In global markets, a mixed outlook prevails after the selling pressure following the customs tariff exchange, influenced by negotiation optimism. President Donald Trump’s tariff steps continue to be a source of uncertainty on a global scale. Many countries announced yesterday that they would send delegations to the US for negotiations on tariffs, and the flow of news on this subject helped alleviate the risk perception in the equity markets to some extent.Trump, yesterday, in response to a question about whether tariffs are a negotiation strategy or permanent, said, “Tariffs could be permanent or there may be negotiations. Because we need things beyond tariffs.” President Trump also reiterated that they will impose an additional tariff of 50% on China if the country does not withdraw the 34% retaliatory tariffs announced in response to reciprocal tariffs. Analysts noted that Trump’s remarks about a moderate approach to negotiations on tariffs were at the center of investors’ attention, stating that with the upcoming negotiations, the rates of reciprocal tariffs could be relaxed. WILL THERE BE AN INTEREST RATE CUT IN THE US? Yesterday, with increased risk perception and concerns that growth rates may be jeopardized after tariffs, pricing for the Fed’s interest rate reduction process changed in the money markets, and it is currently estimated that the Fed will start the first interest rate cut of the year in June in parallel with past projections in the money markets. Following these developments, recoveries in bond yields are being observed, with the current 10-year US Treasury bond yield at 4.15%, and the dollar index at 102.9 levels, down 0.5%. The price of an ounce of gold closed yesterday at $2,982 with a 1.8% decrease, and it is trading at $3,000 with a 0.5% gain in the new day. The barrel price of Brent crude oil is also at $64.9 with a 0.9% increase.
