Bell Direct
June 13, 2025

Markets were stirred this week by fresh data revealing the impact of US tariffs, with China’s exports to the US plunging and deflationary pressures deepening. While a trade deal appears imminent, uncertainty lingers. In the US, softer than expected inflation figures helped ease pressure on the Fed for the moment. Meanwhile, Japanese business sentiment slipped into the red, while back home CBA soared to a world-first record high, triggering scrutiny over the influence of Aussie super funds on local markets.

• (0:10): US-China trade talk amidst the release of economic data
