US tariffs to weaken credit conditions, raise default risks: Moody's

Moody's Ratings on Wednesday said US tariffs will weaken credit conditions and raise defaults risks especially for low-rated and speculative grade corporates. It said that an unpredictable US trade policy will lead to a deterioration in global credit conditions and macroeconomic impact will slow growth with a growing possibility of recession. "Non-financial corporate sectors are most at risk from tariffs. Low-rated, speculative-grade companies will be affected by their reliance on debt markets. Risks for most banks and sovereigns are indirect through economic weakness," Moody's Ratings said in a report on US tariffs. On April 9, the US administration authorised a 90-day pause on the implementation of most reciprocal tariffs, reverting to a universal rate of 10 per cent on almost all targeted countries, while raising tariffs on most goods from China to 145 per cent. On April 16, US further hiked tariffs on exports from China to 245 per cent. "The tariffs have shocked financial marke

China vows strong response after US imposes additional 50% tariff

China on Wednesday promised to take resolute and forceful measures to safeguard its rights and interests, after net total tariffs of 104 per cent by President Donald Trump on Chinese imports into the US took effect. After Trump's additional 50 per cent tariffs on the world's second-largest economy, China has not announced any new tariffs on the US.
