fell below $67, after OPEC+ members endorsed an additional 547,000 barrels-a-day of output from September, completing the revival of a voluntarily-halted supply tranche a year ahead of an initial timetable.
