in the wake of the president’s “liberation day” tariff announcement earlier
this month. The CNBC Magnificent 7
Index has declined about 5% since then. Apple has notably been among
the hardest hit names, as the iPhone maker lost nearly
$640 billion in market cap in the three trading days following the
announcement.
Last
week marked one of the most
volatile trading weeks on record for the Street. The CBOE Volatility Index spiked
above 50 on Thursday, with stocks giving up some of their historic
gains seen a day earlier. On Wednesday, the market soared after Trump announced
a 90-day
reprieve for a number of his new tariff rates, seeing its third-biggest
one-day gain since World War II.
“The
mid-week delay on some non-China tariffs, along with solid banks earnings and
optimism about Fed intervention (should it be needed) at the end of the week
helped fuel the gains in US equities, with some also attributing Wednesday’s
bounce to short covering,” said Lori Calvasina, head of U.S. equity strategy at
RBC Capital Markets. “For the moment, this seems to have offset the concerns
that emerged about the bond market and recession worries.”
Despite
last week’s rally, all three major averages are still down sharply since the
so-called reciprocal tariffs were announced. The S&P 500 has dropped 5.4%,
while the Nasdaq Composite and Dow Jones Industrial Average have
fallen about 5% and 4.8%, respectively.
The
market is gearing up for a major week of earnings, with results from more big
banks such as Goldman Sachs, Bank of America and Citigroup on the docket. Other
key names, including streaming giant Netflix and major
carrier United Airlines,
are also set to report.

Trump's
iPhone olive branch is a significant trade war retreat
13

Well,
well, well.
In
a US customs messaging note quietly slipped out in the early hours of Saturday,
a series of numbers were listed as exempt from the 125% tariff on goods
entering the country from China.
The
code "8517.13.00.00" means very little to most of the world, but in
the US customs list it represents smartphones.
The
inclusion meant the number one Chinese export to America by value last year was
exempted from the import taxes, alongside other electronic devices and
components, including semiconductors, solar cells and memory cards.
In
the context of the US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick just days ago
announcing that part of the point of escalating tariffs on China was to bring
back iPhone production to the US, this was a stunning about-turn.
The
US has now excluded the single biggest Chinese export, and certainly the most
high-profile finished good from tariffs, without publicly announcing it at
first.
It
is worth considering what would have happened in the absence of this exemption.
The
effect of 125% tariffs on Apple's Zhengzhou manufacturing facility in eastern
China would have started to show in weeks at most American Apple stores. It
would have been a totemic "sticker shock" for the White House's
tumultuous tariff push.
According
to Counterpoint, a global technology market research firm, as much as 80% of
Apple's iPhones intended for US sale are made in China.
The
tech giant's manufacturing profit margins are estimated to be between 40-60%.
Typical iPhone prices might have moved closer to $2,000 (£1,528) than $1,000.
The other option for Apple could have been to spread the cost across all of its
global prices, but would the rest of the world accept paying a Trump tariff
tax?

Trump
exempts phones, computers, chips from new tariffs
Published
Sat, Apr 12 2025 9:19 AM EDT Updated Sat, Apr 12 2025 1:26 PM EDT
President Donald Trump exempted smartphones, computers, and other tech
devices and components from his reciprocal tariffs, new guidance from U.S. Customs and Border Protection shows.
The
guidance, issued late Friday evening, comes after Trump earlier this month
imposed 145% tariffs on products from China, a move that threatened to take a
toll on tech giants like Apple, which
makes iPhones and most of
its other products in China.
The
guidance also includes exclusions for other electronic devices and components,
including semiconductors, solar cells, flat panel TV displays, flash drives,
and memory cards.
The White
House said
on Saturday the exemptions were made because Trump wants to ensure that
companies have time to move production to the U.S.
White
House deputy press secretary Kush Desai said in a statement that Trump “has
made it clear America cannot rely on China to manufacture critical technologies
such as semiconductors, chips, smartphones, and laptops.”
“At
the direction of the President, these companies are hustling to onshore their
manufacturing in the United States as soon as possible,” Desai said.
The
20 product categories listed in the CBP guidelines are apparently exempt from
the 125% tariff imposed by Trump on Chinese imports and the 10% baseline tariff
on imports from other countries. A 20% tariff on all Chinese goods remains in
effect.
CNBC
has asked the White House and CBP to confirm the total effective tariff rate on
the exempted products but so far has received no definitive answer.
The
exemptions are a win for tech companies like Apple, which makes the majority of
its products in China. The country manufactures 80% of iPads and more than half
of Mac computers produced, according to Evercore ISI.
“This
is the dream scenario for tech investors,” Dan Ives, global head of technology
research at Wedbush Securities, told CNBC. “Smartphones, chips being excluded
is a game changer scenario when it comes to China tariffs.”
----
In the days since Trump’s tariff announcement, Apple lost over $640 billion in
market value, CNBC previously
reported.
The cost of an iPhone under Trump’s tariff plan could have ballooned to as high
as $3,500 under some estimates.

