The dollar surged while equity markets and digital currencies plunged after President Donald Trump made good on his threat to impose tariffs on imports from Canada, Mexico and China. The rapid escalation in trade tensions rippled through markets. European and US stock futures slumped, while an index of Asia-Pacific shares dropped the most in nearly six months. Fears the action will stoke price pressures also spurred a rise in the yields on two-year US Treasuries, while the Canadian dollar sank to its weakest since 2003 and emerging market currencies such as the Indian rupee and the Mexican peso also posted losses. The Opening Trade has everything you need to know as markets open across Europe. With analysis you won’t find anywhere else, we break down the biggest stories of the day and speak to top guests who have skin in the game. Hosted by Anna Edwards, Guy Johnson and Kriti Gupta.
