ECB | Global Trade Redirection: Tracking the Role of Trade Diversion from US Tariffs in Chinese Export Developments

Global trade flows were reshaped in 2025 following the introduction of new US tariffs. US import growth weakened sharply, reflecting a strong decline in imports from China. Meanwhile, Chinese exports have surprised to the upside overall, with broad-based growth across destinations outside the United States. A key question is whether this resilience reflects trade diversion in response to the US tariffs, i.e. the reallocation of exports originally destined for one market towards alternative markets, or other adjustment mechanisms, such as...

IMF | Stock-Bond Diversification Offers Less Protection From Market Selloffs

Blog  Diversification has become harder since 2020 as stocks and bonds tend to move in tandem during sharp selloffs, adding to financial stability concerns Spreading investments across asset classes can reduce risk and smooth returns. The classic diversification between stocks and bonds worked historically because they moved in opposite directions. When stocks fell, investors sought safety in bonds. Bonds rallied, cushioning losses and stabilizing portfolios. Since the start of the pandemic period—with supply shocks that fueled inflation—bonds have become less effective in...

ECB | Opening remarks by Christine Lagarde, President of the ECB, at a roundtable discussion on “Chain Reaction: Navigating Geoeconomic Shifts and Dependencies” at the Munich Security Conference, Germany

Munich, 14 February 2026 It is a mark of how much our world has changed that a central banker speaks at the Munich Security Conference on supply chains. A decade ago, this would have seemed like a category error. Today, everyone in this room recognises that trade is as much a security issue as an economic one. Economic interdependence has deepened substantially in recent decades, creating intricate webs of cross-border trade flows. Where this was once seen as a source of stability,...

      Trepp | Supreme Court Tariff Ruling: Implications for Commercial Real Estate

      The Supreme Court’s decision limiting the administration’s use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act removes the emergency-based foundation of the recent reciprocal tariff structure while leaving other statutory tariffs in place. The ruling effectively lowers the overall tariff burden, pushing the estimated effective tariff rate from 12.7% to roughly 8.3%. It also leaves unresolved whether more than $175 billion in previously collected duties will be refunded, introducing a question that may take time to sort out materialize. Markets responded...

      Highlights Today, the U.S. Supreme Court issued its decision on tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA).

This decision does not affect...

      Jaguar Freight | IMPORTANT NOTICE: U.S. Supreme Court Strikes Down IEEPA Tariffs

      ALERT: Trump's IEEPA Tariffs Struck Down Today, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the broad “reciprocal” tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) in a 6–3 ruling.
