White House to clarify tariffs for gold bars as industry stops flying bullion to US
LONDON: The White House plans to clarify what its official called misinformation about import tariffs for gold bars amid uncertainty, which saw some industry players pausing deliveries of bullion to the United States. According to a ruling on the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) service's website on Friday, Washington may place the most widely traded gold bullion bars in the United States under country-specific import tariffs, a move that would roil the metal's global supply chains. The White House intends to issue an executive order in the near future 'clarifying misinformation' about tariffs on gold bars and other specialty products, the White House official told Reuters on Friday. U.S. gold futures pared gains after the White House comment. They were last up 0.1% at $3,457 per ounce, reducing a premium over spot gold, the global benchmark, which was steady at $3,398. The CBP ruling refers to cast gold bars from Switzerland, the world's biggest bullion refining and transit hub, which is now subject to U.S. import tariffs of 39%. The CBP said that the correct HS customs code to use when supplying 1 kg bullion bars and 100 troy ounce bullion bars, the most traded sizes in the U.S. futures market, to the U.S. would be 7108.13.5500 and not 7108.12.10. However, Washington included only the latter code in the list of products excluded from country-specific import tariffs in April, with 7108.13.5500 not on the list. The Swiss Association of Precious Metals Manufacturers and Traders (ASFCMP) said in a statement that the clarification applied to any country delivering these bars to the U.S. 'The United States is a longstanding market for us, so this is a blow for the industry and for Switzerland,' Christoph Wild, president of the ASFCMP, told Reuters. 'With a tariff of 39%, exports of gold bars will be definitely stopped to the U.S,' Wild said. While Switzerland is the refining and transit hub, Britain is home to the world's largest over-the-counter gold trading hub, and South Africa and Canada are among major gold miners. 'Likely imposing 39% tariffs on Swiss kilobars is akin to pouring sand into an otherwise well-functioning engine. I say 'likely'...the possibility remains that this is an error,' said independent analyst Ross Norman. A major gold refinery in Switzerland stopped deliveries to the U.S. after seeing the CBP ruling, a top manager at the refinery told Reuters, while a gold logistics specialist said some other industry players outside Switzerland did the same. The White House's upcoming executive order 'should hopefully clear things up,' said the logistics source. Protecting the U.S. gold futures during this uncertainty are high stocks of gold in Comex-owned warehouses , after massive inflows over December-March as traders hedged against the possibility of broad U.S. tariffs hitting bullion imports. 'The COMEX inventories currently amount to 86% of open interest - against a more normal 40-45% - so there is no liquidity issue at present,' said StoneX analyst Rhona O'Connell. - Reuters

Pinterest slumps after flagging soft ad spend in major market U.S
A keyboard is placed in front of a displayed Pinterest logo in this illustration taken February 21, 2023. REUTERS/Dado Ruvic/Illustration (Reuters) -Pinterest shares plunged about 15% on Friday after the image-sharing platform warned of weaker ad spending in the U.S., its biggest market, due to the removal of the "de minimis" trade loophole. Tariffs-driven uncertainty and a suspension of the exemption that allowed packages valued at or under $800 to be shipped to the U.S. without facing import duties have forced some Asian e-commerce companies to scale back their U.S. marketing budgets. Those companies are now focusing on Europe and their home markets, where advertising rates are typically lower than those in North America, impacting ad revenues at Pinterest. The company, known for curating links to lifestyle products such as home decor, fashion accessories and beauty items, saw a 25% decline in advertising prices in the second quarter. With U.S. tariffs in place, the trend is expected to continue. "Management's comments on tariff concerns extending into the third quarter likely spooked the Street," Roth Capital Partners analysts said. A user growth slowdown, especially in North America, also added to investor worries. The company added 8 million users in the quarter to 578 million, lower than the 17 million in the first. It is much smaller than rivals such as Meta-owned Instagram. The stalled user growth is a "significant" concern, AJ Bell head of financial analysis Danni Hewson said. "As followers of the fortunes of MySpace, Bebo and Vine could tell you, it can be hard to regain relevance in the social media world once you have lost it." To boost engagement and attract more ad dollars, Pinterest has been doubling down on investments in shopping tools and personalization. But that is pushing up costs just as revenue growth is under pressure, hitting profits. The company's quarterly adjusted profit per share of 33 cents fell short of expectations of 35 cents on Thursday as total costs and expenses jumped 15%.
