Top fund managers say that Trump's tariff plan is influenced or less than expected by the negotiation strategy.

Johnson expressed a similar view, adding that such measures are often "inflationary".The Baltic dry bulk freight index hit a 15-month low, and the Baltic dry bulk freight index fell by 12 points or 1.03% to 1156 points, the lowest level since September 2023.

(CSI)Bank for International Settlements: Swap spreads are reflecting investors' concerns about excessive bond supply. The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) pointed out that huge government loans are having an impact on the global interest rate market, saying that investors have demanded higher premiums for buying sovereign bonds. In its quarterly report released on Tuesday, the agency pointed out that the swap spreads of various currencies and maturities have narrowed rapidly in recent months, which are "signs of possible oversupply". As investors are worried about huge debt and deficit expansion, the yields of government bonds in the euro zone and Japan have recently exceeded comparable swap rates. This leads to the so-called swap spread becoming negative. Because national debt is usually regarded as a safer investment than interest rate swap, it is unusual for the swap spread to enter the negative range. According to the Bank for International Settlements, the negative swap spread seems to reflect the pressure faced by investors and intermediaries because they need to absorb more government bonds in the near future. In the United States, the swap spreads for some maturities have been negative for many years.Swedish Ministry of Finance: Sweden's priorities in 2025 include growth and productivity.
