UBS On-Air: Paul Donovan Daily Audio '50% on'
US taxes on Indian imports doubled to 50%. US importers should pay the old tax rate on goods already en route to the US, delaying the effect. With full pass-through and no demand switching, the tax increase would add less than 0.1 percentage point to US consumer price inflation. However, the unpredictability of US trade policy affects global corporations as they manipulate their supply chains.

UBS On-Air: Paul Donovan Daily Audio 'Scapegoating the Federal Reserve'
US President Trump issued a letter purporting to fire Federal Reserve Governor Cook—an unprecedented action. After recent comments, investors will inevitably view this as an assault on Fed independence. There are obstacles—Trump already appointed a majority of Fed governors, without changing policy independence. If the dismissal survives the courts, the Senate must confirm any successor. Fed presidents still have policy votes. Faith in these checks may limit the negative market reaction.

UBS On-Air: Paul Donovan Daily Audio 'A standard Powell speech'
Federal Reserve Chair Powell’s speech at Jackson Hole last week was classic Powell. That is not a terribly good thing. Powell signaled an increased probability of a September rate cut to counter the damage of trade taxes on the US economy. Markets liked that. But this was essentially the “data dependent” mantra padded with additional rhetoric.
