Trump's $1 Trillion Trade Shock: Is the U.S. About to Lose Its Edge?
Trump's tariff blitz is backlouder, costlier, and this time, with fewer friends. As he heads into the G-7 summit, his trade playbook is drawing sharper pushback from allies, courts, and economists. Bloomberg Economics estimates the global economy could be $1 trillion smaller by 2030 if the current tariff regime stays in place. The U.S. alone may shoulder more than a third of that painroughly 690,000 lost jobs and a shrinking slice of global trade. Meanwhile, countries like Canada, Japan, and Mexico are leaning harder into the CPTPP, hedging against what they now see as a less dependable U.S. trade partner. The economic trade-off Trump's banking on? More factories, fewer services. Bloomberg's model suggests tariffs could deliver 1.2 million new manufacturing jobsbut potentially erase 1.6 million in the service sector. That imbalance is already showing up in slower growth forecasts. The OECD now expects just 1.6% U.S. growth in 2025, down from 2.8% in 2024. And as prices tick up and global supply chains recalibrate, major U.S. trading partnersfrom Germany to Japanare preparing for impact. While the Trump team frames this as a strategic reset, even close allies are starting to build trade routes that bypass Washington. For investors, this shift could be a game-changer. Companies with cross-border exposureespecially automakers like Ford (NYSE:F) and Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA)may see higher input costs and pressure on margins if tariffs escalate. On the flip side, CPTPP economies like Vietnam and Mexico are gaining ground, drawing new investment and export orders that once flowed to the U.S. The bigger picture? America's withdrawal from TPP could end up as one of the most expensive political decisions in modern trade historynot just economically, but strategically. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.

BOJ Is Said to See Inflation Running Stronger Than Expected
(Bloomberg) -- Bank of Japan officials see prices rising a little stronger than they expected earlier in the year, a factor that may open the door to discussions over whether to raise interest rates if global trade tensions ease, according to people familiar with the matter. Shuttered NY College Has Alumni Fighting Over Its Future Trump's Military Parade Has Washington Bracing for Tanks and Weaponry NYC Renters Brace for Price Hikes After Broker-Fee Ban Do World's Fairs Still Matter? NY Long Island Rail Service Resumes After Grand Central Fire The officials expect the central bank's benchmark interest rate to be left at 0.5% at the end of a two-day gathering next week as they need to monitor developments in tariff talks globally and their economic implications, the people said. But if tariff measures turn out to be not so disruptive for the underlying price trend, officials would see that supporting a discussion over whether to raise the rate, the people said. The comments from the people suggest that provided there is more clarity on the global trade situation, the central bank could raise rates by the end of this year. The BOJ meets on Monday and Tuesday next week and is widely expected to stand pat with investors focusing largely on its future bond buying plans and whether it will slow its paring of purchases from spring next year. For the time being the trade picture remains very unclear. Japan's top negotiator will arrive in Washington on Friday for a sixth round of talks with the US ahead of a Group of Seven summit in Canada. Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba may meet President Donald Trump on the sidelines of the G-7 gathering. While Japan is seeking the removal of 25% tariffs on autos as part of the trade talks, Trump said Thursday he was considering raising the levies on car imports to the US even higher. Should clarity emerge on the trade front, though, the central bank would be in a position to consider raising rates given the firmness of prices, the people said. Recent price growth is a tad stronger than officials expected earlier in the year, the people said. Some officials see the relative strength in inflation reflecting a change in price-setting behavior with sharp increases in the price of rice likely to harden inflationary views among consumers, they said. Core inflation accelerated to 3.5% in April, the latest available national price data showed. In a survey conducted earlier this month, some 34% of economists expect the central bank to wait until January before raising the rate again, making that month the most popular choice for the next hike.
