Trump’s tariff came into force and was one of the largest trade partnerships in history

“Created in California, assembled in China”. Freze Impreca On the back of the iPhones It is one of the symbols of one The largest economic partnership in history. Since the 1980s, USA E. China They expanded their integration, and the production exchange between them reached over 500 billion for the year.
As a result, the US is in the world’s highest financial position, and China is no longer a poor country, becoming the second largest global economy under 50 years.
However, this partnership lives with a great threat for a moment and this Wednesday, April 9, It took your biggest blow in many years. At midnight, additional import tariffs imposed by the United States came into force.
Last week, Trump announced that he would pay taxes to almost every country in the world Import tariffs From 10%. This 10% charge is Saturday 5, and Brazil is in this lowest category.
This Wednesday, 9 and additional charges were in effect. So, the European Union It was charged at 10% and another 10% on Saturday, for example 20%. Additional rates against other countries and blocks have also come into force Vietnam (46%) e Japan (24%). See the full list below.
With this, when adding to other fees, the charge on Chinese products Will be sent to the US 104%. Therefore, the production of Los Angeles into the port, worth $ 100, is worth $ 100, in a simplified account, pay $ 104 in 104 fees.
New rates have left steel, aluminum, cars and auto parts, already 25%taxes and other items including semiconductors, drugs and other items. Trump’s order decides that Mexico and Canada will not be affected. The percentages announced in January and later were reviewed. Exceptions made based on the USMCA agreement are also carried out.
Historical growth
Remember new tariffs Excessive increase from the 1930s And they change the dynamics of global trade, which points out the analysis of the Moody’s consultancy.
“Protective tools increase the complexity and cost of global trade and weaken growth opportunities, especially for commercial -based economies, as well as many sectors. Uncertainty is already delaying business belief and investment.”
The agency pointed out that rates would increase The risk of depression Reduce the chance of growth in the US and G20 countries.
On the contrary, he thinks that fees are a great way to increase US wealth, as they will make them bound to reduce the country’s trade deficit and buy more American goods. He said the measurement would increase tax collection and provide more jobs in the country.
Effects on markets
AS Trump rates They created strong turbulence in the markets. Scholarships in Asia and US have had historical waterfalls in recent days, including the actions of many American companies, Apple. The company’s shares (AAPL) fell from 323 on April 223, at the end of Tuesday, 8 and 8 to 3 173.11 before Trump announced.
In Brazil, the Dollar It has undoubted behavior. Fell at 6.60 at the end of last week, But Press $ 6 on TuesdayAs the trade war is intensified.
The scenario is very uncertain even though the rates have entered. Na Executive Order Trump said it had a place to raise rates or raise lower rates as the president estimates the reaction of Trump and other countries to the reaction of other countries.
A. White House He said that more than 70 countries have asked the US government to negotiate replicas for the fees. The Brazil It is among them and continuing conversations with the support of business enterprises.
In addition, most countries are very good to revenge on the US, which further climb trade conflict. The European Union And the United KingdomFor example, they study the means of retaliation. The challenge to decide on which products is that the US has more headaches and less discomfort for European manufacturers.
In addition to imposing tariffs, China has many other opportunities to retaliate the US, limiting access to rare lands and reducing the yuan value.
For Claudia Trevisan, Executive Director of the Brazil-China Business Council, the possibility of China’s currency is smaller. “They are not likely to do a very important value reduction. It allows the capital to escape and the Chinese leadership wants to keep the currency relatively stable,” he said.
For Brazil, the effects of tariffs are still uncertain. Asian country can occupy the market markets, such as the sale of soy to China to replace the volume purchased from the US and eventually receive more products that go to the US. On the other hand, it also hurt Dollar The world is dragged through the uncertainty and the disruption of supply chains, which make products.
“I believe yes (Brazil benefits from Tariff War) because our products are cheap according to our products in the United States market. If I am not wrong, the tariffs have replaced the tough -quota system. Fernando HaddadWere, and,, and,, and,, and,.. 8 at an event on Tuesday.
Analysts believe that companies will eventually send the cost of tariffs to consumers. Therefore, the IPhone 16For example, Can go from 99 799 to $ 1,142According to the projection of the American agency Rosenblot SecuritiesThe Reuters quoted.
Despite this high rate, the view of the “assembled in the USA” is still distant. In the US, salaries are higher than Asia, and in the front scenario, uncertainty companies are discouraging companies over long -term investment. The calm that forms the product using pieces and ideas around the world is gradually becoming something from the past.
