Nokia lowers forecast on weaker dollar, US tariffs
The profit outlook for the full year is now between 1.6 billion and 2.1 billion euros ($1.9 billion to $2.5 billion), 300 million euros less than previously indicated, it said.
Currency fluctuations -- "particularly the weaker US dollar" -- and "the current tariff landscape" led to the revision, the Finnish company said in a statement to investors.
A weaker dollar is weighing on European companies with operations in North America, reducing turnover in euro terms and making euro-denominated exports to that market more expensive.
US President Donald Trump's 10 percent baseline tariff announced in April -- followed by threats to increase the tariffs on EU products to 30 percent after August 1 -- are weighing on other big European firms.
The United States has also imposed a 30-percent tariff on goods imported from China, while China imposes a 10 percent levy on goods brought in from America.
Nokia operates in both the US and Chinese markets.
Nokia said current tariffs were "expected to impact full year operating profit by 50 million to 80 million euros".
Nokia said its guidance is now based on a euro exchange rate of $1.17, compared with just above parity at the start of the year.
The company said preliminary sales in the second quarter were 4.6 billion euros, with a 300-million-euro operating profit.

US economy returns to growth in second quarter on tariff turbulence
The US economy returned to growth in the second quarter, government data showed Wednesday, but analysts flagged distortions from swings in trade flows over President Donald Trump's tariffs. The world's biggest economy expanded by an annual rate of 3.0 percent in the April to June period, beating economists' expectations and reversing a 0.5 percent decline in the first three months of the year, said the Department of Commerce. This swiftly prompted Trump to ramp up pressure for an interest rate cut, saying on social media that Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell "must now lower the rate." Trump's comments come hours before the Fed announces its latest interest rate decision. A consensus forecast by had expected a 2.5 percent GDP growth rate. Second quarter growth "was bolstered by a sharp reversal in trade flows skewed by the tariffs," said Nationwide chief economist Kathy Bostjancic. An underlying GDP measure slowed to "slowed to a sluggish 1.2 percent from 1.9 percent in the first quarter," painting a more accurate picture of economic activity, she added. Real consumer and business spending advanced only moderately, after households brought forward purchases, she said. Businesses meanwhile held off spending on heightened policy uncertainty. At the start of the year, companies rushed to stock up on products to avoid the worst of Trump's threatened tariff hikes -- but the build-up has been unwinding. "The increase in real GDP in the second quarter primarily reflected a decrease in imports, which are a subtraction in the calculation of GDP," said the Commerce Department. The uptick also reflected an increase in consumer spending, the report said. The imports surge in the first quarter led to the largest drag on GDP growth from net exports on record, analysts at Goldman Sachs noted recently. Analysts anticipated a bounce back as imports cooled but said this might not be sustainable. Economists have also warned that Trump's tariff hikes could cause an inflation uptick, which in turn stands to erode households' spending power and influence consumption patterns. Since returning to the presidency, Trump has rolled out wave after wave of fresh duties. These included a 10 percent levy on almost all US partners, higher duties on steel, aluminum and auto imports, alongside separate actions against Canada and Mexico, blaming them for illegal immigration and illicit fentanyl flows. Washington separately took aim at the world's number two economy, China, as Beijing pushed back on US tariffs. Both countries ended up imposing tit-for-tat duties on each other's products, reaching triple-digit levels and snarling trade flows before they agreed to temporarily lower levies. After talks in the Swedish capital of Stockholm this week, negotiators signaled there could be an extension of the truce -- although the final call depends on Trump. - Shifting to lower gear - "Beneath the topline figure, the economy is switching to a lower gear but not going in reverse," said Oxford Economics' lead US economist Bernard Yaros. The economy's resilience will allow the Fed to "hold still and assess the unfolding tariff impact on consumer prices before pivoting to interest rates cuts in December," he added. For now, he said that "consumers are slowing their spending but not heading for the bunkers outright." Analysts are monitoring the impact of Trump's tariffs on inflation, with economists expecting to learn more from data in the summer months. All eyes are also on official employment data due Friday, after figures from payroll firm ADP showed Wednesday that private sector hiring beat expectations, increasing by 104,000 jobs in July and indicating a healthy economy. "The consumer is hanging in there, but still on edge until the trade deals are done," said Heather Long, chief economist at the Navy Federal Credit Union. "Meanwhile, business investment tanked in the second quarter. Companies do not want to invest in equipment, buildings or hiring with this much uncertainty," she added. "There's no recession in sight, but certainty is needed to get the economy fully back on track," she said. By Beiyi Seow