These
unusual market moves show trust in the dollar may be breaking
13
April 2025
Something
strange is happening in the US.
As
investors batten down the hatches over fears of a tariff-fuelled financial crisis, a rare split has opened up
between the dollar and the yields that America’s government pays on its debts.
While
somewhat technical, this essentially means that the Green Back is plunging at the same time as US
borrowing costs are rising.
Already,
this trend has panicked investors, who note that the two key financial metrics
usually do the opposite by moving in tandem.
Worse
still, stock markets have also taken a pummelling since Donald Trump’s trade
war unleashed a wave of economic turmoil.
Combined,
the falling dollar and rising yields reflect the shifting fiscal landscape in
America, where the US President’s tariff blitz has put the country’s safe haven status at risk.
Christian
Keller at Barclays notes how far the US has fallen since Trump ramped up his
trade war earlier this month.
“A
parallel sell-off in equity, rates and the currency is typical for emerging
markets, but not for the world’s core safe-haven markets,” he says.
Investors
had become used to the idea that the US was the best place for their money in
good times or bad, giving America the “exorbitant privilege” of controlling the
world’s reserve currency.
It
meant lower borrowing costs and easy access to a flood of foreign money to
invest in the States, making the country richer and helping its economy to grow
faster.
But
suddenly, investors are turning their backs on the US, ditching the dollar and
other assets all at once.
It
represents a stunning reversal of usual patterns of behaviour, breaking what
had come to be seen as something close to a basic rule of global finance.
The
result is that the dollar and bond yields, which by and large tend to move in
tandem, have sharply diverged.
Even
after the President suspended his most aggressive tariffs on almost all
countries apart from China, markets have failed to comply.
Since
April 2, which Trump called “liberation day”, the dollar has fallen more than
4pc and the yield on 10-year US bonds has risen from 4.2pc to 4.5pc.
Keller
says the moves are a remarkable break with history.
“The
dollar’s depreciation in response to US tariff increases – the opposite of
economic textbook doctrine – and the US Treasury sell-off in parallel to equity
losses – the opposite of safe-haven behaviour – have cast a broader light on
the overall dynamics triggered by Trump’s tariff policy,” he says.

“Hangover” is Likely as Trade Wars Heat Up
APRIL
2025
March
represented yet another set of twists and turns in what has been a multi-year
progression of unprecedented supply, demand, and pricing dynamics in the new
vehicle marketplace.
This
latest development comes in the form of tariff-related effects, with the Trump
Administration implementing levies on materials and parts and moving toward
adding surcharges on major vehicle systems and on vehicles coming from outside
the United States.
As
these actions are moving from threat to implementation, prices have already
risen more than $1,000 at retail and have reversed a declining trend that had
been playing out for the past eight months. These recent increases come in the
form of less aggressive incentives by OEMs and shallower discounts at
dealerships. Both changes reflect how cost uncertainties are driving initial
and preemptive price hikes throughout the industry. And as deeper and broader
tariffs are now being contemplated and enacted, the potential for consumer cost
increases goes from in the hundreds of dollars to the thousands.
Consumers,
in anticipation of these higher prices, rushed to buy new vehicles in the
current period, with Vehicles Moved hitting a level (1.3MM) not seen since May
2021. While this provided a boost in the short run, the ”pull ahead” effect of
these accelerated sales (estimated to be 153,000 in March) runs the risk of
leading to a hangover effect that depresses results going forward. That risk is
exacerbated if prices run up quickly, if the tariffs remain in place for a long
period of time, and—particularly—if they spark a retaliatory and escalating
trade war that pushes costs and prices even higher than the initial salvos
would suggest.
While
the timing, scope, and duration of these tariffs cannot be predicted, the actions
and reactions that they spark are already evident. What can also be said is
that OEMs and their partners who closely monitor the real time impact of these
events on supply, demand, and pricing—and who implement appropriate actions to
mitigate threats and take advantage of opportunities—will have an advantage in
today’s (and tomorrow’s) volatile automotive marketplace

