Commentary: It’s a small mercy that Trump has ignored services thus far

1 week ago | channelnewsasia.com | Daniel Moss

SINGAPORE: Donald Trump’s fixation with tariffs – whether he’s unleashing or suspending them – has almost nothing to recommend it. The past two weeks have eroded the credibility of American decision-making, dented the allure of US capital markets, and may well be the catalyst for a recession. The levies harm allies along with adversaries. They also focus on goods: what rolls off assembly lines or comes from the ground. That’s no small mercy.

Services have so far flown under Washington’s radar. (Bloomberg Opinion) -- Donald Trump’s fixation with tariffs — whether he’s unleashing or suspending them — has almost nothing to recommend it. The past two weeks have eroded the credibility of American decision-making, dented the allure of US capital markets, and may well be the catalyst for a recession. The levies harm allies along with adversaries. They also focus on goods: what rolls off assembly lines or comes from the ground.

Tariffs Leave Central Banks Out in the Cold

Central banks have been upstaged by Trump’s tariff chaos. (Bloomberg Opinion) -- Donald Trump has set about breaking the post-1945 trading system. He’s also remaking who rules the airwaves, and central banks have been pushed into a secondary role. While the shift may be temporary, it’s notable. They may well be left to clean up the mess Trump has created with tariffs, but for now it's comments from the US president that matter most, not those from Jerome Powell, Christine Lagarde or Kazuo Ueda.

Vietnam Should Have Seen This Tariff Hit Coming

3 weeks ago | bloomberg.com | Daniel Moss

The nation adopted a textbook approach to growth with relish and became a favorite with investors. Its sin was to be too successful. The imposition of aggressive US tariffs has been greeted with a surplus of strong reactions, almost none of them good. Bewilderment and dismay are among the more sanitized responses from trading partners. To their great disappointment, Washington's friends haven't been spared, even those with whom it trades on very favorable terms.

China Has a Chance to Play Elder Economic Statesman

3 weeks ago | bloomberg.com | Daniel Moss

Beijing retaliated against US tariffs, but avoided a dramatic escalation. Trump has handed Xi a big PR opportunity. China has an opportunity to act as an elder statesman, thanks to the spectacular own goals of Donald Trump’s tariffs. Usually cast as a disruptor of the postwar economic order, and sometimes relishing the reputation, Beijing has much to gain in the public-relations arena. The challenger can now present as the defender of the system. This is a soft-powergift.
Who, Exactly, Is Trump Liberating With Tariffs?

3 weeks ago | bloomberg.com | Daniel Moss

Global trade and investment hasn’t looked too oppressive for US manufacturers. Many of Washington’s friends benefited as well. Donald Trump has offered varying justifications for tariffs, depending on his audience and what's expedient at any moment. When the president chooses to mount an economic case for levies, it usually comes with the contention that trading partners are ripping off Americans. Factories need to come home — to the extent they ever left — and duties will do the trick.
Prabowo tries to remake Indonesia, but at what cost?

3 weeks ago | japantimes.co.jp | Daniel Moss |Karishma Vaswani

It didn't take Prabowo Subianto long to abandon his carefully cultivated image as an avuncular figure devoted to his cats. The makeover, which propelled the former top general to the presidency of Indonesia after two failed attempts, served its purpose. His inaugural address in October was a very different story, replete with martial rhetoric and purpose. Citizens were urged to show patriotism, courage — and no small amount of ambition. Investors would welcome a bit less aspiration.
