Wah! U.S. Trade Deals: Will They Punch Through the Uncertainty?

Good or Bad: The Trade Winds Are Blowin'!

Hey hey! Jackie Chan here! So these trade deals huh? They're like trying to catch a fly with chopsticks – tricky tricky! President Trump says letters are goin' out tellin' countries if they get a deal or if they get the 'whack' with tariffs. Remember sometimes you have to get hit in order to learn and sometimes it's a 'no mistake' situation.

July 9th Deadline? More Like 'Die Hard' Deadline!

This July 9th deadline is like one of my movie stunts – dangerous and unpredictable! The EU is sayin' they're makin' 'good progress,' but remember what I always say: 'Don't think I'm so strong I just know how to fall.' Sometimes things look good but you gotta be ready for a tumble! And Aug 1st deadline looms with threats of the so called 'reciprocal tariffs'. These guys are playing a deadly game! When I look at them I'd say 'Don't get mad get even'!

Morgan Stanley's Crystal Ball: Three Possible Outcomes!

Ah Morgan Stanley! They're tryin' to predict the future like I try to predict where the bad guys will be in a fight scene. They got three scenarios let's see if they got the moves! In the world of trade it is very easy to 'use your hands and feet as weapons'.

Scenario 1: Kick the Can – More Like Kick the Bucket?

They're sayin' the U.S. might just delay the tariffs and keep talkin'. It's like when I'm fightin' a whole gang and keep runnin' away to catch my breath! But even if they delay those tariffs could still come back to bite later. It's like they are trying to 'Strike first strike hard no mercy.' Maybe not so much but it can happen!

Scenario 2: Tactical Escalation – Sounds Like a Kung Fu Movie!

This one's more exciting! The U.S. slaps tariffs on some countries but not all at once. It's like when I fight multiple bad guys and take them down one by one! But the EU might hit back with their own tariffs! 'Am I angry? Yes I am!,' EU will say if the U.S. tariff axe falls on them

Scenario 3: Framework Frenzy – Is That Even a Real Thing?

Frameworks not full deals? Sounds like a half finished movie! But hey at least it shows the U.S. wants to lower tariffs. It's like me tryin' to do a difficult stunt – not perfect but at least I'm tryin'! Either way I got to keep my eyes on those markets.
