President-elect Donald Trump has won a significant victory on an economic platform that favors protectionism. He has promised to impose high tariffs on imports from China and other countries.
Economists are concerned about the potential risks to global prosperity and inflation that may arise from this aggressive trade stance. However, Wall Street has responded positively, with stocks experiencing a rally known as the "Trump trade." Bond investors, on the other hand, are more cautious.
Global leaders are actively seeking to engage with the incoming administration to mitigate the impact of Trump's trade policies. The defeat of Vice President Kamala Harris is seen as a rejection of the previous administration's economic strategies, prompting policymakers to reassess the future of the global economy and financial markets under Trump's leadership.
A live Q&A session featuring experts from the Financial Times will discuss how a Trump presidency may reshape global trade and financial markets. Readers are encouraged to submit questions and participate in the discussion scheduled for November 14 at 3 PM GMT/10 AM ET.
