Uncertainty Looms Over Global Trade Post-Trump Victory

Trump's election introduces significant uncertainty for the global economy, particularly affecting Germany and India. His aggressive stance on trade could lead to increased tariffs, especially targeting nations with trade surpluses like Germany.

The German auto industry faces potential repercussions, as Trump's fixation on trade figures may escalate into a full-blown trade conflict. Meanwhile, India must navigate the complexities of its relationship with the U.S., as it remains heavily reliant on American markets.

With the potential for unpredictable decisions from Trump's administration, the EU is urged to strengthen its single market and prepare for possible retaliatory measures. Investors remain cautious, hoping that a trade war will be avoided, yet the risk of erratic policy-making persists.
