Renewed US tariff uncertainty adds a fresh layer of volatility across markets. For FX, the euro could see near-term choppiness if transatlantic tensions escalate, though reduced trade friction would be medium-term supportive. European exporters and globally exposed equities remain vulnerable to renewed tariff risk, while safe-haven flows into core bonds such as Bunds could strengthen if policy instability deepens. From an inflation perspective, any revival of tariffs risks re-introducing goods-price pressures, complicating the disinflation path for both the euro area and the United States.

Lagarde signals intent to finish ECB term, amid politically sensitive succession chatter.