Investors
are growing concerned about a U.S. asset exodus as Treasuries and the dollar
decline
Published
Sat, Apr 12 2025 7:49 AM EDT
The
April sell-off for financial markets has been wider and more volatile than
typical pullbacks, fueling concern that the aggressive and constantly changing
trade policy from Washington, D.C. could be doing long-term damage to the
financial standing of the U.S.
The S&P 500 has now
dropped 5.4% since President Donald Trump’s April 2 tariff announcement, with
day-to-day moves that are drawing uncomfortable comparisons to infamous
financial periods like 2008 and 1987. The drop over the past seven trading days
comes after the stock market had already had a rocky start to 2025, and other
major U.S. asset classes have also started to slide, including the dollar and
Treasurys.
“The
big takeaway from this year, from the Trump presidency, from everything that’s
happened, is that there’s a rotation out of the U.S. And obviously that’s
become vicious now — with bond yields staying high and the dollar falling, it’s
become the story. But that exodus started well before Liberation Day. ... U.S.
is the bubble. U.S. All of it,” Marco Papic, BCA Research strategist, said
Friday on “Squawk Box.”
The
big swings in the stock market are eye-popping on their own, but Wall Street
pros are becoming increasingly concerned about the moves in the currency and
bond markets. Treasurys and the dollar typically benefit from flight-to-safety
environments, a function of the U.S.′ historical financial strength.
But
on Friday, falling bond prices pushed the benchmark 10-year Treasury yield briefly
above 4.5%, up from 3.99% just a week prior. Meanwhile, the ICE U.S. Dollar Index hit its
lowest level in three years. The greenback has seen particularly sharp drops
against safe-haven currencies like the Japanese yen and Swiss franc, as well as
the euro.
“The
market is re-assessing the structural attractiveness of the dollar as the
world’s global reserve currency and is undergoing a process of rapid
de-dollarization. Nowhere is this more evident than the continued and combined
collapse in the currency and US bond market as this week comes to a close,”
Deutsche Bank strategist George Saravelos said in a note to clients Friday.

Asset
flight challenges US safe haven status
April
11, 2025
The
US has long been considered a financial safe haven. The sell-off of the dollar,
stocks and Treasury bonds in a spree sparked by panic at President Donald
Trump's trade war is starting to raise questions about if that's still true.
-
What happened this week to US assets? -
US
equities and the greenback have been under pressure for weeks. This week, the
volatility spread to the US Treasury market, long considered by global
investors to be a refuge.
On
Wednesday morning before Trump announced he was pausing many of his most
onerous tariffs for 90 days, yields on both the 10-year and 30-year US Treasury
bonds spiked suddenly.
Trump's
pivot -- which sparked a mammoth equity market rally Wednesday afternoon --
also provided temporary relief to the US Treasury market. But yields began
rising again on Thursday.
"There's
clearly a flight from US bonds," said Steve Sosnick of Interactive
Brokers. "That money is flowing out of the US bond market and doing so
very quickly."
JPMorgan
Chase CEO Jamie Dimon rejected the notion that US Treasuries were no longer a
haven, but acknowledged an impact from recent market volatility.
"It
does change the nature a little bit from the certainty point of
view," Dimon said Friday, while adding that the United States still stands
out as safe "in this turbulent world."
-
Why are investors fleeing US bonds? -
The
most obvious reason is that the near-term outlook on the US economy has
deteriorated, with more economists betting on a recession due to tariff-related
inflation and a slowdown in business investment amid policy uncertainty.
That's
a big shift from just 80 days ago at the World Economic Forum where
"everyone talked about US supremacy," BlackRock CEO Larry Fink said
Friday.
Analysts
also see the reaction as stemming from Trump's policies such as his
"America First" agenda that frays ties with other countries and his
proposed tax cuts that could mean bigger US deficits.
"Unconventional
policies that gamble with a country's public finances and/or its growth outlook
can cause bond investors to question the assumption that government debt is
risk free," said a note from Berenberg Economics.
"The
breakdown in the relationship between US Treasury yields and the dollar
highlights the concerns of investors about Donald Trump's policy agenda,"
Berenberg said.
Analysts
have said some of the selling in US Treasuries is likely from equity investors
who need to raise cash quickly. There has also been speculation that the
Chinese government could liquidate US Treasury holdings in the US-China trade
war, although such a move would also badly hit Beijing.

