Any day now, the US Supreme Court is set to rule on the legality of President Trump’s tariff policy. The betting markets think there’s a high chance the White House loses its appeal and that could see a raft of tariffs – including so-called “reciprocal” levies on the EU, China and the Rest of the World – struck down.

Join us on Monday for a 30-minute live webinar as our economists explain the potential impact of the decision on the global economy and central banks.

You’ll learn:

  • What the decision means - or if it hasn’t been delivered yet, the potential outcomes

  • What alternative options are available to the President to rebuild tariffs if the Supreme Court rules against him

  • Whether tariffs will rise or fall ahead of the US mid-term elections in November

  • How the Federal Reserve would react to higher or lower tariffs

  • If a ruling against tariffs would imperil President Trump’s ambitions for additional fiscal stimulus

  • What a change in tariffs would mean for Europe – and how it could affect the broader Trans-Atlantic relationship

Speakers

  • Carsten Brzeski (Global Head of Macro)

  • James Knightley (Chief International Economist)

  • James Smith – host (Developed Markets Economist)
