Main risks
- A heavy schedule of Fed speakers could reinforce a hawkish message, pressuring rates and credit.
- Broader US tariff powers tied to Russian energy purchases could raise costs for China and India, unsettling trade talks.
- A slower Australian investment environment is already driving Macquarie infrastructure unit staff cuts and deal scarcity.
Corresponding source evidence
US President Trump also signed legislation giving him substantially broader powers to impose tariffs on countries buying Russian oil and gas, potentially raising the cost of energy and trade for China and India in particular.
Separately China also left the one and five-year LPRs unchanged at 3.00% and 3.50% respectively.
More importantly, a heavy schedule of Fed speakers could reinforce the hawkish message.
