To say these last few weeks have been volatile is a gross understatement. Donald Trump recently unleashed a wave of tariffs which have sent the global markets into flux. In this episode, we try to unpack the unfolding mayhem and assess how the markets are reacting by looking at US/UK government bond yields, the S&P 500, the FTSE100, the US Dollar index and the price of gold in the last two weeks. We round off the episode by looking the micro effects of this global trade war and investigate how deal uncertainty has led to the deployment of force majeure clauses and resulted in abortive transactions. We also take a look at how lawyers will be assisting clients with their liability management via hedging while covering the main risks keeping investors up at night during this crisis.I hope you enjoy the episode.