Mortgage
rates surge over 7% as tariffs hit bond market
Published
Fri, Apr 11 2025 1:55 PM EDT Updated Fri, Apr 11 2025 3:25 PM EDT
The
average rate on the popular 30-year fixed mortgage surged 13 basis points
Friday to 7.1%, according to Mortgage News Daily. That’s the highest rate since
mid-February.
Mortgage
rates have been on a roller coaster ride all week, as bond yields spiked higher
mid-week when
President Donald Trump’s new tariffs on dozens of countries went into effect.
Yields dropped when Trump lowered the tariff
rate on most countries hours later. Tariffs on Chinese imports,
however, currently stand at 145%.
But bonds began
selling off again Friday, despite a cooler-than-expected inflation report.
Mortgage rates loosely follow the yield on the 10-year Treasury.
“There
have been some bad weeks for bonds here and there over the careers of most
anyone who’s alive to read these words, but unless your career began before
1981, you just lived through the worst week you’ve ever seen in terms of the
jump in 10-year yields,” said Matthew Graham, chief operating officer at
Mortgage News Daily.
Graham
said there are two ways to look at where bonds are trading today: “This is
either the end of the worst week for 10-year yields since 1981 or the end of a
fairly average two weeks that fit right in with the trend of the past 18
months.”
On
Friday, another monthly report on
consumer sentiment came
in substantially lower than expected. The expectation for inflation jumped from
5% in March to 6.7% in April, the highest level since 1981.
All
of this comes right in the heart of the all-important spring housing market.
For most consumers, a home is their single largest investment.
“Forget
about housing in this environment, with mortgage rates back up, consumers
certainly concerned about the job market, housing will also be on the weak
side,” said Nancy Lazar, chief global economist at Piper Sandler, on
CNBC’s “The Exchange” on Friday.

Pt nano-catalyst
with graphene pockets enhances fuel cell durability and efficiency
April
12, 2025
The
manufacturing and deployment of hybrid and electric vehicles is on the rise,
contributing to ongoing efforts to decarbonize the transport industry. While
cars and smaller vehicles can be powered using lithium batteries, electrifying
heavy-duty vehicles, such as trucks and large buses, has so far proved much
more challenging.
Fuel
cells, devices that generate electricity via chemical reactions, are promising
solutions for powering heavy-duty vehicles. Most of the fuel cells employed so
far are so-called proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs), cells that
generate electricity via the reaction of hydrogen and oxygen, conducting
protons from their anode to their cathode utilizing a solid polymer membrane.
Despite
their potential, many existing fuel cells have limited lifetimes and
efficiencies. These limitations have so far hindered their widespread adoption
in the manufacturing of electric or hybrid trucks, buses and other heavy-truck
vehicles.
A
research group at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), led by
Professor Yu Huang, recently designed a new platinum (Pt)-based nano-catalyst,
a material that speeds up chemical reactions and could help to improve the
efficiency and durability of fuel cells. This catalyst, presented in a paper published
in Nature Nanotechnology, consists of Pt nanoparticles, protected
by graphene nanopockets and supported on a form of carbon known as Ketjenblack.
"Our
research emerged from an urgent need to decarbonize heavy-duty vehicles (HDVs),
such as long-haul trucks, which require extended operational range and
durability," Huang, senior author of the paper, told Phys.org. "Fuel
cells represent a promising solution for electrifying HDVs due to their
superior system-level mass-specific energy density compared to batteries.
However, a major obstacle is catalyst stability."
Platinum
and other alloy metals typically used to fabricate catalysts for PEMFCs tend to
gradually dissolve and some of their atoms are redeposited onto other
particles, causing them to become larger. This process reduces the area of the
catalyst that can speed up reactions in fuel cells, ultimately causing their
performance to decline over time.
"Motivated
by this challenge, our team at UCLA developed a Pt-based catalyst with an
innovative protective yet permeable structure," said Huang. "Our
primary goal was to design a catalyst architecture that effectively prevents
metal dissolution and maintains high catalytic activity over prolonged
use."