IMF keeps SA growth forecast unchanged but increases global growth forecast
The IMF has more hope for global economic growth than for South Africa's economic growth, with US tariffs shaping the outlook. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has kept South Africa's growth forecast unchanged at 1% for 2025, but increased its global growth forecast to 3% for this year. Although it is more optimistic about economic growth, the IMF has warned that US tariffs could be higher than expected. South Africa's growth is forecast to increase to 1.3% in 2026, while the global growth forecast to 3% increased from 2.8% in the April forecast, with the 2026 forecast at 3.1%. Presenting the IMF's latest World Economic Outlook Update, Pierre-Olivier Gourinchas, economic counsellor and director of the research department at the IMF, said global trade developments continue to shape the global economic outlook. 'After an unprecedented escalation in tariffs imposed on the rest of the world in April, the US partly reversed course, pausing the higher tariffs for most of its trading partners. This and a de-escalation of trade tensions with China in May, modestly reduced the US effective tariff rate from 24% to about 17%. 'Despite these welcome developments, tariffs remain historically high and global policy remains highly uncertain, with only a few countries reaching fully fleshed out trade agreements. This modest decline in trade tensions, however fragile, contributed to the resilience of the global economy so far.' ALSO READ: IMF cuts SA's economic growth projection – again This also helped global growth forecast, IMF says Gourinchas pointed out that these developments also helped: Concerns about future tariffs led to a strong surge in exports to the US in the first quarter of the year. This front-loading helped support activity in Europe and Asia. Financial conditions improved and monetary conditions eased as global inflation continues to recede, largely unchanged from the IMF's previous projections. The dollar depreciated by roughly 8% since January. 'As we already pointed out in April, the effect of tariffs on exchange rates can be complex. Previously, the tariffing country saw its currency appreciate, buffering the impact of the tariffs. However, this time around, the dollar depreciation amplified the impact of the tariff shock on other countries' competitiveness. With a stable value relative to the US dollar, the Chinese RMB tracked the dollar while the euro appreciated significantly. 'Accordingly, we revised our growth projections upwards from the April 2025 reference forecast, from 2.8% to 3.0% this year and from 3.0% to 3.1% next year.' He said most regions are experiencing modest growth upgrades this year as well as next year, but warned that while this resilience is welcome, it is also tenuous. 'While the trade shock could turn out to be less severe than initially feared, it is still sizeable and evidence is mounting that it is hurting the global economy. For instance, compared to our pre-April forecast, global growth is revised downwards by 0.2 percentage points this year. At around 3%, global growth remains disappointingly below the pre-Covid average.' ALSO READ: G20 finance officials say downside risks dominate global economic outlook – IMF IMF also forecasts persistent decline in global trade due to US tariffs The IMF also continues to project a persistent decline in global trade as a share of output despite the recent front-loading, from 57% in 2024 to 53% in 2030. Gourinchas says risks to the global economy remain firmly to the downside, while the current trade environment remains precarious. 'Tariffs could well reset at much higher levels once the 'pause' expires on 1 August or if existing deals unravel. If this were the case, model-based simulations suggest global output would be 0.3% lower in 2026. 'Without comprehensive agreements, the ongoing trade uncertainty could increasingly weigh on investment and activity. In addition, while exports front-loading supported global activity so far, firms could become vulnerable if the demand for stockpiled goods does not materialise.' Gourinchas points out that the geopolitical environment also remains fragile, with a potential for more negative supply disruptions. 'While global inflation continues to decline, the latest price data suggests that inflation pressures are building gradually in the US. 'Overall, US import prices in dollars remained largely unchanged or even increased this year, suggesting that the cost of tariffs will be borne by US retailers, and eventually customers, as firms start to pass through higher costs into their prices.' He says in too many countries, the combination of high public debt and still elevated public deficits continue to be a cause for concern. 'The lack of fiscal space makes these countries especially vulnerable to a sudden tightening in financial conditions that increase term premia. 'Such tightening becomes even more likely if central bank independence, a cornerstone of macroeconomic, monetary and financial stability, is undermined.'

Trump hits India with 25% tariff and 'penalty' over Russia ties
US President Donald Trump said Wednesday that imports from India will face 25 percent tariffs, while also announcing an unspecified "penalty" over New Delhi's purchases of Russian weapons and energy. The measures will kick in on Friday, Trump posted on his Truth Social platform, adding to a bevy of other tariff hikes set to take effect the same day. In a separate post, Trump said the August 1 deadline "stands strong, and will not be extended." Trump has issued multiple delays to his so-called "reciprocal" tariffs since first announcing them in early April, while instituting an interim 10 percent baseline. The 25 percent tariff on India would be marginally lower than the rate announced in April, but is higher than those of other Asian countries that have struck preliminary trade agreements with Washington. India, the world's most populous country, was one of the first few major economies to engage the Trump administration in broader trade talks. But six months later, Trump's sweeping demands and India's reluctance to fully open its agricultural and dairy sectors have so far prevented New Delhi from sealing a deal. "Remember, while India is our friend, we have, over the years, done relatively little business with them because their Tariffs are far too high, among the highest in the World, and they have the most strenuous and obnoxious non-monetary Trade Barriers of any Country," Trump said Wednesday morning. He added that India has "always bought a vast majority of their military equipment from Russia, and are Russia's largest buyer of ENERGY, along with China, at a time when everyone wants Russia to STOP THE KILLING IN UKRAINE." In addition to the 25 percent tariff, India will face "a penalty for the above," Trump said, without any specification. The measure comes as the 79-year-old Republican has signaled he intends to tighten US pressure on Moscow to halt fighting in Ukraine and negotiate a peace deal. On Tuesday, Trump said he was giving Russian President Vladimir Putin 10 days -- which would mean the end of next week -- to change course in Ukraine or face new tariffs. He had previously threatened to impose "secondary tariffs" that would target Russia's remaining trade partners -- such as China and India -- seeking to impede Moscow's ability to survive already sweeping Western sanctions. - China trade talks - Trump has set out to upend the global economy by trying to leverage US economic power to squeeze trading partners with tariffs and force foreign companies to move to the United States. He has already announced deal outlines with five countries -- Britain, Vietnam, Japan, Indonesia and the Philippines -- as well as the one with the 27-nation EU. US and Chinese officials held talks this week in Stockholm on extending a trade truce that has temporarily lowered tariffs from soaring triple-digits. While no deal was announced at the meetings, both sides are eying an extension ahead of the August 12 deadline. Meanwhile Trump has threatened Brazil with 50 percent tariffs beginning Friday -- in part to pressure the South American ally to shut down the trial of far-right former president Jair Bolsonaro on coup charges.
