Why markets don't seem to care about the fuzzy details of Trump's trade deals
President Trump's recent trade framework announcements have included sketchy initial details that can take days to fill in and sometimes are even contradicted by those on the other side of the table. Yet markets don't seem to mind this emerging pattern. In fact, the signal investors are apparently taking from these pacts from Europe to Japan to Vietnam is one of increased stability down the road. Even vague details are perhaps better than the ups and downs of negotiations — or the worse outcomes that had previously been on the table. As Mark Malek, Siebert Financial CIO, put it recently on Yahoo Finance, what is known about these complex deals to investors "basically fit into an index card [and] they are basically leaving it all to us to figure out." But Malek added that markets have remained stable because of the overall signal that worst case scenarios are being avoided "so I think for the most part we're happy." Whether that happiness continues remains to be seen with plenty of moving trade pieces still on offer. Negotiations continue with Europe as trade watchers await a formal joint statement on the deal and negotiators still apparently at work to lock in legally binding text. Other major talks — like those with India — remain outstanding and talks with China continue Tuesday in Sweden amid continuing expectation-setting from both sides that another 90-day pause is in the offing. The economic effects of the deals are also starting to come into focus based on what details are available. The latest analysis from the Budget Lab at Yale found that consumers are set to face an overall average effective tariff rate of 18.2% — the highest since 1934 — if all the tariffs announced through Monday go forward. Despite that over 90 year high, markets have continued to be relatively sanguine. Another way to explain the market's relatively subdued response was put forth by Tobin Marcus of Wolfe Research. He outlined in a recent note that what is known may be sketchy but it's "a bullish outcome v. the range of possibilities, especially the reduction of sectoral tariffs to 15%" — adding that this emerging 15% standard is "better-than-feared." He added that markets also appear to have shifted and instead of a previous hope for a dynamic of "escalate to deescalate" — that is to a say a tense standoff followed by a deal to lower rates — the dynamic now apparently being priced in is one he termed an "escalate-to-escalate-less." Often fuzzy math And the fuzziness of the details is a pattern that has been repeated and appears likely to continue. Earlier this month, Trump announced a deal with Vietnam that included a 20% tariff rate. Later reporting from Bloomberg revealed that Vietnam's leadership was caught off guard by the number and continues to want a lower rate. Likewise in a deal last week with Japan. First, Trump announced a deal including plans for a "new Japanese/USA investment vehicle" even as questions cropped up immediately about what that would entail, with the US and Japanese side offering vastly different accounts. It happened again with a Europe deal announced this weekend that saw Trump suggest the new 15% rate did not apply to sector-specific tariffs at one point calling pharmaceuticals "unrelated to this deal." While 50% tariffs currently levied on steel and aluminum (and on planned duties at the same rate on copper) will remain outside the pact, pharmaceuticals and semiconductors appear very much part of the European deal. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said the overall 15% rate would apply and, by Monday, the White House confirmed that account with a deal fact sheet that the 15% rate will apply to "autos and auto parts, pharmaceuticals, and semiconductors." As Terry Haines, Pangaea Policy Founder, put it on Yahoo Finance Monday: "The way markets have been looking at these deals, kind of the fact of the deal is much more important than the details."

Siebert Financial Launches 'Generation Wealth' Campaign to Reframe Investing for Gen Z
Developed by in-house agency Gebbia Media, the campaign embraces indulgence, digital culture, and a new take on financial empowerment MIAMI and NEW YORK, July 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Siebert Financial Corp. (NASDAQ: SIEB) is flipping the script on how financial services connect with Gen Z. Today, the firm announced the launch of 'Generation Wealth,' a bold, multi-platform campaign built by its in-house creative agency, Gebbia Media, to meet young investors on their terms and in their language. The campaign rejects outdated tropes of austerity and lectures. Instead, it taps into Gen Z's unapologetic relationship with money: one where indulgence and responsibility can co-exist. The core message: You can have your cake and eat it too, if you know how to manage your money. "This is not about dumbing down financial information. Gen Z is financially savvy, just on a different wavelength,' said Stefano Marrone, Chief Marketing Officer of Siebert Financial and Creative Lead on the campaign. 'They invest, they save, they hustle. What they don't do is respond to outdated messaging. Generation Wealth is our answer to that, serious financial information, delivered with culture and relevance.' The campaign features a cast of creators and influencers with non-traditional paths to wealth: young athletes, musicians, lifestyle tastemakers, reflecting the diversity and ambition of this generation. The tone is aspirational without being preachy, borrowing visual cues from fashion and street culture rather than boardrooms and bank branches. 'Finance brands love to lecture. We don't," said David Gebbia, CEO of Gebbia Media. 'This campaign is about showing up where Gen Z already is, with visuals and stories that actually speak to their goals and lifestyle. It's about flipping the narrative from restriction to ownership." Running across digital, social, out-of-home, and creator-led content, Generation Wealth's customer service engine is powered by a team of young Siebert wealth managers, real professionals who know the markets and understand the mindset of young investors. From TikTok to transit screens, the content invites a generation often misunderstood by traditional finance to invest with confidence and without compromise. 'Connecting with the next generation of investors is not optional but vital,' said John J. Gebbia, CEO of Siebert Financial. 'Generation Wealth reflects our broader strategy: embracing innovation, not just in what we build, but in how we build our brand. We've adopted AI across the business, and we're not afraid to experiment. That's how you stay relevant. That's how you grow.' Generation Wealth is more than a campaign. It's part of a broader commitment by Siebert to actively engage the next generation of investors. This includes investing in tech-forward platforms, building digital-first products, and becoming one of the first financial firms to integrate AI tools across content, communications, and client services. Siebert isn't just evolving what it offers, but also how it presents itself in its customers' feeds and media. The campaign launches in July across U.S. markets, with the first wave of influencer content and digital media. Out-of-home placements are set to roll out in Miami first, followed by New York and Los Gebbia MediaGebbia Media is an artist-first entertainment company focused on the development and promotion of music and sports talent, catalog acquisition, and bold storytelling across film, television, podcasts, and digital media.
