While Trump’s economic guns are all trained on China, Scott Bessent is on his way to Japan – a major owner and buyer of US treasuries….remember the carry trade unwind panic of mid-last year…?
Closer to home, we hope that the UK is next on Bessent’s list, with a trade deal in the offing. Small-cap news was from Nexus Infrastructure, Beeks and SDI Group.
Big data next week includes China GDP (required to be c.5%), UK inflation for March, US retail sales and hopefully a rate-cut from the European Central Bank.
